New..but old Family Pictures

Dragging my family up to Dry Fork Canyon to get family pictures is not always easy. With a family of 7, someone is always in a cranky mood. Most of the time it is me....or Camcam. Some how we had a miracle that day. It went good and I was able to get some amazing pics. What a blessing to me, I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. 

 

The trick here is getting all five kidos to look at me & smile. Sha is known for sticking her tongue out at the last minute. Tayler & Abby is known for giving fake smiles. Lanie is smiley most of the time. And Camryn, we are just lucky that her finger is not up her nose. 

I look at this picture and I can't believe how big Shaylee has grown. She is shorter than Abby, but has bigger feet and hands. She will probably tower Abby. She still loves playing softball. She is back in piano and is loving it. It is funny that I have to tell her to stop reading and get ready for the day, or do chores, she is diffidently my book worm. 

And then there is Camcam. She is a little fireball. Super photogenic, and always wanting in the pictures. Can't believe my baby will be 5 in a couple of weeks. Even though she is the baby, she is the boss in the family. What a joy she has brought all of us. Little stinker is what she is. 

Miss Lanie...She is something else. I love that she has her own personality, very out spoken. She will call you out and tell you how it is. (Not always a good thing when she is pointing out how bad of a parent you are.) She will be in 3rd grade this fall. Growing up so fast and barley putting on any weight, still eats like a bird. 

This picture can basically speak for itself. Tayler is growing at an alarming rate. He is almost bigger than Nick. This kid is super smart. Between him and Abby, they will eat us out of house and home. He finally got to play tackle football and feel in love. Wish that he was closer so we could make every game.  

My little Miss Abby is not so little anymore. She is turning into a beautiful young lady. She is so in love with dance. Can't believe she will be 14 this summer. "A" stands for Abby.....NOT it stands for Attitude, and Abby has it big time. She can be very sweet though. She is like a second mom to her young sisters. She is a joy to have around. Just a fair warning, I will be keeping a shotgun on the front porch soon. 

The love of my life....hmmm....what a stud. This fall will be our 6 year anniversary. What an amazing journey we are on together. Wouldn't want anyone else by my side for this adventure. 

I HAD to put this pic in. Camcam decided to pull a fast one on me. She hurried and stuck her tongue in Nicks ear. 

I can't thank my father in heaven enough for these beautiful angles. They keep me on my toes for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way. So blessed to be the mother of 4 girls. 

(even if our house is drama!)
