Once a year Family Picture Time

Here they are - the event that we know we need to do, but wonder why? after we do it.
It is so hard to get everyone ready for this and have them happy. The one day that Spencer actually takes a nap (during the photos) and Kady skips hers and is crabby. So we made do with what we had.
Dad is a favorite if you can't tell. Each of the kids wanted one alone with daddy. Chandler and Alyssa both took theirs to hang in their lockers at school and Sarah took hers home with her too.

Daddy and his Princess

Sarah and her newest baby sister

Ties for my FAVORITE! Cory told me that this was just a moment that they were having and they took a picture. This was Chandler telling daddy that he was all done taking pictures.

Daddy and two of his girls (Beans and Kadalee)

I was trying to make her smile because she was crying - if you look close, she is starting to smile. If you look closer you'll see her slobber all over my sleeve from where she was sucking on it :)

No wonder people stare at us when we go somewhere all together -I mean look at us, we're good looking people :) oh and yeah there are a lot of us :)

All My Boys

All the Girls (Daddy took off Kady's socks and she stopped crying - way to go daddy!)

Ahhhhhhhh - isn't that cute~
Cory has lost 40lbs since we've moved to Iowa, too bad I'm still working on baby weight.

Ties for MY FAVORITE (and was the kids idea to pose this way)
