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 graduated from preschool on may 21st. This is Teacher Jenny and Jack absolutely loves her. I cried when I saw him say goodbye to her. It has been a great two years and Jack has learned a ton. He is was a good little student and never once had to sit in time out! You better believe I already have Ben signed up to start in 2 years. She is so good that his class is almost full!
Way to go Jack, we are so proud of you. That is Kinsey, his first girlfriend, behind him.
He knew every action and he did them proudly!
Ben is the funniest stinkin kid I have ever known. He knew he looked cute so he was posing up a storm. He left the hat on for most of the day.
Two Cutie Patooties!
Ben at Grandma Elggrens.
The boys Easter Morning. They looked so handsome.
Valentines day baskets to my boys from Mommy. I love how Ben has a piece of candy in his mouth. They were so excited. I actually bought twinkies that they are always wanting me to buy, but I refuse to. 
Ben and Jack at the Aquarium in Sandy. They both loved it! Ben liked the Sharks and Jack loved the Anaconda snake. I hated that dang snake!
