Sunday morning in the park

In the middle of the week I decided that rather than wait till after surgery to get the family picture taken before Ashley leaves for Texas we needed to do it now.. and on Sunday while Brian was down for the weekend. So I had Ashley pulling shirts out of the closet of mine and dads to came up with the "base" color that we were going to use and it was brown/tan.. Ashley found a top in her closet that was dark brown.. beautiful that it was coming together as I wasn't able to do any shopping.

So I got in touch with a friend who had taken Ashley's pictures 6 years ago and she was a "yes". And than I got into contact with Brian's girlfriend if she could help Brian find a polo shirt and also that Shane would need a shirt that was a compliment to Brians in color and style. She was good with this and they took care of this when he came home. Brian admits that he has no fashion sense has a closet full of t-shirts, he could use a makeover.

The temperature has been pretty hot and windy to where we have had the A/C on every day. So after checking weather.com for Sunday's hourly forecast... We decided on taking the pictures at 9:30 and met Joycey at Neff Park in La Mirada. We had taken some pictures of Ashley here for senior pictures. I walked as much of the "tar paths" that were available with my walker and when it came to getting off the path, I used my cane. We brought a tall chair for some of the pictures and for my having a place to sit as time went on/or when it was just the kids. So we tromped through the park using many of the different and unique trees that you could sit in the crook of, because they have many trees that had numerous trunks that split at the bottom.. So there came a time when I was just done, having done quite a bit of walking through the hilly park. So Joycey headed off to take pictures of just the kids throughout different locations and trees in the park... She does an awesome job and had gotten a new camera recently, she has fun with it..

It's always nice to have your family together all spiffed up, the boys gel up there hair, shaved clean and in a polo shirt. They are certainly CUTE!

Whew, so now a day of rest as we watch the Little League Baseball World Series finals between Chinese Taipei and California (Chula Vista)
