Family pictures 2017

Pictures are always complete chaos.
 
Besides the 24 hours I stressed trying to pick out outfits, which ended up in 50 shades of blue...
It's just crazy trying to get so many people to appear happy, when most are hungry, tired and cranky at 5:30pm on any given day.
 
But, this year I was pretty suprised! We went with Ann Vestal Photography. She is a newer photographer which I like because they usually devote more time to you, and are much nicer for my budget.
 
Ian Henry and Stella all showed their personalities in these photos. I love it. At one point we were trying to take photos from above while the three laid in the grass and Ian grabbed Stella and started kissing her!! It was HILARIOUS, which all things Ian are. He must have been in a kissy mood because he also has a great shot looking at Alvie and I kissing and puckering up.
 
Stella loved keeping the hype up and Henry just didn't want to take a photo without me about 1 foot away from him. Henry also has taken on the role of tiny tyrant so it's fun to watch him try to boss everyone around.
 
 
Here are my favorites...

I'm BACK! Well, maybe..

Hello again.
 
So, I realized after my Dad died that I really was not happy, I was having a hard time after the move, new job, new commute, new friends etc etc. However, it was looking a little dreary on here. So, I decided I would halt all blogging until I felt better.
 
A few weeks back one of my friends told me her husband had read my blog and said, " He was reading your blog and talked about how you basically have everything you were saying you didn't have in the post!" So, I decided to check out the last thing I wrote.. "I'm Jealous." 
He was TOTALLY right. My life has done a full 180 since then and I am so thankful!
 
 
Of coarse there are always the same dilemmas, kids who don't sleep, husbands who don't cook, laundry that doesn't fold itself... But, my overall demeanor is positive and happy again, which I am immensely grateful I was able to get here. Losing a parent is hard, it tries you in ways you never would imagine, but for some reason God has put me through a lot in my life and I guess it's just to make me stronger, or make me extremely well versed in what not to do...
 
 
I love you guys, all 5 of you that read my blog. So, Annie and Mickelle... 
Thanks for moving to San Diego, and Thank you to my new neighborhood friends, I would be lost without you all.   Oh, and that hot husband of mine, pretty thankful for him too.
