A Day at the Lake

Posted on Feb 17, 2013 in Family

Spring like day so we decided to head to the lake for a little relaxation and to see nature.  It was a nice day on the small like right in Escondido.

The boat was slow.  So slow that people in paddle boats passed us by as if they were in speed boats.

We would have been better off in row boats I would imagine.  Well it only cost us $30 to rent the very slow boat for one hour.  One hour too long if you asked us.

Geno and his dad share a happy moment as I click a picture of them with my fisheye lens.  180 angle of view on this lens.  It makes people look like they have big noses.

Danny played a trick on Geno and made poor little Geno cry his eyes out.  Well it just for a minute.

A happy family moment on the lake.

Lead the way back home Geno.  It’s time for dinner!

5 Lovely Love Pictures for Valentines Day

Posted on Feb 14, 2013 in Family

Valentines Day is a day of the heart.  It is a day to say sweet things like I Love You and to give candy to someone special.  Or you can give them a cake or a sweet present too.

Love is a many splendor thing.  It is like a bird singing a sweet melody on a tree on a Spring day.

On Valentines day you can give your gal a smooch and say, Hey Babes, I love you Babes.  And no one can call you less manly for doing it.

love you

You can wear a shirt with a heart on it and prance around like Saint Valentine and shoot soft arrows at people – and they might laugh and join you.

Because Valentines is about the three little words that make the world go-round.

Beautiful Cakes by Tu

Posted on Feb 10, 2013 in Family

Just a couple of months ago Tu decided she was going to start baking and now she is being asked to do the most important cakes in peoples lives for them – Wedding Cakes.

Just Thursday she was asked to prepare a Wedding Cake for Saturday. Talk about last minute notice! She stayed awake late on Friday night preparing ideas in her head and came up with a beautiful cake arrangement for the Wedding.  And she finished it with no time to spare, putting the finishing touches on it right before it was supposed to be delivered.

The Nashster at Babycakes

Posted on Jan 26, 2013 in Family

I went up to Babycakes in Los Angeles at their Larchmont location today.   I was taking pictures of all of the cool new and delicious things that they have come up with in the last few months including some incredible boxed cake, cookie and brownie mixes.

Kevin Nash my nephew was there and we made an absolute mess of the kitchen.  I’m off to Sequoia National Park tomorrow to see some big trees.

Check out these two cuties. That’s Tu’s niece and nephew. I was working on some photographs and didn’t realize that they both did essentially the same pose on two separate days. What a coincidence.

Happy Birthday #1 Isabella

Posted on Jan 13, 2013 in Family

One year ago she arrived.  She was cute and everyone couldn’t figure out if she looked more like Michelle or Bill. Now Isabella is 1 and everyone still says the same thing.

I personally think that Isabella looks a lot like Michelle from the pictures of her when she was a baby.  In any case, Isabella had a birthday party on the Bay and it was a smashing success.

Isabella has been getting rave reviews as a baby over the last year with people saying things like, “This is the cutest baby of all time”, and, “watch out world, Here comes Isabella and she will knock  you out with her sweetness”.  Critics all agree, Isabella is a hit!

You can check out all the pictures (and there are a lot of them at this link)

And she got lots and lots and lots of presents.  She was so good opening them up.  She was so dainty and didn’t want to make a mess.

Isabella had a great time with her mom on the beach.

Geno, you’re funny!

Posted on Jan 8, 2013 in Family

We were on the boat and the waves were kicking up.  We were in the cabin and caught Geno over-reacting to the wind and the waves getting a bit larger.  Geno is funny.
