This last week I was fortunate enough to escape this blazing heat and miserable drought for a trip to Yosemite National Park. Please excuse the insane amount of photos I’m posting from this trip, but I just can’t help myself. While we do have an abundance of kind, down-to-earth people in central Texas, we just don’t have these kinds of natural wonders. I was mesmerized. And I desperately needed to be mesmerized.
I had the added bonus of getting to visit my sister since she works at the park. Plus we had our own tour guide for the couple days we were there. And a big thanks to my husband’s parents for watching our 1.5 year old daughter for a couple days so we could thoroughly explore this incredible place without stopping every three feet to marvel at a pinecone, as cute as that can be.
Okay, here we go with the photos. I’ll be blabbing a lot throughout the post too.
That poor innocent soul at the bottom is my favorite.
Can I take a moment to say: un-freaking-believable. How is one place so naturally majestic?

This last weekend was my nephew’s 9th birthday, so my family and I headed up to Dallas to celebrate with him. While I was there, I pulled out my camera and made him come outside with me so I could get a few shots of him since it has been way too long since I photographed some of my favorite subjects. Well, as typically happens, the rest of the kids (and my brother) followed us out to play as well.
Love these photos and these people!

I love this girl’s smile. (In this case, this girl just happens to be my girl.)
She has a ton of spirit, which she uses for both good and evil (hello, public tantrums).
She’s 18 months old and just started really talking lately, and the sound of her little words coming out of her mouth is the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard. She’s so proud of herself, and it’s so fun hearing her practice talking, like when she was holding an old flip cell phone to her cheek this morning while pacing around the house and saying, “Hello! Hi!” and saying, “Buh bye!” before she closed the phone and smiled proudly at me.
She’s been saying new words everyday, and this evening she even surprised me by saying, “Hi Turkledog!” as our dog walked past the bathroom door after her bath. What?! Where did that come from? She still seems to have trouble with some single syllable words but then busted out that four syllable phrase! I guess she hears that a lot around here.
Oh yeah….she also has a new favorite storage facility for her index finger.

There are a lot more photos I’ll share from the little photo shoot my husband and I did with our one year old tonight, but I thought I’d start with this one for now. I absolutely love it and wish I could take credit for this photo, but I can’t. This one is all my husband.
