Family Photos...

Eventually I will be sharing all the pictures that Frank and I took this week, but there are over 500, so I need to weed through them first, and that's going to take awhile... and more sleep! HA!

In the meantime, here's some I CAN share with you, no editing (on my part anyway) required! Last Wednesday we drove down to Long Beach to see our best friends from college, Moi and Lori-Lynn. It was awesome to see them and hang out... both our families have changed a lot since we were last all together... there are just a couple (ok a lot!) more kids, and life has been crazy (but exciting!) for all of us, but once we were back together again, it was just like old times. We hung out and watched TV and laughed about dumb stuff just like when we were in college and not married yet! Hard to believe we've been friends for 14 years! Our children all had a great time together too... I'm pretty sure they made a big mess, but they had a great time, and that's what matters. :o)

When we first got to Long Beach, Lori-Lynn took us down to Ports O' Call and took our family pictures for us. It was a fun little spot with some great backgrounds. I think we have more kids than her typical photo shoot, but she did a great job... and we taught her that to make boys laugh for pictures, you have to say things like, "fart". HA!

If you live in Southern California (or Northern California, she's up there a lot, and she's also in the Vegas area a lot!) and are looking for a great family photographer, be sure to check out Lori-Lynn's photography page and book a session. You won't be disappointed!



























Thanks, Lori-Lynn!! We love them!!

Renee, these pictures are just beautiful! Love the boys shirts! Kelsey looks so happy in them, love her glasses! Kennedy & Kassidy are just beautiful. Always love to see your kids in pictures. But something I have to comment on are the pictures of you and Frank. You by the way look wonderful!!! But there is just so much love between the two of you in these pictures and it's so nice to see. You can just feel how much you all love each other just looking at them. It's funny - I've been reading your blog for years and I guess I just feel like I know your family. LOL
Thanks for sharing!

These are all so great. Looks like everyone had fun with it. I like the one of just the kids where everyone is laughing, but it looks like someone told Kellsey whatever you do don't laugh. She looks kind of like she's holding her breath. So cute ;).

These are beautiful!
Still praying hard in Seattle!
Psalms 34:4, 6-7 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (6-7) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
