Family Photos

We decided to try to take our own family photos the other day. I think they turned out pretty good. We just walked down the lane from our house . My dad helped and took the family ones and Casey or I took the ones of the kids.
I decided that taking pictures with two young children is a bit challenging. We had a lot of "almost" good pics.

I also thought this would be a good time to get some info journaled on each of us.

As a side note, I am offically a member of the Morman mom club.... I got a minivan!! Before you laugh, you need to drive one. With small children they are FABULOUS! I can hit a button to open or shut the doors, has a power lift gate, and it beeps at me if I am backing up and get too close to anything! Isn't that great?!?! Plus, my kids are now a bit spoiled and have a DVD player. I don't use it around town but for trips it will be nice. As you can see Casey is just thrilled. We actually went shopping for an older truck for him and we came home with a van. I am spoiled. Or maybe loved. Probably spoiled.


Isn't it pretty? :)
