For the Love of Penguins | Blue Apple Studios

As many of you may already know my oldest daughter Kinley loves art. Since she was very young she has expressed a deep love and passion to be an artist when she grows up. Her dream now is two part, she still very much wants to be an artist but she also wants to work at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and take care of the Penguins. In case you missed her penguin birthday party you can check it out HERE.

This week I enrolled Kinley and Hadley in an art workshop at Blue Apple Studios in Santa Cruz. Blue Apple Studios came very highly recommended to me by several friends and I must say that it exceeded all of my expectations.  My girls were so thrilled and excited about their experience that they would honestly be happy to go everyday. If you have a child that loves art and you live in the Santa Cruz area I highly recommend Blue Apple Studios. The owner Cayce Ellison is wonderful with the children and provides such a great program.

Below are two of the Canvas’s that my girls painted this week.

Happy Birthday to my Dad

Today I am wishing my Dad a very happy birthday. I really just want to take a few minutes to brag about him. My Dad is such an amazing man. He has one of the kindest most loving hearts I have ever come to know. My dad would give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need, he is extremely generous.  My Dad is liked by all who know him. He is super funny and he makes people laugh all of the time, he is a real goof-ball!!

My Dad is the BEST grandpa, a.k.a BOMPA EVER!!!! His grandchildren love and adore him. He is so fun and playful.

POPS~

I Love you!!! You are the best Dad and Bompa ever. You are so loving and supportive and I am happy to call you my Dad and most of all my friend. Just writing this on my blog brings tears to my eyes because I love you so much!!!

XOXO

Aimee Pool Photography Blog | Sneak Peak

I have been tossing around the idea for a while now about creating a new blog that would be dedicated solely to my photography. I was not sure if I really wanted to have two blogs but after much thought on the issue I decided that it would be best to have a place for all things photography and another place for my family blog. I will still be posting about some of my photography here on Mommy Babble but my new blog www.AimeePoolPhoto.com will be where I will post all of my most recent photo sessions and photography related information.

My new blog is still a work in progress but you can take a sneak sneak.
