Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!! I went down to Goleta with Alexis to spend time with the family. Lots of good food and good times :) I am very thankful for all of my family, my friends, and the wonderful people that I get to work for. You guys rock!

The Jorgensen/Myers/Spangler posse.

Madelyn is so cute!

Rylee and Francy. It's cool as the babies get bigger, you get to see parts of their personality forming. Francy thought it was the funniest thing in the world when someone said "Paul Blart Mall Cop," the name of a movie that we were watching.

My mom, Alexis and I went on one of those red double-decker tourist buses. They drive you around Santa Barbara pointing out all of the historical spots. Sometimes it's fun to be a tourist in your own town :)

A classic shot of the SB Mission from the fountain. Seeing the Mission made me excited about Natalie and Dan's wedding that will be there next year.

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!!

The Charettes

I took some photos of the Charette Family today. We are all friends from church, and I'm sad that they are moving to Florida. I'm glad that they are probably swimming in the warm ocean out there right now though :) Emily is an awesome graphic designer, Jeff makes sweet websites, and Eleanor is cute. Here are some of the photos:

Heidi and Lucy

Heidi and Andy Fox are friends of mine from our home group Bible study, and they are the proud parents of Lucy Fox. It was cool seeing it go from "I'm pregnant!" to the big belly, and then seeing Lucy smiling. We finally got around to doing some photos, but unfortunately Andy had some stuff come up so he couldn't make it. Here are some of the photos:

Francy Ella Spangler

My cousin, Rylee and her husband, Phil, had a beautiful baby girl on Thursday (6/11). Francy Ella Spangler. They were home from the hospital, and I got to go visit them and see the baby. Here are some photos:

Phil's parents drove down from Oregon to see baby Francy.

The Charettes

Emily and Jeff are friends from the home group that I go to through Dolores Park Church. I stopped by their house today to say hi and see their week-old baby girl, Eleanor Grace Charette. It was cool to watch the process from "hey guys, we're pregnant," to big belly, and today, getting to hold baby Grace. It's really an amazing process. I snapped a couple of photos because I happened to have my camera in the car. I think that I need to carry my camera around more often for all of the day to day happenings, and not just for work stuff.

The Nelson Family

You might recognize this family from their appearances in the photos from Brian and Lea's wedding. Lance is Lea's brother, and this is his family. It was a little chilly out, but we still got good shots. The photos were all taken in the Haight/Ashbury zone in SF. You can see more photos in the SLIDESHOW if you want.

Olivia is so cute!




The bright sun made it a little hard for these shots to work, but I think the background is cool.
Grandpa came to help watch the kids while we were taking the shots with just Randi and Lance.
I love the colors in this shot. 





Haha. These guys know how to get crazy! Right on the verge of being totally gangsta.
