Candice, my sister-in-law, and I took D and Alyssa Kate to the Big Dam Bridge a few weeks ago. I got some really cute pictures. Something about this one is just amazing to me. I don't know why.

She just looks so grown up in this picture.

This was on the beach next to Santa Monica Pier in 2005. It was pretty cold.

Jack and Alyssa Kate talking to each other. Love it!

This is what happens when you try to spell out "27" in candles and put them a little too close together. It was obviously very funny.

This was just a few days after we got him. So cute!

He looks like one of those big nosed dogs on cards.

This is hilarious to me!

I think was one of the first times they really met and spend time together.

Carving the thanksgiving turkey a few years ago.

Look at that vertical! Alyssa Kate is amazed!

I think this one has been on here before but it is SO worthy of being up again. Our neighbor kid called me over one day when I stepped outside... "Hey! Ashley! My frog likes cereal!" I was laughing for HOURS!

When my friend Sarah got married I became the unofficial photographer of everything. This is one of my favorite pictures I took.
