GRACEY & MAX

Well as you can see these are not camping pictures as promised. Unfortunately all the photo's are with my husband in White Mountain. Oops. So next week camping photos for sure!! But for now here are a few photo's of my parents new dog Gracey. She is so cute and the epitome of a puppy (which means she did not sit still for 1 second). She LOVES people and just has a joy for life!! I also snapped a photo of Max, he looked so handsome!

BUSY

I know that it is every photographers excuse for not posting!! But we truly are. Not only have we been busy shooting, but we have been editing for another photographer, deigning graphics for our church and trying keep it all balanced so we don't drive each other crazy. Wow a big step for our business!! So besides the daily grind we have added even more to plow through. Please don't get me wrong we LOVE it and are so blessed to be doing it but God only gives us 24 hours in the day. So if you think we have disappeared rest assure.......we haven't! I have a few blog posts in the queue. Next on deck is our much requested camping trip post. I promise it's on the way!!

CAMP PENDELTON SPRINT TRIATHLON

Yesterday, Matt and a few of his freinds and family partipated in the Camp Pedelton Sprit Triathlon. The tri is a 500yd swim, 18mi bike, and a 5K run. This was Matt's first tri, and he placed 19th out of 89 in his category. Not bad sweetie!! It was super overcast in the morning, but later the sun came out and it was a beautiful day.

A few bike details :)

Checking in...

The race was on the Navy base. All over the base were these huge hovercrafts....they were awesome.

The race even ended on one...so cool

The guys had to go set up there stuff in the transition area....spectators were not allowed :(

There were so many people....thank goodness for the 70-200mm!!

And the race begins!!

Back from the swim....Now for the bike

And the run...

Matt's parents even did the race. GO GARTNERS!!

Great job guys!! Next year....matching jerseys :)

SOUTH CAROLINA

Last week Matt and I had the privilege of going to South Carolina to visit his brother & sister-in-law and their new baby Stella. Michael joined the Navy 2 years ago and is now teaching at the Nuclear Power School in SC. It was nice to finally get to see there new home and meet our niece. The town was so much fun, we really enjoyed walking around downtown and seeing all the old buildings and history. I think this might be the longest post EVER....but I couldn't choose.....

How cute is she!!

I know this picture is not totally in focus...but I love Uncle Matt's face!!

Some fun buildings downtown

This guy was just wandering around....who knew you would see a tortoise in downtown, SC

We went down to the Battery and saw some amazing old houses!! They were beautiful!!

A little sass.... :)

Love this picture of you Di!! A few canons and guns to play with

The happy family!! We miss you guys already!!
