Some Sun

I was going through some recent photos to delete all the extra pictures that are just clogging up the hard drive and we don't need anyway. Marisa has a tendency to take 30 million shots, but maybe that is why she always gets the best ones. Even though the following doesn't have all the kids looking the right direction, I really like it. I seemed to capture the moment we were having really well.



We had great weather here in Seattle this past weekend so we tried to get out and do a lot while it was here. We went to a Japanese Garden to get some ideas on how to do our back yard. We really came away with some good inspiration. It was beautiful, but it didn't click for me when it came to taking photos. I'm a big contrast person and there were some almost overpowering pinks with a lot of greens of various colors. We got a cute one of Trey though.
With our three active boys we love taking action shots. This was spur of the moment so they are unfortunately in their PJ's and Bex is holding his blanket, but I love catching them in the air.

Those gardens and the tulip festival look beautiful! Maybe our trip out their next year will have to be in the spring so we can hit those up.

I really like the tulip shot too. That photographer must be really talented to capture each individual personality in your family that way. ;)
