Awwww. There’s nothing more fun than kids in your bed, in the morning! I miss that now that my kids are all grown up! Hopefully my grandkids will live close enough to me, to sleep over and I can have kids in my bed again! Looks like a fun day!

LOL how can taking pictures of these gorgeous people be hard? Are they models? Seriously one good looking family I think even I could take a good photo of them (HAAAAAA HAAA HAA haaaa you’ve seen my photos- you know what I mean!). Anyway just let them know that I said they are pretty and that they had better get themselves a king sized bed.

I once spent a whole morning with a mom and her 4 kids…doing school work, playing outside, making and eating lunch. It was one of my favorite photo experiences. Since then I’ve never been able to convince someone to let me come and hang out for hours. Great shots.
