Friday Thoughts---family pictures

We had family pictures taken in August along with Miss A's senior pictures which I will try to share next week.  We LOVED them!  A sweet sister missionary that served in our area about 2 years ago came back to visit us and took them for us.  She is amazing!  Love you Jenna!  Loved how they turned out.  Take a look. . .

Lots of fun!  Sure love my family!  Have a great weekend!

2013 Daily December 10--family pictures

I am a firm believer in getting family pictures taken each year.  This year we have sister missionaries serving in our area from our church.  One of them mentioned that she is a photographer.  I was so excited!  I asked if she would be willing to take our family pictures, and she graciously agreed.  I think she did a wonderful job!  We took them in a big field just down from our house.  Take a look. . .

And they all lived happily ever after.  The end :)

Daily December 13--family pictures

Getting family pictures taken is one of the most stressful things, I think.  Ugh. . .first trying to find a time to schedule it, then figuring out what everyone will wear because no one ever likes what Mom picks out, but too bad.  Mom and Dad pay for them so you wear what they say :)  Getting hair done, and tough if you don't like it curled, but I am paying for it, so your hair is being curled.  Lots of love going around before family pictures.  It makes me laugh.  Yeah, we try to look happy after all the fighting before to get the silly things done.

and then how hard is it to actually look at the camera and smile?

have a normal face????

So you hope after all the blood, sweat, fighting, and tears you have at least one out of the hundreds they took that looks good.

Man, if you only knew the real story behind the picture. . .

Family pictures--got to love them.  At least they are done, and you don't have to do them again for another year.
