Family Pictures 2010

Oh, the joys of the annual family picture photo shoot. Can anything be more frustrating than trying to get a three year old boy to stand still, look at the camera and smile? Thanks to Grandma for shooting the pictures and Grandpa for providing the entertainment. We went up to Main Street in Park City where it was so fun looking at all the fun places to take pictures. Grace loves having her picture taken, so she was the easiest. The boys are good with once a year. Even the big boy :) These are all pre-photoshop, so the weeds and out of place hairs will need to be fixed, but I wanted to get opinions before I make up prints, so let me know what ya think.

Christmas in August...or back to school

It's the most wonderful time of the year (for Mom's anyway). The kids went back to school with their crisp, white shirts, new bags, and clean lunch boxes. Grace is in 3rd grade and loves seeing all her school friends she missed over the summer. Cade is officially "too cool" for me now that he goes to school all day. He especially likes the corn dogs and mac 'n cheese for hot lunch. Even Grant started preschool two days a week with three of his buddies. So, I have six hours a week without kiddies around. I've been spending my time wisely, going to lunch and shopping :)

Grant is 2!!!

Grant-man turned 2 on June 25. We thought it would be fun to have a waterslide in the backyard, so our neighbors generously let us borrow theirs, but Grant didn't want to go near it. All the other kids had fun on it. Grant loved the presents and the cake. I have learned that a two-year old is content with the first present they open. You shouldn't try to get them anything else because they only want to play with that first one. Grant-man is so much fun! We can finally understand most of what he says and he loves to sing.
