And she's off!

Well...Mia is now in Paris! To keep up with her you can follow her blog here: http://oneoldfashionedgirl.blogspot.com/

So...here are the photos of helping Blake and Christine move. (Taken with my little old camera, so they aren't the best quality.)

::Now to unload everything::

::And this is unloading the scissor lift :: 

I was actually going to post pictures from the other Saturday when we helped Blake and Christine move, but since the pictures are still on the card that is in Mia's bug I will post pictures from Sunday instead!

::There was an outdoor service...and afterward food and games::

  ::Adorable twins::

::And of course everyone wants their picture taken with them::

 ::Softball::

::Watching the game::

 ::Kaylee and Shan::

Family Pictures

Once a year, one of the girls in this family gets the incredibly 'bright' idea that we need a new family picture. It's too bad that the boys outnumber the girls so badly because, from the oldest to youngest, they throw a fit and you have to (literally) force dress them and drag them in front of the camera. This year was no exception. But it's over now.

ALL TEN BOYS 

 Clay was DONE!!!

 Slowly we are gaining girls...Christine and Sandra...helping to add the gentle touch to all the rough and tumble.

 So, we all smiled for the camera here. And then we went a couple of other places and took more. It was going as good as could be expected...Until a person watching from behind the camera (thanks Sylvia) said "Where's Miles???" Um. He was hiding in the van and had been missing from ALL of the family pictures. Words can't express how ANNOYED everyone was. All that pain, just to discover that we had to RETAKE the pictures. 

Maria

Aud and Trev

Brady and Brock 

Christine and her brother, Josh. Who might as well just be in our pictures, since he is as much a part of the family as everybody else. 

Sandy and some of the brothers

Trevor

 Marvin and Aud

 Get one laughing and you got them ALL laughing.

 Twins

 Garth

This one has Marvin and Sandy in it. Not technically part of the family. Yet.

 Logan and Sandy

Here we are. Sigh of relief. Don't have to do that again...until NEXT year!!!
