I've had this post in my head, but I haven't quite gotten around to posting it. Bad mommy.
After bowling with all the family, we headed to Nielsen's for lunch. Here we all are:
Sam held his own with all the craziness pretty well:
Heidi and her shake got a little messy:
Tucker--we were so happy to have him home for that one night:
Ben can't be normal around a camera (or is this normal?):
Lily loves ketchup--gross, huh?
Micah had bitten his cheek three times during the meal, so he resorted to this strategy:
Rum ran and ran, only sitting long enough to eat his ice cream:
Evie is starting to get hair, can you see it in all its blond glory?
Brad was there, too, not really wanting to stand in front of the camera:
And here we all are:
I love my family, warts and all!
Hope you have a great long weekend. Those of you on the East Coast--stay dry and safe!
I love Micah's strategy.

Lady, u have one gorgeous family!!
ReplyDeleteI always LOVE seeing your pics! I also always smile when I log onto your site and see your header! It reminds me of my family. Raising 8 kids has been a blessing as well as a challenge! Thanks for the pics, they brightened my day and maybe I'll gt over the aggravation my kids are causing me today....school needs to begin! This is the fist year I haven't home schooled since 1990 and I'm so ready for the break!
ReplyDeleteI just love the last picture....your family looks soooooo FUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Micah's a smart one! I'm so glad he and Maggie are getting married. =) M&M's served at the reception and all... Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI too love your family. A lot! Thanks for sharing them with us. Y'all are great and I miss sitting on the stools in the kitchen while you bake yummy cookies!! Speaking of, what are your plans for Sunday night....
AND, GREAT suggestions on the reading front - we're totally going to read together. =) YAY!!
Every one of ya is cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your family!
ReplyDeleteI love your family warts and all too!! They're the BEST!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have to agree that 110 doesn't feel very fallish!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course, long about January I'm sure your weather is better than ours!
Its all about counting your blessing right!
With how much I love this family, this post brought tears to my eyes because I miss you all so much. All of you are SO special!
ReplyDeleteMicah is a crack up- and there is nothing wrong with fingers as the mode to eat a condiment (esp. when it's fry sauce). Great pics of your whole family.
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest family - handsome boys and beautiful girls. And you all have such fun together - I love to see that. When I come to AZ in a few weeks I want to to to Neilson's for lunch - it looked delicious! My daughter is moving into a house across the street from the temple. She says it is very old but she can stand it for 9 months. Can't wait to see it...
ReplyDeleteThat Micah is too cute - and resourceful. No way is he going to miss out on that fry!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos, your children are all so beautiful ... and that last photo is amazing with AAAALL of you looking so pretty (and all eyes open!), how on earth did you manage that?!
ReplyDeleteCute Photos! I have to say, I love the blond hair on Eve!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these and the stories they tell.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the night
BTW...no worries about the card, I was just hoping I hadn't written down my address wrong and you were sitting there wondering where is my thank you!!!:)
We are seeking refuge at my mom's and my cousins because they working AC. Ours is out right now. It was 104 today. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLove the pick the little guy protecting his cheek to eat! I have actually resorted to that myself!!
I love this post. Each photo is filled with so much character...as is your family. Fun! Thanks for sharing! My Addie should share some of her mop of hair with Evie. Then they'd both have a normal amount. :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet photos, Jen! I love them. Evie is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. We have a place like that here in Colorado called "Five Guys" burgers and fries, it was our dinner Friday night and I actually ate it. I'm not a fan of eating out at all, but I was really tired.
ReplyDeleteSam and I have both voted that you need to update your blog so you can get Sam's ugly mug a little further down the page!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy place. Do you take your camera every where you go? Maybe I should start doing that. It seems like the best pictures are the candid, random pictures. But I only take pictures of the "big" moments, trips,etc. Love the pictures! Yeah for foto Friday!
ReplyDeleteI missed this post. Love seeing your family.
