Family Pictures

Life has been moving by so quickly I hardly have time to do anything. So last Sunday since it was Stake Conference I made the huge effort to get everyone dressed up to take some family pictures. I know the rest of you probably just go to the local JC Penny or Sears and get yours done, but that just doesn't work for us out here. We have to get creative. Thank goodness for digital cameras! Getting Darrell to town is one thing, but for a family photo is unheard of. So we have his sister Jennifer do it. I spent all morning getting the three girls ready and in outfits they looked good together in. I made them matching hair pins and then spent a little time on myself trying to find any shirt that would actually fit. Let me tell you this whole big boob breast feeding thing is not all it is cracked up to be. Over half my shirts don't fit! And the ones that do I swear I look fat in. (we have both decided going on a diet is a must!) Anyhow so here are the best ones we came up with. It was hot and the girls all were done after only 20 minutes.

Lilly's Blessing

So we blessed our littlest little girl this past Sunday here in Grand View. I think I say this to Darrell every time that I just don't realize how many priesthood holders are in our families until they all get up to bless the baby like a huge wave of people. And to top it off my littlest brother Bo was able to join the circle this time. After wards we all came back to our home and had lunch. We may have a smaller home, but it sure makes up for things with such a huge yard! I thought it was quite enjoyable especially since most of the 10 kids that were there stayed outside. That left us adults the opportunity to talk and enjoy on another.
