More pictures requested. :)

By popular demand, (with the grandparents) I am posting more pictures of the family.  :) 

Gampy came to visit.

The hours at the ballpark have made an impression.

Keep your eye on the ball Levi!  Nice shorts and boots Daddy.  ;)

Matt got the boys belt-making kits.  I had no idea there was such a thing.  So they now each have  a belt that Matt claims will last them through high school.  Matt has had his current leather belt for 13-14 years!

Asher chose a grey color for his belt.

We were blessed with several days of rain which turned our yard into a mud pit.  Jolie lead the pack into a mud fight.

Crazy kids!

Zaddy was a policeman for career day.  He looked very handsome! 
We had a sweet officer friend lend us a hat!

And finally, Miss Micah!  Someone help the poor child.  Nobody is feeding her.

Not sure where the double chin came from.  :)

And at last...Levi!

Levi and I did not have a special picture date.  We have a special date everyday when the kids go to school!  So I have not yet has a photo "session" with him.  But here are some of the pics that we took this week that I might like just as much.

The sun is a bit bright but his sweet smile makes me melt.

This?  This is real life.  He looks like this 90% of the time.  There are many siblings to boss.

LOVE.

Poor little orphan.  Look how dirty he is! 

Awwwww.  But he's so sweet!

This is what you get when you let a water gun and a trampoline do your hair for pictures.

Funny boy!  I don't think I could do a better session with my two-year-old.  This is all him!  Dirt, water guns and grins.  I am a happy mama.  Pretty soon I will be able to post pictures of our new girl!

Jolie's turn!

So my sweet daughter and I got to have our photo date this morning.  It was a perfect overcast morning and she, a very willing subject, did great!

Awwww, my baby girl.

This is the look she gives her brothers.  :)

Gotta jump! 



Asher is a natural.

It was Asher's turn this morning.  He really did a great job and was comfortable with the camera!  I have such a sweet and loving boy.

Mr. Cool

Awwww.

Here comes the crazy!

They must get it from somewhere.  (Daddy!)

Hee hee hee.  :)



He did take some sweet ones...

Zaddok and I had at photo date this morning.  We had so much fun and got some sweet shots.  He is such a silly and happy boy.  I am blessed to be his mommy.

Precious face.

Oh those eyes!

He was getting tired of smiling here.  :)

Maniacal laughter?  Yep, that's Zaddy.

We can't be serious all of the time!

You are such a joy you crazy little man!

Thanksgiving=tons of pictures

I realize that this blog has way more pictures than anyone really wants to scroll through.  But in the interest of fairness, even if I only showed one picture of each family member, there would still be 18 pictures.  We like to roll big.  So, if you can hang, here they are.

I guess we have more than one "Face" in the family.

Levi fancied this helmet all weekend.

Aunt Sara and Miss Emma

Uncle Galen blessed our meal.

The babies. (Who are actually 3 and 2 but may always be called "The babies.")

Nap time.  This may or may not have been faked.

Kyle entertained us all with his mouse maze.  It is a darn impressive science experiment.

Uncle Brad looks a bit scary in this picture but the children were full of joy as he threw them around the living room.

Pile O' boys.

Stack O' girls.

Cousin love.

Grandmolly brought the supplies to make ornaments with the kids.  Here she is giving Cody expert advice.

This is one of her favorite things.  ART!

Asher and Addison look impressed with Emma's creation.

I love this.  Loud, crazy and full of love.  (And strange smells.  Lots of them.  I do not love that.)

Addison's ornament.

Uncle Brad and Kyle had a jam session.  Of course Sara, Amanda and I had to kill it with some sweet harmonies.  You've never heard Jingle Bells until you have heard our version.

Can you see the smoke coming out of Matt's ears?  It turns out that kids don't give the best hints in a game of 20 questions.  This is a version of that game called Headbands.  It's a family favorite.




All around it was a wonderful weekend.  We have a great family full of cousins who love to spend time together.  Lots to be thankful for.  Praying your Thanksgiving was blessed!
