Family Photo

As promised, a family photo!

We had a family photo shoot at a local park today. We were just going to do it ourselves with the timer on our camera but then our friend volunteered to come take them for us. I'm so glad he did. Thank you, Thank you ,Rod! They turned out great!

It really helped that everyone was in a pretty good mood and we also bribed them so we got some nice pictures. Really, I'm willing to do what ever it takes to get them to look at the camera and smile.

Thanks again Rod!

Katee said...: I love the pictures. What a great idea to take them at the park. I worked out perfectly expecially that bribe thing. I wish people would bribe me for the things they want me to. We work for food! I'm excited that Jen and Debbie responded to the blogspot. I hope it takes off and people will use it.; November 26, 2007 at 11:18 PM

things we never thought we"d say.....but we have!

Pickles are nature's way of saying, "Enjoy a cucumber this winter."
The science fair is not called "The Evil Science Fair" for a reason. We really should avoid blowing things up. That means no dry-ice bombs even if you claim to be doing research on greenhouse gases.

I wish there were dogs in sacrament meeting. Then maybe R- would hold still on my lap and be quiet. (She's terrified of dogs.)

Thoughts I live by

Don't take yourself too seriously.
Never participate in chain letters.
Don't worry about what others think about you because they're probably too busy thinking about themselves and worrying what others think of them to worry about you.
What you lack in talent can be made up for with determination and hard work.
Surround yourself with people and things that make you smile.
Find something you love to do and do it.
Find someone you love to love and tell them.
Take time to read a good book.
Dance whenever you can.
Elephants are always a good idea.
