Picture day

It's that time of year again for dance studio pictures. This is the 2nd year that we've done photos through Kristins dance class, and it's always such a pain in the rear. Last year we waited in 100 degree weather, and it was so disorganized........this year was no different.

Kristin doesn't seem to enjoy putting on makeup......

but she really does....

She seems so grown up now, but there's always these small things that remind me that she's still a little girl.

She really liked her fancy new outfit that she gets to wear for the Daddy/Daughter dance.

Sea World

We're in Southern California this weekend to attend the wedding of my good friend and fellow photographer Mieng Saetia. I'm really looking forward to it since I'll actually be able to enjoy a wedding as a guest rather than a photographer. While we were down here, Selina made arrangements to go visit Sea World in San Diego. The kids are always fans of aquatic life, but they especially love dolphins and killer whales.

Who wants to go to Sea World?

I don't know why, but the kids can never sit still to eat a meal. During breakfast, both kids are either under the table or standing while they eat. I don't get it.

I love seeing the smile on Kaylas face when she gets excited. Kristin is always a goofball.

The kids always have to have a souvenir. They both chose these huge stuffed animals. The killer whale is bigger than Kayla.

Happy Mothers Day

Roses

We have a few rose bushes out in front of our house and the kids love them. Unfortunately they seem to bloom and die rather quickly so I pruned a few and brought them in. After looking at this shot, I can't believe its almost as big as Kaylas head.

Feels like summer

Finally had a weekend off, and had gorgeous weather to boot! It was actually warm enough for the kids to go outside and get sprayed down. It's so awesome that something so simple as water can get kids giggling and laughing hysterically.

Kristin looks like a vampire now with both of her front teeth missing.

Tiger Woods

Recently heard at the dinner table.

"WHAT IS TIGER WOODS?" pause. "IS THAT A TIGER THAT LIVES IN THE WOODS?"
