BTW....

I have a lot of catching up to do, I know...but we're enjoying some major family time:)  The countdown has begun for the arrival for Baby Hadj II.  It's been such a different pregnancy and has flown by so fast!  Right now we're spending some QT with our Godchildren.  It's been so much fun!  I can't believe in 3 months we'll be a family of four.  I feel a strong desire to spend the next 3 months focusing on Ame and spending time with her.  I know our lives are about to embark on another amazing journey, but why not enjoy the three of us until then.  We aren't out of the clear for weddings though...Straty is the Best Man to Vinnie this month.  I've just been asked to read at their wedding and help out with day of timeline and arrangements, which means a lot to me. Details...  A HUGE must to me:)  Weddings can create the biggest monsters sometimes.  I still remember reading my SOE.  I had the pore souls lead off with the right foot and to smile.  Yes, it was on paper:)  Almost TEN years ago!  It was the prison guard in me that was the wedding drill captain.  We watched Bride Wars last night and it hit a lot of emotions.  I could see myself doing that wedding planner stuff again.  I loved wearing the wireless and speaking into the radios.  I did that as a prison guard too:)  Oh...and the suits and the fun heels!  I'd buy a special suit for the high end events, to match the event.  That's why I have a red suit, orange suit and several different black ones, still hanging in my closet.  I look at them and can remember the event so clearly.  Or my blue pin stripped from Ann Taylor Dad bought me on one of our WW and Maggiano nights (xoxo)  I better stop, I could go on forever.  I've been in a bad funk lately pondering if stay at home mom is what the Lord really wants for me or if I'm good enough for the job.  I'll spare you the details, no woe is me or playing the victim, it's all with the good man himself.  The whole sharing is caring is BS for me now.  I think there are people out there that feed off of your sharing/weakness/whatever and to empower themselves.  I'm done.  See bad funk.  Just breathe.  I can't wait to get back to S.

The CRAZYbooth at Sarah and Dean's wedding!

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of shooting Sarah and Dean's wedding in Huntington Beach. Every little detail was absolutely beautiful, fun and totally THEM! I will post some of the wedding images later this week. But for now I will tell you about the most fun and exciting new offer for weddings! It is the CRAZYbooth! I had a photographer man the booth (or wo-manned - thanks Jessica!) and the guests had such a blast. Here is the slideshow of how the night went! If you are interested in ordering any of the files from the night please follow the link for the shopping cart and enter the passcode: CRAZY

Yesterday was Auntie Connie and Uncle Art's last day in Sunny CA.  We went to one of our favorite stomping grounds, Old Orange.  Later that evening we had dinner Downtown HB.  It was wonderful having spent time with you two!  Aunt Connie, you were amazing with the flowers and ran a tough ship!  xoxox

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!!

We had a wonderful afternoon in the land of magic today...Disneyland, celebrating mom's birthday.  Amelia loves playing in the water.  Then it was good eats at Tortilla Flats.  I am officially documenting that Amelia does not like fireworks or the Electrical Parade.  Like mommy, she does not like the loud noise of the fireworks.  Those of you who have been to Disney may understand when I say, it sounds like bombs are landing everywhere and the castle is under attack!  For the parade, I think the blinking lights were kinda like fireworks and the loud noise!!!  When the sun goes down, we must leave!!!!  The funniest thing happened on the way out, a man using his video camera to shoot the fireworks was walking while shooting and walked right into the stroller, falling over the stroller.  He didn't hurt Amelia, but break off one of its wheels.  Crazy night!  Happy Birthday Mom, I love you!

Happy Birthday PaPou!!!! The West Coast Grandpa

We love you very much and hope you had a wonderful day of relaxation!
