La familia

Well, it's that time of year again to get our family photos. This year we "surprised" Peggy for her birthday and somehow got the ENTIRE clan to get together for family pictures. Here is the result.

2 Parents, 8 kids, 6 spouses, 7 grandkids! It was pretty cold that morning and Jayben had to wear his gloves in the pictures. It was funny.


Ben and I decided that we should also add to our family picture collection. Something that I have not been as faithful as I thought I would at keeping up with. But we have done it two years in a row now. Woo Hoo for us!


The picture by the door was supposed to be of just Ben and me but Jayben sneaked in. And it turned out so cute. I love how he is hiding by Ben.


I love Jayben's expression in these pictures, especially with the three of us. He was laughing and being his silly self. It's not everyday you get to capture such great moments.




Once again, Jayben was hamming it up for us. He is so my kid. Just look at those pouty lips! Ha ha.


Ben has the best smile in this picture. I must say that my husband is freaking hot.


And finally my favorite picture of the day. . .


He could totally be a model for Target. I just love this kid.

I love the family pictures. They turned out really well considering how many people were there and all of the little kiddos. The pictures of you guys turned out really cute too! I can only imagine trying to get pictures with all of Shaun's family! Maybe that's why we haven't done them! :)

Cute kids and grandkids, of course I may be a little prejudice and bias but Grandpa's can do that, you know.
We love the pictures. When Grandma is on the computer by her self and starts laughing you can just about bet she is looking at the Blog.
Keep up the good work by keeping us all informed through your Blog.

Grandparents Jay & Luana.
