Family Picture Time?

A few of you have said that you want me to take your family pictures or kid's pictures this year, but I haven't heard anything since then. So this post is to find out if anyone is really wanting them. I would love to practice on as many as I can, so if you are thinking you want them, I would LOVE to do it. The only thing is that I would like to do them before October, since my baby is due on the 19th. So......if you are serious or curious, email me and let me know. d_julie@live.com And here are a few of last year's family photo shoots.....

4th of July

We had a really fun 4th of July this year. During the day we went boating on the Ririe Reservoir with my sister Sonja and her friend Isaac. Macie loved it, but Branson was tired the whole time, and didn't really have that much fun. In the evening we had Root beer Floats with Reed' s Mom, Grandma Ruth, and Casey & Cindy, and headed out to the Menan fireworks.  They were a lot better than I thought they'd be, I was impressed!  Of course they weren't like Idaho Falls, but we parked close, got a great spot, and were home in no time.  Macie loved them, and Branson seemed to like them too....for the first few minutes.  But both kids did great, and it was a really nice evening.

And here are a few pictures from the firework show.  It was fun to mess around with firework shots, I'd never done them before.

Father's Day

I am so lucky to have Reed as the father of my children. He is such a great husband and Dad, and we couldn't really ask for anything more. On Father's Day our day was a little busy, so we had a nice breakfast instead of dinner. Macie made cards for her Daddy and grandpas, and we gave Reed his man-sized baby blanket. I attempted one last year, but had no idea how to sew with minky. This year's turned out a little better. :) I know it's a month late, but Happy Father's Day Reed, we love you!
