Kristi James Photography

So for a while I have wanted to start my own photography business, but have never had time to actually do it. So the last few weeks I have been working on trying to get a portfolio ready and a website! I finally finished my website and I am quite pleased with myself and my work. I just need to advertise here in Okinawa. Hopefully business will boom. I am so excited for this. Next weekend I have my first photo shoot. Stay tuned to my website for new updates and to see the new photos.

Beach Fun

KAYLI & NELSON

So last weekend we spent the day at the beach. All of Camp McTureous had a power outage, so it was the perfect opportunity to do an all day trip. We went to Torii Station Beach. It has the large large water slide for the kids to go down. Our friends Nick, Shannon and Nelson came and Eddy, Shito, and Emma came also. We rented a pavillion with a grill, brought burgers and dogs. Nelson is only 4 months older than Kayli so they played together alot. Dallas, Nick and Eddy rented some Canoes and went out as far as they thought safe and snorkeled. They saw sea snakes, cucumbers, nemo's, and alot more that I can't remember at this moment. While the men did that Shannon and I stayed back with all the kids. We couldn't wait for the guys to get back so we could go snorkeling. Once they did get back..it was so late that we ended up taking the kids to the slide. Overall it was a wonderful day. I got burnt and poor Kayden got burnt on every little spot I didn't get sunscreen on. Next time he will me smothered in it LOL.

Dallas took the boys out on the Canoe. Kayden wasn't happy about it at first.

All the guys headed out on the Canoe

Mother's Day

Well on Saturday we woke up early and decided we should go to the beach. We were out the door by 8:30 and got to 'OURAWAN' beach by 9:00. It was so fun. We were practically the only ones at the beach and we loved it. It's kind of our own little private beach. Not many people come there, especially that early. After almost 7 years of marriage I finally convinced Dallas not to wear his shirt when he was swimming. He was always self conscious, but now he is new and improved. We played in the sand and Dallas took the kids in the water. Jesse loves to go swim in the water, but Kayden doesn't like it at all!! I tried to take Kayli in and she didn't like the waves at all. They are so tiny, but they still scared her. We had so much fun just playing in the sand. Dallas did a little exploring of some rocks that are a little ways out in the water. He found crabs and mussels all over them. He was very tempted to take some home. We love our seafood. Around lunch time we decided to head out. It was
a great day, other than Dallas got pretty burnt on his back. Sunday, Mother's Day, we got up a little later than the
day before and picked up Shannon and Nelson and headed to a beach we haven't gone to yet. Well, when we got there and up close, it was filled with the local bums and it was filled with seaweed. It was pretty gross, but we stayed anyway and just played in the sand. Dallas had fun throwing Shannon's dog, Yen, in the water. Yen didn't like it too much though. After the beach, we came home, showered, ate and crashed for 4 hours. It was a nice nap, but I didn't sleep till late that night. Guess that's what I get for actually taking a nap huh? Over all I had an amazing weekend!! On a different note, Kayli is starting to take some steps. Take a Look!!!!

Kayli's First Birthday

May 7, 2009, our little princess turned one!! I can't believe it. Time sure does fly when you are enjoying yourself. The day before her birthday I took some First year pics! It was fun while it lasted. She was tired and ornery, so not many of her smiling, but I think most of them turned out well. I had to use what I had for props and backgrounds. Thursday evening we invited friends over for cake and ice cream. It was pretty funny, our friend Nick just came back from Iraq a week ago and she didn't really remember him. He would even look at her and she would cry. After a while, she was looking for him and then fake crying once she saw his face. It was so funny. She didn't really care about opening her presents, but wanted to play with them once, we had unwrapped them. She got a lot of really great presents and was definitely spoiled by Aunt Shannon and Uncle Nick ( as we call them). She was so happy to have her little boyfriend Nelson there to play with. They are so dang cute together. He was comforting her and hugging her when she was sad. I just love that little guy! We have so many great friends that came and loved on Kayli! She LOVED her cake!! She was a little hesitant at first, but once she realized I wasn't going to take it from her she dove in. Needless to say she pretty much had cake everywhere in the kitchen!!!

My Kayli Poo

I just recorded a few videos of Kayli. I love her kisses, they are so cute! Enjoy!
