A true Southern California Boy

Liam got some USC gear for Christmas and I promised Uncle Michael that I would take his picture.  I finally managed to get a few snapshots of Liam is his cute jersey.  Thanks Uncle Mike!

 

Go Trojans!

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Part II

Well, I finally got a second to update the blog…it’s only been a few weeks now!  I’ve got Liam strapped in the highchair with a plate of food (most of which he will feed to Finnegan) so I’m going to take advantage of this time to get the rest of the pictures up.  We had so much fun visiting with my parents.  We miss you guys already!

My parents.

 

This picture cracks me up.  Another example of Liam doing some “free style walking”  Thanks for the help Grandma!

  Just chillin’ with some milk.  

 

The flowers are beautiful in Disneyland during the springtime.  So beautiful, that Liam decided to go through the fence to get some of his own!

 

 

 

Here’s my proof that photography is in my genes!

 

   Liam going for the flowers again!

We set Liam on this statue of the White Rabbit and he decided

he should kiss it!  Such a silly, lovey boy!

Frank’s Dad, Grandpa Ray met us in the evening so we sent all the big boys on Thunder Mountain Railroad.  If you look closely you can see Grandpa Ray next to Frank.  Such a fun ride!

Well, my time on the computer is done.  Liam is screaming to be let down, his food is all over and there is bananas in his hair.  Time to run! 

Visiting with Grandma and Grandpa (Part 1)

Our third set of family visits was from my parents, aka Grandma and Grandpa Thorne.  I love my parents so much.  At times it is so hard to be 6 hours away from them, especially when Liam is growing and changing so much!   Our visits are always fun and always much too short.  There is never enough time to get everything done.  Since my Dad and I are both a bit of photography nerds we took many, many, many pictures during their visit, hence the Part 1 and Part 2 posts.  One of the first things we did was go to visit The Mission Inn in Riverside.  The architecture is beautiful and on Saturdays there is a fun little farmer’s market.  We have been there with every family visit….it has rained on us every time!  I am excited to go back with my “big camera” and take some more pictures of Liam.

Look at those beautiful doors!  This is outside of one of the wedding chapels at the hotel.  And there’s Frank enjoying the damp weather!

 

We sat Liam on this little niche that was right outside of those beautiful doors.  It was funny, if maybe a little sacreligious.  Don’t sit to close to our family, we may be struck by lightening!  The “seat” Liam is sitting on is about five feet off the ground….I almost wet myself….but I got the shot!

  

  Happy Grandpa!

 I had to include this picture.  This tile is above the doors on the wedding chapel.  The first time I saw it I thought it said “Hast thou made the mall”  That is proof to Frank that shopping is a divine act!

 

More visits from family…

A few weeks ago my brother Kyle and his wife Darshan came to visit.  We have so much fun hanging out together.  Liam had a blast with his Auntie Darshan and Uncle Kyle!

   

 We took some time to play ball in the backyard.  Look at Liam go!

Next we went to Disney California.

Cuddling with Uncle Kyle.

  L Liam was not too sure about the rides.

 

Thanks Kyle and Darshan!  We had so much fun! 

Hope you come back soon!!!
