Family Pictures 2008
















Family Pictures 2008


So we finally got family pictures. I absolutely dread this day all year long. I'm so picky that it makes it a miserable thing. We found a new amazing photographer who has only been doing photography for 6 months (thanks Karie). Her name is Ashley Mae McKnight and she does fabulous work. Check her out at AshleyMaePhotography.blogspot.com. Notice how we don't match. I'm planning on doing all of the ones of us together in sepia or black and white. I love that look. Here are a few of my favorites.

HALLOWEEN!!!

So I decided to try and be a fun mom for Halloween and dress up. Thanks to Mindy Neal telling me about Karalee Greene's darling clown costume I was able to pull it off at the last second. It actually was a lot of fun!! Look how freaky my dad looks.
Irelynd was determined she wanted to be a cute witch. Well, I tried it and she hated all of the face paint so this is as good as it gets. Kyn's a cute little frog Hu?
