Our Idea of School Picture Day !


Haylee and I decided that we were NOT going to buy school pictures anymore. Every time I order them we are disappointed with something about the pictures. Either the lighting or the pose is horrible. If your going to pay the money for that they are asking for they better be professional. So we decided that we would treat "School Picture Day" a little different. We got up early, got all fancy, with a new outfit, curly hair, lip gloss and went out side and did our own picture day before school started. This was allot of fun. She still had the excitement with all the other kids taking pictures at school but with out the cost. She was still able to take her pictures at school so that she can be in the year book and class picture except we just didn't buy them. This way we have perfect custom pictures. For those of you who don't know this. Haylee can not stand when I fix her hair. It is a battle that I can never win. She has a certain style that she likes to wear and it usually looks close to a plate of spegetti. I choose my morning battles with her. However, this day was fun for me. It has been along time since I was able to fix her the way I want her to look. SHE LET ME, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. Now, Emalee and Ashlee's school picture day came and went. They didn't tell me or show me any information about picture day. So who knows what they looked like that morning. Another reason why I don't buy school pictures. (darn them girls)

Gotta Love these Cousins!




A Couple of Sunday's ago we all decided to go to church together in my Sister Carla's ward. Otis and Jason, my brother in laws sang a song in sacrament together so we went along for the support. We met at my sister Allison's before leaving for church and snapped a few pictures of the cousins before church. They all looked so cute and clean.







Family, one thing I try to impress on my girls is that Family is so important. You will always have your family to support you and be there when you need them. Here is just a few of the cousins. There are actually 18 couisns on my side alone. What a blessing it is to have each one of them in our lives.
