Family Pictures

We had our family pictures done recently (before Chantz left on his mission) by our friend, Amy Fraughton. She did an incredible job! I couldn't believe they turned out as well as they did with all nine of us looking ok! What an accomplishment!

She took lots of fun shots that I never would have thought to do.

What a cute bunch--(if I do say so myself!)

I love this one of the men in the family (I'm even including you Clay)

Girls, Girls and more girls (I'm including myself in that title!)

~Four best friends~

~Best brothers~

~The youngest~

The three "beloved" as my teenagers refer to them and yes they are!

I love this picture!

We are so lucky to have such wonderful kids--I hate when things have to change and with Chantz leaving on a mission --I know this is the beginning of many changes.

Legal Adult (last April)
