Ever wonder why there aren’t a lot of photos of G on this site?

She turns away most times I try to snap a picture!

Having a great time in San Diego! Had a moment this evening to edit the video I took of the kids at their dance recital at Dance Obispo’s summer camp in July…

First prize goes to the viewer who can actually identify G and Colin! Hint: G has a purple skirt on in the beginning and [...]

We walked to Rutiz Farm today and found sunflowers strewn all over the place (ones that weren’t perfect enough to sell). We have a beautiful one in front of our house, actually growing out from underneath the porch itself! I’ll have to take a photo of it to remember her by.

Here’s Colin getting some tips from a big kid (that’s Scott – a lead dancer).

Here they [...]

I bought fireworks for the kids today with the promise that they won’t be lit until Sunday. Lots of excitement!

Colin’s latest joke he’ll tell you if you see him…

Q: What do you get when you mix a duck with a firework?
A: A firequacker!

My brother-in-law, Anders, recommended this movie… it looks absolutely wonderful.
