Do you think it was something I said??

Isn't Fantasia a hoot???

My daughter turned nine today. I can not believe there was a time in my life that my daughter didn't exist in my life. I know it sounds silly but I even classify my life as "B.C." Before Cassi!
She has changed me in ways I never thought possible. She has made me a better person (yes...a few more gray hairs too!!!) and makes me laugh more than I ever thought possible.

A nine year old girls world is filled with Webkinz, Hannah Montana, girlish fights, High School Musical, and Zach Ephron. These are a part of my world right now too.

She recently told her class that Zach Ephron was her cousin...too bad she also told them he was her boyfriend which took away all credibility on the first fib!!!

We celebrated her birthday on Sunday at my Mom's house. Cassi's Dad surprised her with two ponies for her and her friends to ride at the party. Cassi loved it!

The pics above are of one the horses. I can't believe how animated (no pun intended!!!) Fantasia is in these! These make me laugh!

I was going to post in vivid color but the teeth were looking a little nasty and the "chocolate syrup 2 action" from Kevin Kubota's actions was a quick fix.

I have plans to share more images from:

Darrin's awesome games (check out his "star of the game" interview on KUSI prep pigskin last Friday...it's hysterical!!!!)
Cassi's birthday party
More wedding images
Halloween images
and the wedding Geri and I are photographing this Friday...

and I will do so soon!

I am in the middle of photographing high school homecomings here in San Diego all of this month. One of my jobs at the studio is organizing, staffing, setting up, and photographing 8-9 local high school homecomings and proms each year. They overlap with more than one on the same night on some weekends and so it takes some strategizing on my part to keep it all organized. Most of my brain power goes to these events (along with many other events and jobs!) and I get behind on personal things. So I apologize in advance if I don't post as often as I
would like this month! October is my favorite month for pictures so I promise many more posts soon!

sooo...Happy Birthday Cassi and I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the future!!!

Enjoy!
