 1/4000 sec at f/ 2.0 ISO 400 (had to turn up the ISO bc we were in the shades) All photos in the sun shot at 1/4000 sec at f/ 2.0 ISO 100 I took last Friday off to relax with the family, we decided to head to the beach since Kaylee can't get enough of the sand. I love how peaceful the beach is at this time of year. The sun was luminous and bright with a nice cool ocean breeze. Not too hot, simply perfect fall weather. The tourist season is over so we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Hope you are having a great week so far!

Dress:: HM (old)   Sunglasses:: Urban Outfitters  Shoes:: Nine West Kaylee's lookbook:  Hello Kitty dress with non-matching shoes. Hubby took over dressing K last week and he failed. Polka dots with stripes and shoes that doesn't match. I think he was going for color blocking trend :D I think next time I will just have to set K's clothes out for hubby. ha! Either way she is still adorable in her non matching clothes. At least Hubby did a good job with putting K's hair up in pigtails. I had such a wonderful birthday weekend! Thanks everyone for the sweet birthday wishes! 30 is old enough to be taken seriously, but you're not likely old enough to be jaded and burned out. 

Simple anniversary dinner with hubby and our sweet girl. Wearing my old old HM dress since I am still on shopping ban (about a month now and been doing very well) We didn't do anything fancy just simply enjoying each others company over sushi and desert.  I can't get over how cute Kaylee's cowgirl boots are! Target has the most adorable kids clothes and shoes! Dinner is not complete without some frozen yogurt!  9 random things about the number 9 1. Husband and I met in 9/30/2003 2.

We have been together for 9 years I am off to celebrate my birthday weekend with  awesome people in my life! Thank you for all the sweet

A friend once said we won't last longer then 6 months because long distance relationship doesn't last.  9 years and a beautiful baby girl later, we still make a pretty good team. Things are not always perfect but we learn to communicate and respect one another. Life would be silly and boring if everything was perfect.  Each day we face new challenges and obstacles and the key is finding that one person to be in the same team as you. I am lucky girl to have such a wonderful man to be in the same team as me and to help me raise an amazing beautiful little girl. Back in college years Vegas 2010 Summer 2010 Wedding Day 9.12.09

Right by our house there's a little deserted spot with nothing but grass, trees and well..mosquitoes (I didnt know about the mosquitoes until later) . Kaylee and I took a nice little stroll there with my camera and tripod to do a fun shoot with just the two of us. Since Fall is slowing approaching upon us, we are trying to enjoy every last minute soaking up the sun before we trade in our sandals for fall boots. I hardly ever use my  tripod  but it's definitely put in good use whenever hubby is away to take photos of K and I. I got mine from amazon last year.  Hope you had a beautiful weekend, we did absolutely nothing over the weekend and that was amazing!   It's so nice to relax and not have anything on the agenda. Looking forward to short week since I am taking Friday off to enjoy my last day in my twenties :) Have a great Monday!

Kaylee turned 18 months. She is so quick on her feet and can maneuver an ipad like it's her own. Always smiling but can fake a good cry. These 18 months has been a bliss but that is going to change soon! Potty training coming right up! This is something hubby and I have been dreading but can't wait to save money on diapers! I think it's going to be interesting and also nerve recking for K and I. Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated! Over the weekend we did our 2nd annual grape picking, my all time favorite fruit to pick! Muscadine grapes has this tangy, sweet juicy flavor that is so addicting! We ended up with 16 lbs of grapes and already planning our next trip back to stock up. I am done with the hot and humid weather. Can Fall please come a bit sooner! Have you gone grape picking? I highly recommend it! :) Have a great day!
