Cute kids/ family photos 2.0

So I wanted to get a few more pictures posted before I am not in the mood anymore. These are so much fun! Thanks again to Jayna for doing a great job. I also have to give a shout out to Jake. He really despises doing family pictures...but these last few years he has had such a good attitude about the whole process. We have a rule that I don't talk to him or analyze what we are wearing or anything. I just tell him what day it is and what to wear. He was totally in a good mood and even bribed the kids with Quicktrip if they were good. My kids seem to like being in front of a camera and we just enjoy this time together! I love my family so much and it isn't really the picture that matters...it is who's in it!!! These people mean the most to me and I LOVE each and every one of them.
Aubrey and I love to LAUGH and do it really loud. We had lots of fun getting some shots together.

Our kids planned this shot.



This melts my heart.  A daddy's girl through and through.
 

  One last family picture.

Jake knows how to make me LAUGH and I know how to make him crack a smile!


Aubrey is now growing up to be a beautiful lady. She has changed so much this year.



I told Weston if he was good for family pictures...he could do whatever he wanted when it was individual time. He is a ham, and we wouldn't change a thing.

Spencer had such a cheezy smile. It really was so sweet to see him when it was his turn to shine. He is serious and sweet and handsome. Love this boy!


 
Lucy's turn!!! She steals the show wherever she goes. Lucy is just adorable...what can I say. There are 30 more cute pics of her...so I just chose a few.



I felt a little silly asking for a few shots of just me. I have just wanted a cute profile pic for a while...so why not?! I also wanted a memory of my long hair before I chop it all off.


My kids kept asking for more photos. Here's a few more of their modeling. Hehe

Family Pics 2014

It is family picture time! And if you know me you know that  I love them beyond normalcy and always get a little obsessive about the whole thing.  This year was no different...but I love doing it. I seriously look forward to buying a few things, and getting ready and of course the RESULT.  Jayna Hedges Photography did them this year. Jayna is a dear friend from when we lived in Maricopa years ago. In fact, it was before she had 4 kiddos. She did a great job too. She ended up sending me all the useable photos and it was OVER 200 pictures. How is a girl to choose which ones to show her friends and keep forever in her blog book? I decided to do a few at a time. Here is the first batch. I edited a few of them just for kicks...so if you don't like that...Jayna didn't do it, blame me! Enjoy and be prepared for WAY more than anyone actually needs to see. Sorry but not sorry!!
