Hello!!!!!! I Am Alive!

Yes. Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated! I have not changed my blog in over a year. Life is pretty much the same-school, car pool, seminary, laundry, church, fighting (the kids), crying (me), cooking, cleaning, birthdays, etc.... We did a neat photo session with one of my dearest friends, Erin. She took us out and we came up with a nice Christmas card picture, here:

However, some of my favorite ones were nontraditional poses. I'm thinking of blowing this one up really big (except that might bad news for my bum). What do you think? Isn't it adorable how Jackson is staring up at his dad?

Last Minute Christmas Photo

We didn't get a great picture at Thanksgiving, so I made the family take a picture on Saturday. We didn't coordinate anything, but at least everyone was clean! I turned it black and white to disguise the mismatches. The funniest part is that we just need someone to take the picture, so I called and had a 12 year old neighbor boy come and push the button. He had on his coat and a ski mask the entire time!? At least he wasn't shocked by all the screaming, yelling, and pulling that went on during the fantastic photo session (and that was just Matt!). Whatever. At least we have it done!!! Here are a few of the outtakes. Don't you wish you were there?
