Golden Anniversary

We were so glad to be able to help celebrate Uncle Tom and Auntie Alice’s 50th wedding anniversary this past Saturday. They’re the warmest, kindest couple. Always so sweet and so funny! What an inspiration they are to me and David.

Their beautiful children…

and family and friends from several states gathered to celebrate

Child phenom, Matthew, put together a movie — complete with wedding day photos and interviews– that had everyone crying and laughing at the same time.

Look, I come by my” paparazzi-ness” honestly. Or at least, I married into it! :)

After lunch was pool time…

Since we were in Hollywood, there was also an acting workshop. I think Andrew & Jackie were “being trees” here…

or maybe they were playing basketball! ;)

Keilah chilling out…

and i think this chocolate fountain might have been the reason why this morning, Kealoha came up to me and asked, “Mommy, how come you look chubby today?” Oy! Don’t you love kids? They don’t pull any punches! Time to go walking again tomorrow, methinks.

gorgeous pics nely! i love number 11, though i gotta say my favorite is the one of the chocolate fountain and the strawberries. if only for the sole reason that chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite part about weddings ( no lie, i’m addicted to those things :] )

wow, i love your eye. where did they get those leis? they are gorgeous. i usually make a lei or two in the summer , but my plumerias didn’t flower this year due to that cold icky winter.

Love these! You got some amazing pp (sorry, had to go with the trend) shots!
You gotta love kids and what they say :) Maybe we should go walking together :)

thanks, guys! You are all much too nice to me!

Kim, the leis were brought in by family from Hawaii.

April, I don’t like strawberries. But chocolate, I love!

Melissa, we should go walking one day!

Oh, and you are all cracking me up with the pp! Most of the pics only have one curves adjustment layer!

Hi Nely, I just found your blog from Ohana Photography and I just wanted to tell you I LOVE your blog. Your images are beautiful but I am especially drawn to your stories about your beautiful children which I find quite entertaining and your stories about faith which are encouraging. God Bless.
