"BIG" Family Picture

We had our family pictures done on the 20th of December. All 45 of us in one shot! The photographer did such an amazing job. My parents gave us all sittings for our families and children for Christmas. All in a few hours this photographer took all 9 families and individual pictures, plus this big picture. She did a great job, and I love that it was taken in the "jungles" at my parents. I grew up in those trees. I'm grateful that we have this picture. In my parent's last Stake Conference my dad spoke on the importance of taking pictures of the ones you love. So that you have evidence of the wonderful lives we have and the love that we share. We were very grateful at the time of Grace's passing that we had so many great pictures of her. I have loved that advice and I hope my kids can handle saying "cheese" a lot. I will post our family picture as soon as we get them back. What an amazing sight! What a blessing an Eternal Family is!

Jack's Riddle

Since I haven't updated in a while I thought I would share Jack's latest riddle.
Jack "Hey Mom, do you want to hear my riddle?"
Me "Sure, I'd love to."
Jack "What kind of crack does everyone have?"
Me "What?" Knowing full well what he was about to say.
Jack "A bum crack."
Me "Oh, really."
Jack "I'm serious, everyone has one." He was trying so hard not to laugh but sound intelligent.
This is my life, every day, all day! Love it!
