One night while I was on hiatus, we let the kids ride their scooters to dinner. (Courtney Lee was with her mom and Ross was with Cali so we just had Annie & Coley.)
She kind of looks like a female version of Bret Michaels here. (Yikes, that guy creeps me out.)
We had mexican food.
And headed home in the dark.


Hellooooooo! She is way cuter than Bret Michaels! Love the ones of Annie on Josh's back! Have a great day!

This is why I am taking your class. I just want to be able to 'see' the picture like you do. Swooning here and drooling on my computer:) I hope I can learn to take a picture half as good as you. Beautiful as always. Does Josh ever get tired of you snapping away?

You are a great family. Seriously. I don't know many people that would do this. Kind of inspires me to do the same someday. Plus the pictures are great.

I sometimes wonder if Annie will wear rubber boots on her first date. She cracks me up. Thanks for sharing your children with us.
