Here are a few of our family photos for this year. We did them at the beach like last year, but this time some family friends did them for us, instead of the tripod doing all the work. Great job, Will! He was able to make it look like we were the only people on the beach, when in reality there were tons! And, Jessica was able to help us get everyone looking in the right direction and mostly smiling, which is virtually impossible at times with little ones! Thanks!

I love pictures because they can capture a quick perfect moment in the middle of the diaper changing, tantrums, and other challenges of parenting!

Girls play with legos too! Avery played with her red dinosaur, giraffe, and blue crocodile for hours.

Mikaya practices surfing on my training surf board.

Beach bums, literally!

We went to a baseball game for Family Home Evening. The stadium was beautiful with the city lights behind it.
