    Wow! Happy Birthday Rain! Wish I had kids so they could hang out with her for just a little while to soak up some of that Rad-Rain-ness. Love that shot of her jumping that cliff!

    Have fun in Vegas!

    Who could ask for a better birthday present then parents who take a ton of photos, post them to the web so that the world can see how much fun we had on our birthday.

    Oh gosh, I love Rain. I love these photos and just how darn cute she is!!! Happy belated birthday!

    I just wanted to share what I commented on Sean's blog. It's too large to post on twitter.

    "The Baxters are such an amazing family and I love how you captured the love they share. Kimi - you look so fabulous and I am so glad that Sean captured some of your beauty, inside and out. David - LOVE the hat and outfit. April and Rain - definitely the cutest Baxters around. WOW! "

    You two are such amazing photographers, but even more amazing people. I am so honored to call you friend! You comment on all my blogs and even when I think I totally suck, you two always make me feel like I'm don't.

    love you guys!
