My Weekend in Photos

Even with the gloomy and cold weather on Friday and Saturday, it was another great weekend. I had a blast on Saturday with Ubaldo and Socorro at the Cal Poly Farm in Pomona, yes, officially one of my favorite places ever to play, shoot photo sessions and get great produce. They were doing a tasting of many of their farm store goods and I thought it would be fun to take Ubaldo to play and taste, of course. Even at the early age of 18 months he has proven over and over that he is a big foodie.

This kept him entertained for a little while, but we had to convince him that it was not okay to go in with the horses.

He is as much fun as these photos prove, he’s got so much expression and attitude and even said my name for the first time. It sounds like NANNY since he can’t pronounce the C. Kris is officially jealous and is currently working on getting Ubaldo to say his name too.;)

Sunday we saw Alice in Wonderland in the afternoon to avoid crowds and I really enjoyed it, while Kris was not as impressed, but all in all a good time. Afterwards we met up with the family for dinner at Cajun Swamp in Fullerton, such a hidden gem. I highly recommend if you love cajun food, very low key, but the food is delicious! Mom was sick at home and with my brother Erik at UCLA it felt a bit weird at first to have dinner without them, just something to get used to I suppose. I managed to get a few shots, but these boys don’t like photos.

Getting ready for another mamalita session this Thursday and a wedding this Saturday, this month is off to a good start. Just got to keep the energy level up with some good workouts and healthy food. My mind is going 150 miles per hour, you should see my business and personal journals, you would be scared. Thank goodness for baths and red wine.;)
