Pictures, Idaho, and Carly

We finally were able to get the kids 3 and 2 year old pictures taken. About a year ago, Matt told me that he could be more creative and save us money if he took the kids pictures every year, instead of going to Kiddie Kandids. I told him as long as he had them done by the end of August that I would let him do it. Well, it is the end of August and they just got done. I have to agree with him, that he is right and that it's nice that we can be creative with them.

These are our top pics of Sammie and . . .



our top picks of Eston.



We were unable to get a non goofy picture of the two kids together. What can I say, you put Sammie and Eston together and you rarely have a serious moment.



We went to Idaho last week and had a lot of fun while there. Matt showed up at the end of the week and the kids had a lot of plans for him. First on the agenda was a camping trip. Matt arrived at his parents house around 9:30 pm, and the kids put him right to work on setting up the tent so they could camp. It was too cold outside so they camped in the living room.



The next day they told Matt that it was time to make a tent outside. Matt used the clothes line to assemble this puppy. The three of them played for about an hour outside.



Carly came home from Georgia on Thursday, August 21st. The first few days my mom, Lindsay, and Carly had a hard time adjusting. Carly has almost been home for a week and they just about have a working routine down. She will be staying with my parents for the next few months until her dislocated hip heals and she can walk on her own. As far as her neck, the doctors are still deciding whether she will require surgery or not. She for sure will be in a neck brace at least 4 to 6 months. Carly has a long recovery ahead of her but is in amazing spirits. Thanks again to those that have kept her in their prayers and thoughts. We appreciate it.

Darling pictures of both of them. Sammie has such a big beautiful smile.
Eston is become such a handsome little boy.
It is always fun when daddy's build tents and hideouts. Glad you all had so much fun in Idaho.

Every year, in October, we get our family pics taken, and after seeing yours turn out SO dang cute, I'm tempted to save money and do it ouselves this year, too. What an inspiration, you are Brynn! :D Carly seems to be recovering great. She looks gorgeous, but of course look at the rest of the girls in her family...pretty much all hotties, right? Oh yea baby!
