* my cute little nephew *

I realized that i don't blog about half of what i take pictures of

{mostly because i'm lazy }

but when i was organizing my pic folders i came across

these darling ones of my little nephew (nicks side of the fam)

we took them at the end of summer at layton park.

My mother in law {who is like a second mother to him}

wanted some fun "parky" goodness pictures!!!

my cute mother in law- she is such a fun grandma-

we just love her!!!

*Halloweeny wonderment*

so once again our family Halloween party was a blast !!!

My family out does itself every year- they are truly a creative bunch :)

Me & the hubs were "Bikers....big ones"

if you've seen the movie ten things i hate about you -it will all make sense

and also because i try to say that phrase every chance i get

{i know i'm quite odd :) }

i loved Nicks hat/wig the best-

The Kiddos were a vampire and Mario

My bro Dan and his fam on the left- wizard of oz awesomeness
My bro Andrew and his fam- wild animal kingdom goodness



My bro David and his fam- i love the bloody legs :)

These are Joni's parents- they are like having an extra set

of grandparents around :)

My aunt holly & my mom

My aunt came as "Judy" from the lawerence welk show on SNL

i about died when i answered the door

if you haven't seen that skit- please watch right now :)

she totally outdid herself on that one!!!

ahhh my dear sweet mother

how i love thee!!!

we come from a long line of halloween costumers

my grandpa henrie would dress up every year and

surprise us every year with his costumes-

so my mother & aunt have carried it on

plus passed it on to us kids-

when we were little my mom

would have us transformed every halloween

into something amazing- we were always winning

costume contests and being complimented on :)

she seriously rules!!!!

I love being with my family- we have such a great time

together- we always have plenty of food and we end the night

with a white elephant game-

thanks everyone for helping and contributing!!!

* E family *

This cutey patootey fam are in my ward

they were so easy peasy- so fun and so darn lovely :)

i love the colors they used...it always makes for fab pictures!!

serious blue eye awesomeness- looove it!!!



thanks- :)

* the family goods *

So the time has come to share my beloved family pictures

my sister in law Marky

She did a wonderfully splendid job!!!

i loved them all so much

i couldn't decide what ones to put on my blog :)

the great thing about this trading family pictures

is that we got to do our own editing

so we got to keep all our originals

(unless they were beyond help )

so we saved not only time but we now get to play

around with all our lovely pictures as much as we want !!

Marky- you are truly the best- thanks {i love them}

Seriously lovelyness!!!

I really don't like having my pictures taken

i feel i'm all teeth and cheeks on my big ole head :)

plus bubba {aka my stomach} has been out of control

chubby- its where my body feels the need to store everything....

so anywho besides my lack of self imagery......i love that we've been documented...

and that i have these wonderful pictures to treasure!!!!
