Picture Day

 We haven't done any real pictures in awhile so we got everyone dressed and headed to Logan to meet Makala and Jake at the park for some pictures and fun.

We didn't worry too much about hair or getting fancy or we never would have gotten out the door. This is Elizabeth in her normal state of wild hair. She doesn't leave her "pretties" or hair things in very often. She enjoys the natural, wind blown look.

 Andrew and those big brown eyes. All seven of our children have shades of dark or light brown eyes from Dad.

 Rebecca is in 3rd grade. She is doing well and loves her teacher. She is full of energy and loves to make up stories. 

Hanna is now in the Junior High as a 6th Grader. It is a little different running from class to class and having a locker, but she is managing well.

 Jospeh, Jospeh, Joseph. Currantly the most uncooperative for pictures, he has an infectious grin when we see it. He is in 8th grade and looking forward to high school next year.

 It is hard to believe that Caleb is a Senior this year! He is learning new talents and surviving school. We cannot wait for graduation!

Makala was our photographer for most of the pictures. She and Jake are doing well and looking forward to the birth of their first son in December.

Makala and Hanna, and baby bump makes three.

That brings us to the mom and dad, Amiane and Daniel. We are busy keeping up with everyone else. We also look forward to the birth of another daughter in March.

 Daniel is using the excuse of hunting season and the cooler weather to grow a truly "amazing" beard. It is now the elk season and he is hoping to find the rascally elk and bag one.

 This is as good as it gets. Everyone in the same spot, and most of them smiling!

Now some random fun shots:

Trying to keep up with the subject.

Showing off the new card tricks.

Jake and Caleb

 Hanna and Joseph are taking ball room dance this year for the first time. Here, Jake is showing them some new moves.

 Rebecca makes a light weight partner for Joseph to practice with. 

Rebecca and Elizabeth enjoying the swings.

In the mood for pictures, Andrew made lots of different poses and faces.

 None of our children are lacking in personality. Andrew keeps us smiling with this funny faces.

An absolutely gorgeous fall day just made to enjoy!

Trying to get everyone in position for a group shot.

Of course Caleb is smiling, he has his brother in a choke hold!

 Still missing a few . . .

 That's everyone . . .Wait! Where is Andrew? He snuck off to play. Someone go round him up!

Watching the pond and the fish jumping.

Looks like we have had enough. Time to head to Jake and Makala's apartment for some Pizza and more visiting.
