Family Photos

Check out our new family photo up above!!! So every year for the last 6 or 7 years, we have had our family picture taken by our dear friend, Jill. Every year, she's done a fantastic job with our crazy clan. I mean, she's the ONLY one who can get my boys to show their teeth when they smile (as evidenced by their individual photos, which I'll post later), and she lets us all be our silly selves, which I LOVE, because it comes out in the photos. With Jill's direction, you can see that we went for a brighter, more 'suburban' photo this year, and I love the look!! If you live in the Mesa, AZ area or So Cal, (or maybe other places, too) and you need new family pictures, or a wedding photographer, or photos for just about anything, Jill's your gal. Check out more of  her work here. It's amazing to look back and see how much we all have changed. . .except for Chris. . .he never seems to age, lucky guy!

New year and random thoughts

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. My motivation is still lost, but I figure the best way to find it again is just to post something. And, I haven't forgotten about the ideas posted here. I'll get to each of those eventually, too. Today, though, my thoughts are about random things. . .like strawberry kiwi jello, good friends, wii fit, and cleaning the garage. It's a new year, which for most means resolutions. I've resolved not to make any this year, however. Instead, I'm just going to enjoy life more. Things like strawberry kiwi jello, good friends, wii fit, and yes, even cleaning the garage.
