A few Announcments I have made in the past

My dear SIL sent me pictures she had taken. I had fun cropping and playing with the coloring.
It is so easy when the children are so cute.
And what a cute picture. Not much I had to do when I was already starting with such great pics. A friend of hers took the pictures and she did a great job.
This was one of my first. I left room on the right to put a ribbon once it was printed. I never did and I ended up cutting off the side. Hybrid announcements are so cute though.
Here was our x-mas card this last year. I had given up on getting a family picture taken
so this was my compromise.

School pictures 2007

Here our my kids school pictures I took yesterday. I just took the pictures in the kids back yard but I had a blast. I loved the one on one time I got while taking the pictures. The green looks so pretty in the pictures. I am looking for lots of opinions. I want to know which picture of each child I should pick to put on the wall. Please leave feedback!!!!

These first three just cracked me up. He was having so much fun and I was just snapping away. I don't plan on putting them up I just thought they were to cute.
This is one of my favorites! But I am not sure which coloring I like best?
And look at those eye. What a gem!

Mentally I had a hard time with Jared's pictures because he seems so grown up and big. I guess it still feels weird to me that I have a 9 year old.


I think that is why I liked this picture. He still looks little to me.In these two he looks so big. 4th grade was the year I finally started to become aware of the world beyond my front door. It is such a big milestone and I wonder if he is aware of what he is now entering into?

Emma did not really want her picture taken, she just wanted to play (when they weren't getting their picture taken they were doing school work. It was just to much for her to be outside and not be able to play.)


Sarah loves getting her picture taken and loves to pose. I only took a few of her because the ones I took turned out. She would position herself and smile great easy peasy lemon squeeze as my kids always say.

I was able to get a few of Joesph before he fell off the bench. He was crying and I asked him if he was scared or hurt and through his tears he said, "I scared" It was cute but then he was done picture taking.

School pictures 2007

I had so much fun taking pictures of my extended family today. I took school pictures for the home schooled kids plus siblings. It was nice to have fresh blood to take pictures of.


Here are my favorites of my niece Skylar.





Here are my favorite of my nephew Kai.



I ended up taking over 60 pictures of my niece Skylar. She was hilarious. When she didn't want her picture taken anymore she would turn away from me or give me a very grumpy face that I found very endearing.


How cute is this with her pretty red pig tails.





I love this one.



More of my nephew Kai









Since we had all the kids together we tried to get a family shot. Asher needed a nap so I am impressed we got these two.
This is my favorite.
