Family Pictures 2009

Yesterday we went to Portrait Innovations yet again to get our family picture taken, as well as photos of each of the kids. They turned out alright.

This is the family picture we ended up choosing. We think it is cute that both of the kids have their hands rested on our hands.

This is the picture we chose of Ashlyn.

We bought this sibling picture in sepia to hang in their bedroom.

This was our favorite picture of the whole session, the one we chose of Carter.

Here are some other sample pictures that we took with us on the CD, but we can't make copies or anything.

This was a toss up for our family picture of choice. Looking at it now, I kind of wish we chose it.

"What are you crazy people doing?"

An Afternoon at Nelsons Grove

Friday we went with Diana and her kids to nearby Nelsons Grove. She recently bought a new camera and she was trying it out.

The next 5 pictures are ones she took of my kids.

Yes, I know Ashlyn needs her bangs cut. We're trying to grow them out, but she doesn't always keep the clips in her hair.

Ashlyn pretty much chooses what she is going to wear every day, so ... yeah.

Rock climbing

Carter climbed into the fountain (it wasn't turned on) and ended up getting himself soaking wet. We had to take off all his clothes and his diaper and I didn't have an extra diaper. So, he got to wear a spare pair of Ashlyn's panties. It was special. Ashlyn thought it was hilarious.

Here's a picture of the kind of things the kids do during the day.

Conference Weekend Traditions

I think we may have come up with some new Conference Weekend traditions. For example, we might make a habit out of mixing up a big batch of fresh salsa with some of the last of our garden's tomatoes.

Ashlyn helped me de-stem lots of cilantro. She even got creative with the stems.

I love it!

Also, I think Conference Weekend we'll try out our Halloween costumes for the year. Here's a sneak peek:
