OK...the summer is already flying by...so I decided to make a list of things that I want to accomplish this summer. No, not lists of cleaning and organizing, lists of what to do with the kids.  So here goes...I will be adding (and hopefully crossing off) ideas all the time.

Model Search

I entered the kids in Brandy Kemp Photography's Model Search 2011.  I really just did it to get some cute shots from Brandy (free 15 minute session), but also hoping to get some free etsy clothes and accessories for Madelyn.  If Madelyn wins, she could get to model for some etsy shops...then she gets to keep whatever she modeled.  It sure would help our checkbook because I sure do love all those cute etsy shops.  :)  Cooper had fun, but Madelyn loved it.  She minded Brandy so well.  She did exactly what she told her to do.  Here are the pics that Brandy posted on fb.
