So, since we hadn't had any family pictures taken since Michael came home from his mission, and we all knew that Michael and Megan were going to be getting married and Stephen going on a mission in 2013, I was determined to have some family pictures taken of just the 5 of us one last time! I enlisted my good friend Amy who lives accross the street to use her nice camera and take some pictures of us. She took over 200 shots and these were among my most favorites!
The men in my family
Stephen-"oh it's so cold so I need to look like I'm freezing because my picture is being taken and I cant ever make a normal face in a picture because I'm Stephen"
Mike - what the heck are we supposed to be doing in this picture? It's cold and I just want to go inside, but I must endure the cold for my wife who thinks she has to have these family pictures taken and
she's probably right"
Bryce - "I dont care how cold it is, I must look good and cute because my picture is being taken and my Mom thinks I am so good looking so I must please!"
Michael - "What the heck are you guys doing? No one is paying any attention to the camera
there is no rhyme or reason to this photo, and what the heck happened
to all of you while I was on my mission?"
The attempt at lifting Mom
Now this picture is one where we were trying to figure out what to do so the boys decided they wanted to lift me. Well, Michael was ready to just pick me up. Stephen took a second look and said "hmmmm, not sure I want to do this. Bryce is always willing to jump right in. Me however, I knew that it was going to be a disaster so I refused. I think Stephen was relieved.
And next, the infamous jumping in the air shot! They boys must have done this 5 times as they wanted to catch as much air as they could. I love Mike's face in this....not much expression...that's Mike, doesn't matter what he's doing, it's always just a skill.
The Infamous Dip
Okay, I love this one. What can I say? This is us. He's got me right where he wants me laughing uncontrollably!
The clowns
Okay seriously, this picture says it all. Do you see how Stephen is way up high making himself known to all the world? Well, that's the way it is at my house. Michael is just having a good time being cool and letting you know he's watching you. Bryce?
Whatever his big brothers are doing is cool so where they lead he will follow:)
And lastly I was astonished that we actually had this one good picture of the whole family come out. We actually all look pretty normal for the most part.
I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!
THERE IS NO WHERE ON EARTH I WOULD RATHER BE THAN WITH THEM!
