Colorado Springs (Quick-Trip TIPS!)

Let’s be totally honest…Matthew LOOKS for reasons to visit Colorado. Recently, although there were plenty of available cars nearby for him to choose from, the specific one he wanted just happened to be sitting in his favorite state. Hmmmm… With only a few days of summer remaining, I was not surprised, but OVER-THE-TOP-EXCITED when he...

My Favorite Spot

My favorite place to take photos of my kids is  where EVER they are playing! For us, that usually means the front yard! Rayna’s gotten some great deals at yard-sales, but this bow-and-arrow set is probably one of her favorite finds!   Rayna’s doing really well using my “big” camera! My shutter speed was WAY off...
