Our First Ever Professional Family Photo

We have a wonderful friend who offered to take our picture in trade for some piano lessons. I am pretty sure that we got the lucky end of the deal. She is so awesome.

You can't see it, but we must have been sitting on a den of gnats during this picture. They were biting us everywhere. We had to hold still, promise not to move, and look like we were having fun. Ahhhh! I think poor little Emma ended up with several bites on her little head.

The location of our picture was at the Ezra T. Benson Grist Mill that is right across the road from our house. It is a great place with lots of pioneer heritage wrapped in it. We love it. During the summer they have activities there every month.

We are having our kids practice on the hand cart just in case! I think I will sit in the handcart and sip lemonade while they practice next time.


This is our precious Emma -"Emma Bean" as I call her. She is now 8 months and loves to be vertical. She stands next to everything she can. She doesn't crawl yet, but she knows how to propel herself forward using her hands and feet- no knees- just hands and feet. Looks painful to me!



This is our Ana. She is princess through and through. She loves lips, nails, dresses, and high heals. If she had her way her mom would wear a dress and fancy shoes everyday. She does love to play and fight with her brothers still.
Daniel just finished kindergarten. He loved is and is a wiz
at writing. He loves to pretend and dress up Star Wars,
Super Heroes, and Ammon. He can keep he and his sister
busy pretending for hours.
Samuel just finished 1st
grade He is great reading &
spelling. I have to ask him
for help spelling words.
Sam loves his friends and
loves to try new things.
He's hungry to "know.
This is a closer picture of the one above. Now look what I've done. It is 11:45 and I am not in bed. This blogging things could be hazardous to my health.
