The other brother of Kylee, Bradley is all boy, loving baseball.  He has very impish eyes.  He always looks like he has a secret and somehow you want to know what it is.  He laughs easily and loves life.  He's fun-loving and happy.  I like him a lot.

I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile. Tom Clark

This is one of Kylee's brothers, Gavin.  He is a smart cookie.  I just heard that he was accepted into a really cool gifted and talented program where he got to spend time in the mountains of Colorado.  He's also an entrepreneur.  He makes and sells masking tape wallets.  I'm so impressed with him.  He's very nice, well mannered and a real cutie!  Oh, a couple more things....he plays baseball and is a great athlete.

Since I haven't posted any pictures for the last 2 days I thought I'd post 3 today to make up for it.  I think that I've decided to do that from now on if I skip any days.  I loved the photo shoot I did with 3 of my favorite children last year.  In the next few days I'll post the boys.  Today it's Kylee's turn.  She's a natural beauty with the most amazing eyes.  What a sweetie.

I just love California!

“Watch me at the window from your place on the couch, watch me pretending that I am really looking out. You say 'come here, I can't see you in this light,' but I'm much safer beside the moon tonight. 'Cause when I am a silhouette/ I have no fear, you”

I did this Photoshop piece for a video project in school.

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean.

I think this looks like the perfect spot on a perfect-like day.

This is a lamp post at the end of the Santa Monica Pier.  It was a perfect day without too many people on the pier that day.  

“Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs”
