Photo, Shoot!

So Steve Watson bravely volunteered to take some pictures of our family. He's got all kinds of great photo equipment and I guess he needs practice. (although for our group I think a megaphone, a sheep dog, a whip, and maybe some tranquilizer darts would've come in handy)

I think it's awesome that even Pete was making a weird face. And notice Jeff's snaggle teeth? His two front teeth are (finally) loose!

We shaped up a little and were a bit more presentable. . .

Then the kids attacked Ryan while I was feeding the baby. . .

Then Ryan got a picture with the girls, that little session was interesting. Tessa was miserable, Alana wouldn't stay still and Leah kept giving people bunny ears.

They got a little better. . .


Then the girls went off to play with Brighton and the boys and it was just me and my sweet boys. That was a lovely picture taking experience, my darling boys were ever so nice and photogenic!


Then we let all the kids go play and Ryan and I got to cuddle on camera.


Today is Ryan's 30th Birthday, yes, he was born on the 4th of July. He is such a wonderful husband and father and we love him so much! I'm glad he is finally 30 just like me :)

Such a lovely family! I think the silly pic should be included with your Christmas letter this year. Hey Al - when are you going to grow up? Seriously, you look like a teenager still! I'm so jealous!

Hmmm tranquilizer darts... not a bad idea. You have the funniest way with words. Had me laughing out loud.

Oh man! I thought 24 was old! 30! Wow! That is really really really old. Actually 30 doesn't seems very old at all.

I love the family pictures. They are great. Good job Steve.

I am glad to see Ryan is actually aging. You know now that you are in your thirties. Your really not so young!

Pictures are awesome!!!
