Yeah Madelynn took a mean picture of my nose-cheek-part of my mouth yesterday....and I *was* in Santa Rosa :lol haha!

[MamaLaura]

Why aren't you adults entering? I only see talk of your kiddos entering.

[Sara]

I think because Brooke and Becky are professional photogs and this is an amateur contest :)

[MamaLaura]

But Seasyn and Susan...

[surmick]

Good point Laura, i think i will take a picture of my street. I think it is pretty cool.

[MamaLaura]

I just think it'd be cool to see entries from SCM moms AND kids.

[surmick]

Are you going to send in a picture?

[MamaLaura]

Maybe. But with that black thing on my pictures, I'd have to make sure it didn't show up, or crop it out.

[TaivensMama]

I will probably enter :) I have a ton of my kids in SR, but I can always take more hehe (oooh and place to take your kids, I can always send a Mygym pic!)

Why aren't you adults entering? I only see talk of your kiddos entering.

I think because Brooke and Becky are professional photogs and this is an amateur contest :):yeah though I would love to enter.

I think I may ask DH if he wants to enter. I'm sure between Dh and Kayla they would love a chance to play with my camera if i let them :giggle

I think it would be interesting to see what Myah and Shelsea would come up with too
