Family Pictures

So my family has never had the best of luck when it comes to family pictures. There was the blush incident, the kneeling in dresses incident, countless color mishaps (dark shirts + black background = floating heads), and most recently the grapefruit incident. Although the grapefruit holder cannot really be blamed for that one. We gave up trying for a decent family picture for years but it seems like that could all be behind us thanks to my awesome brother! Here are some of my favorites that he took last month. Thanks BK!!




















Although it was outside in August all the kids behaved pretty well under the threat of no Chucky Cheese after if they didn't smile and hold still for the pictures. Although some of the adults probably would have been as disappointed as the kids if we didn't go. We have some addictive personalities in my family. We joke that if we didn't have the church half of us would be alcoholics spending our whole paychecks at the casino. Instead we try and find some less damaging pastimes to get our fix in. One of these is the "Wheel of Fortune" game. It is so addicting! We all gather around the game (too bad if anyone else wants to play while we are there) and pretty much make a scene. This year Gage and Drey joined in with us (looks like the gene has been passed on) and Drey set a record I'm pretty sure will never be broken- three Wheels of Fortune...in a ROW! Good times.

Nice pictures. BK does great work. Were they on their way up to Utah for their new job? It is nice that you got everyone. . .that is tough to do as the family grows. With Kim and Austin living in the valley we just "might" be able to pull it off on one of Troy & Heidi's jaunts down this way. . .I'm not holding my breath.
I visited with Erin at a party last night. She really enjoyed the whole concert experience with you, Stacy. She works in one of Eric's offices. She is a cute girl.
She should come hang with us next weekend for a while. See you then
