All Naturale Family

We rarely have anyone around to take a nice family photo for us and we always end up trying the timer method. Yesterday we went on a walk on the Jordan River Trail by our house with Jimmy's sister Julie.  Perfect setting with the river and trees + a photographer = must do!

We were definitely all-naturale but figured it would still be fun to take photos. No make-up on me (anyone know how to photoshop in some mascara!!), chocolate frosting on Abe's forehead with uncombed hair, whiskers on Jim, Max who just spit-up something orange all over himself and my hand, and Hannah with wind-blown hair.
I think I like the less-than-picture-perfect ones because they seem more like our every-day real-life family.

family means
putting your arms
around each other
and being there."

Those are perfect family photos! You should fill your house with those type of pictures -- they make others smile too!

I LOVE this! What a cute laughter moment in the second photo, and followed by that quote just made a lump in my throat. Families truly are one of life's greatest blessings! And you have such a cute one.
