Our Family



These are the pictures we could get. It is always interesting to try to get everyone in the right place at the right time, and smiling in the same direction. So, we ended up with more than a few pictures that are pretty funny. Those are the ones I SHOULD be posting.

Our kids have been up to their funny tricks again.

We went home for Thanksgiving last month and while we were there, Will got into my makeup in the middle of the night. I walked into the room he and Wally were sharing at about 2:30 in the morning, to find Will sitting with a full face of makeup, wearing a bonnet! I am talking mascera on his lashes and all. I was laughing so hard trying to take it all in, that I didn't notice Wally, sound asleep with his face all done up too. Will had applied Wally's makeup while he was asleep, and Wally didn't even wake up. He was surprised in the morning, to find his natural beauty enhanced. He did have it smeared all over his hands, and in his hair, so he put up some kind of fight in his sleep!

The next day, Wally brought Del a bunch of paper taped together and told him that he had made a present. Del opened it and pulled out a piece of paper cut into a rectangle with drawing on it.

"Thanks! What is it?" Del asked.

Wally answered, " It is a savings bond!"

He is definitely his father's son. Who else would be giving the gift of a savings bond at age five? Now Del just has to wait around for about twenty years, and maybe they will let him cash it in. Savings Bond? What is this, 1943? What a funny boy!

Thanks, I did them. Well, the kids, but I set the camera and had my neighbor be my "button pusher" for the shots I am in. I knew we would never get a good one of all of us if I didn't do that!

Beautiful (and sweet) pictures! :) I've read your blog on and off and I really enjoy hearing your boys' antics. That's the first make-up story I've read so far! Cracks me up!

(this is Lynette Packer from high school, by the way...I don't want you to freak out when you see a random comment from someone you may not recognize off the bat. I hope it's okay that I've been reading your blog...)

Your pictures are so cute! I couldn't even get one with Hayden and Tate together. That is such a funny story about Will and the make-up. Are you guys coming to Utah for Christmas?
