Family Photos, and New Facebook Members

We took advantage of having everybody together last week, and took some family pictures.  We had 17 people we needed to get into the picture, so it took some time.  But we got it done, and it was a blast!

Here's Eric photo-bombing. He was trying to be helpful while I was testing the light.

Mom was video taping the chaos.

 We had several shots that we had to take, and Eric and Andrew decided they could be funny in a few of them.  We were all in front of them, so nobody noticed this until we unloaded the pictures. I still don't know if they planned it, or if they both just decided to be weird at the same time.

 We did have a couple that turned out pretty good.


We also took some of just Lindsey's family.



 And we messed around while nothing was happening.

I grabbed Eric's ipad and signed him up for facebook. I didn't really give him a choice. All our friends and family on fb keep asking about him, and I wanted him to join in on the fun. It took us awhile to explain everything to him, but I think he's got it. Now I don't know how I'm going to force him to check it every once in awhile.


We also got Mom on there, too. She'll be better at checking it than Eric. But I'll figure out some way to get him on there regularly. It might involve shock therapy.

Park with the Cousins

We just had a really fun week with the Utah cousins in town, plus -- Uncle Eric was here! On one of the nights, we went out to our favorite park. We played at the castle for quite awhile, until the wind picked up and the kids wanted to go home.

Grace and Emma are besties, and absolutely love it when they get to play together.  They had lots and lots of sleepovers this week.

Zach isn't afraid of Matthew anymore, and they even had a sleepover this week, too!

The big boys always love playing together.  We didn't even hardly see them at all, because they were just too busy.
