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.

The payoff is great!

Avery was watching some home videos of Coral roller skating, when she was little, and really wanted some for herself. Curtis made her work for them by having her write all of her ABC's (five times), all of our names, and all of her numbers. She did and here she is in her new roller skates (isn't the outfit she put together fabulous?!)
