It’s been awhile since I posted up a happy Friday Video! My apologies, but it’s been quite busy lately!

Here’s a video for you today! Each weekend worship service was taped by Ryan and my cousin Fred, a birthday greeting to our beloved Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo who will be celebrating his birthday.

Have a happy friday everyone! :o)

Here is a photo taken by Natasha after our team had set up the GEM Multimedia Gallery last night. Most of us got home around 2AM but it was soo much fun, Ryan and I didn’t feel tired until we actually hit the sack!  Thank you Natasha for documenting last night’s set up! Yay Team!!! Praise be unto our Father in heaven!!!!

Sometimes when I really don’t expect it, God sends me blessings that reminds me He is still with me and my family… To Him, I am forever grateful!

Just a simple reminder to always be thankful for the simple joys in life…

Here is a teaser photo for my friends, Lauralee and Steve. Just a simple picture of their bundle of joy.

It’s late… I know… but at least it’s finally up! Photo’s from our trip to Washington D.C. last August are finally posted!  AND we even have a slideshow because there were just too many photos and I don’t have enough time to post them up individually… :o)

Ryan and I had a GREAT time in D.C.!  I think one of the most exciting time was when we actually got to tour the White House! It was sooo awesome!  One of the Secret Service guys complimented Ryan on his barong tagalog hahah :) That was classic!

I love going on trips with Ryan! Especially to places that we have never been to together! It’s fun experiencing different things, like taking the train and buses and figuring out where they go so we can go to our next destination…

Okay – enough of this blabbing! Here are the photos! But to view more pictures from our slideshow, please CLICK HERE.

We stayed at the Willard Hotel.

We visited the Air & Space Museum :) One of my favorite museums!

Ryan was so happy to see his name on one of the planes.. :P

Touching the tip of the Washington Monument! We have a photo like this of the Empire State Building hahah

The Capitol.

In front of the National Archives ;)

The Constitution of the United States! COOOLNESS!

The closest we got to meeting the President of the United States. President Obama :)

Off to our bike tour! This is a TOTAL MUST DO – We biked the monument sites at night!  Perfect during a hot summer’s night!

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and the Washington Monument in the background.

Ryan’s shot from the Lincoln Memorial of the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument – That’s where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood during the “I Have A Dream” speech!

One of my favorite memorials that we toured. I could have stayed there ALL NIGHT! It is so beautiful there!

Ryan with Abraham Lincoln. :)

Whoever said Facebook (FB) was a waste of time is wrong!  It was through FB that I got a message from Jen asking if I had time to take some family portraits for her family…. uhhh…  Totally! Even though it’s been a crazy busy year.. I would have made time for them no matter what!! They are such a beautiful family, I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to photograph them!

Ryan and I drove to Montclair to meet up with the Veneracion and Galang family last Sunday afternoon at their home. They decided that Downtown Claremont would be the perfect place for their portraits! They were right! I love getting suggestions where to take photos! Now I have another favorite location spot!

Here are some of my favorite photos from that day! To view more please click here to view the slideshow!

Beautiful Family: Jen and Ram and baby Mia.

Jen’s sister Jackie with baby Leilah. 

Mia and Leilah are so beautiful! Just like their mommies :o)

I know I do this shot ALL THE TIME, but it’s my favorite “must-squish-baby-face-with-kisses pose” during family portraits!

Smiling Leilah :o)

Mia was just having so much fun! I don’t know what Jen and Ram were doing, but it must have been really funny!

With grandma :o)

I just had to post one of these photos up from today’s photo shoot.  These girls are so adorable! More to come!

Erica and Dexter: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spend time with your family! You have two beautiful boys! I hope you enjoy these photos of your family and we’ll see each other soon :)
