New wide angle 10-22mm lens

Okay so I finally got my wide angle lens for better group pictures and the amazing wide angle lens gives me a new perspective when shooting. If you look at some of the shots I am literally 6 inches away from my kids face and am still getting a great dynamic range. As you can also see, some of the shots have very unique perspectives that exaggerate certain aspects of the subject. It allows me to have more creativity when shooting profile or scenic shots. Check them out!!!

Halloween 09

So for Halloween Alyssa was a monkey again and Ashley was Cinderella and a Fairy. Well Halloween allows the kids and adults to act silly. We took the kids to Sherrie's work for their annual Halloween Party. Sherrie won for most creative costume again. That's three years in a row. The first two years she was a "cereal" killer and a Dixie Cup. This year she was a night stand, a "one night stand", hehe!!! I first thought she looked liked a file cabinet, but you be the judge. For Halloween, we took the kids trick or treating around the Mesa College area and they lasted for a few hours. Check out the pics.

Sacramento Weekend

Our weekend trip to Sacramento the last week of October was an emotional roller coaster. We went up there to attend Sherrie's uncle's funeral. He past away due to brain cancer. That same weekend was also Sherrie's birthday. We had a chance to meet up with the family before the holidays. So the kids are still too young to comprehend the truth about the trip, they just thought the trip was to visit their cousins because we would not be able to go up there for the holidays. While up there the kids and Sherrie all got new hair styles. We also attended a birthday party too.

So Arielle is now 5 and is going to school. The kids had a blast at the party and enjoyed the open back yard to play in. They also enjoyed the Jumper and definitely ate a lot of food and sweets. The day ended up being very nice weather wise. Another year another party, and boy does the time fly by.

We had the pleasure of attending Noah and Lucas' Birthday Party. The girls had fun as usual. When there is a jumper, the kids go crazy and can pretty much play in there the rest of the day.

So we spent the weekend at Disneyland and California Adventures back on the last week of July. Sorry for posting these so late. I didn't realize that I took over 200 shots. For day 1, we spent the entire time at Disneyland. The kids amazingly stayed awake up till midnight when the park closed. Let's just say it was a very loooong day. Day 2, we went to California Adventures. This was our first time there. It's an okay park, but I think it will get better once all the new rides are finished being built. We however enjoyed the close up interactions with all the Disney characters. That was a plus. Check out the pics. The kids once again had a great time.

Wow, time sure flies by. Ashley is now 4 years old. We were able to celebrate her birthday with great friends and family. She was so excited about her party that she refused to take a nap, so we had a little grumpy child when it was time to cut the cake. But that all went away when it was time for her to open her presents. It seems that everyone had a great time and we really appreciated all of our friends and family for being there to celebrate Ashley's 4th birthday.
