This last Sunday, Jess, Charlie, Lisa and I got up at 5am... ouch. But it was all worth it! This is something that will be a tradition for us from now on, going and doing the CHOC walk as a thank you to our Dr's at CHOC who helped give us the little miracle of our Charlotte Jean Parris. It was a great time, even though it was WAY too early :) I highly recommend it for all, and next year, we'll be doing a Team Charlie for all who'd like to walk with us. It does offer some opportunities for some amazing shots... so of course, you can't pass that up!

Here are just a few...

Crossing the finish line at Downtown Disney right about the time Charlie had about enough and decided it was meltdown time. Woo. She did great though all day!

And then of course, I wanted to do a few more of her Castle pics, minus the hat. I love her smile in these!

So like I said, we had a huge day at Disneyland with us, Charlie & Aunt Lisa, and it was amazing!!

These are a few of my favorites from the day, and I must say, I love these of us and our little girl! The ones of us three were taken by my totally awesome big sis, Lis'. It was such a fun day, it was so great to just go and hang out and be a family. Thank you to my wonderful sister, my amazing wife, and my beautiful baby girl - it was an absolute perfect day!

This was so much fun and Charlie did so great for her little mini shoot...


I love it, LOVE IT...


Again, LOVE IT...


Look Charlie, I'm a cowboy, howdy, howdy, howdy...


Charlie, Jess & Lis' :)




Another one of my favorites, my little girl...


There are a ton more to come that I'm so excited to share with you... Thanks to my family for an absolutely wonderful day, it was PERFECT!

: Charlie's big day

So this is real quick because I'm heading to Sacramento tomorrow for a wedding on Saturday, and I'm going to get some images up from Adrian & Erin's wedding this last weekend - which rocked!

But I took a day off my day time job and Jess, Charlie and I went to DISNEYLAND! It was so much fun! The three of us got there a little early, 9'ish and spent the first few hours just wandering, taking pictures (shocking I know) and just enjoying being back in the park after a long hiatus! We rode Dumbo & Casey Jr before my big sis Lisa came and met us. We did Buzz, the Carousel, Toontown to see Mickey (my old stomping grounds), Tiki Room, Pirates, Pooh, then off to DCA for food & Turtle Talk with Crush.

I have quite a few pics to post later and some video, but I thought I would post this one first, our first family pic at the Land. It was such a great day and a HUGE thank you to my sister, it was a blast to have you with us today! We love you!!

Some of my favorite pics will come later on, I need to make sure I got everything set for this weekend, can't exactly run home to get something. Off to John Wayne for an 8am flight... yikes! And Flickr was having some issues uploading, so I used Jess' Shutterfly, hence the slight different in the picture size. Anyways...

Aloha all, I can't wait for you to see the rest of the Disneyland pictures and pictures from Katie & Wes' wedding this weekend - it's going to be sooooo awesome!! Lis', mahalo - it was a blast, Charlie, I hope you had fun, which I'm sure you did, and Sweetheart, I love you tremendously and will miss you terribly!

Gooooood night!
