L Family {Sacramento Family Photographer}

We had lots of fun running around Capitol Park chasing squirrels. Little K was thrilled when they "talked" to her and it made me think that next time dressing up as a squirrel might be a good trick...

Donner Lake {The Food}

With 17 people in one space, you can imagine all the food that we ate...and boy, was it good! Each family took a day to be in charge of the food. Here is a little snippet of food we ate. It makes me hungry looking at it.

Donner Lake {At Night}

We spent last week at Donner Lake, just north of Lake Tahoe. My brother was smart and brought his tripod, so we had lots of fun at night. Here are just a few pictures I took.

Yosemite {Yo-seh-muh-tee}

If you live anywhere near Yosemite, you must go as soon as you can! And if you don't live near Yosemite, put it on your travel list. We went for a day and a half and were in awe of the incredible beauty and serenity found there. I don't think I have said "Wow! That is amazing!" so many times. Go. You will be so happy you did.

Cinderella Cookies {aka Chewy Oatmeal Cookies}

My girl, for some reason, calls these Cinderella cookies...and they are delicious! Find the recipe here, and don't forget the baking soda (because I did that and threw out the cookies and had to start over).
