happy easter!

Happy Easter! We went over to the Marriott Desert Springs hotel where they had a huge Easter event. First, they had an Easter Bunny that parachuted out of an airplane, and just following that was an egg hunt for all of the kids (there were probably about 300 kids there...it was crazy!) Makena got about 5 eggs which was pretty good considering the older kids were running circles around the little ones! Grandma and Grandpa were able to come spend the holiday with us and we all had a great time. Makena still cannot stop talking about the bunny "parachuting down down down to the ground."
Here are some more pictures of the day!!

Park Avenue Logo

Holly (photographer) has put a name to her pseudo "modeling agency"--Park Avenue Models. It ties into several other businesses she runs, Park Avenue Photography and Park Avenue Resells. The latter is a little side job we work on together in which we resell designer baby/childrens apparel in our e-bay boutique. We will resell some of the clothes we model, and we will also act as a consignment type shop for anyone wanting to sell some of their higher end clothes. But anyway--Holly had these shirts made so she can put a logo together. Couldn't decide which pic I liked the best, so here they both are...I know, I know--they really aren't that different!

little miss minnie

Makena and Peyton modeled a Mickey and Minnie set made by Kellie of Spoiled Sweet. The outfit was ADORABLE, still a little big on her though. How cute would this be going to Disneyland?
I am having the hardest time with Makena's hair in the studio--it looks so stringy under the lights, so I have to find the best way to do it. The blonde parts get totally washed out. I will have to keep playing with it...

spoiled sweet

Makena had a photo shoot today for a custom boutique designer Spoiled*Sweet. The outfit was so adorable, and was tailored to fit her exactly. The designer made a coordinating "sister set" for Peyton, and so they modeled together. The outfits will be sold in her e-bay boutique which is part of the Anthology, Inc. group and will be made custom to your child. Is this outfit not the cutest?? We are having so much fun with this!

it's a world of laughter...

We took a trip to Disneyland this weekend and had the absolute best time. It was Makena's first trip and she was in heaven! She knew most of the characters from books and her favorite TV shows, so she was ecstatic when she saw them in person. She loved every ride we went on, including Pirates of the Caribbean--and was an angel waiting in line, including one that we had to wait an hour! It was pretty remarkable. We had so much fun, we can't wait to go back!

Kissing Goofy & excited to see Minnie Mouse (picture makes it appear that Makena is scared of Minnie, when in fact she is trying to turn towards her--she kept saying "Hold you Minnie" cause she wanted Minnie to hold her...)

Makena was asked to do a little modeling for some boutique designers. Our friends Holly (photographer) and her daughter Peyton have been involved in this type of thing for awhile so they recruited Makena. First photo shoot went pretty well--better than I expected, she acted like being in the studio came very natural to her. She may not always smile for the camera when I pull it out, but she does seem to "pose" with her perfect little pout face that I love!
