A holiday photo miracle. Kinda

So, I’m kinda obsessed with taking picture of my world. If you know me then it’s not new information. You can only imagine my excitement when I found out that family photos were happening for BOTH side of our family!!!! It’s been years. And I have been super bugged that it’s not been happening because of life situations. Living far apart, work, blah, blah, blah.

All of Jon’s siblings were going to be in So UT for Thanksgiving this year. However sadly two of Jon’s Brothers-in-law had to work. 🙁 But for how huge his side is it’s amazing that this was able to happen at all.

Regan’s ginger hair is a flame with the sun. And in the big family photo 20 out of 21of the kids are looking AT the camera! Miracle. And holey geeze. It was FREEZING! The wind. It was killer. We counted down then tossed coats off. Family Photo

My parents and younger siblings come down to AZ for Christmas this year. So the day after Christmas we got to do photos with my side. It was another COLD windy day. The last time I had sibling photos done I had bond pixie hair. It’s been a few year. I was super happy about getting new ones.IMG_3456 IMG_3486 copy

Regan was FROZEN. The wind was blowing so hard his eyes were watering. The wind didn’t even phase Logan. Also Jack’ee has decided the the boots and braces are just snow board training. 😉IMG_3471

Visiting The Grandpaaa in the hospital

Jon’s Dad has been sick and finally went in to get checked out. And then his liver started to fail. So we packed up bags and picked up some Aunts and Uncles and headed to Utah. We were praying that it was NOT to say goodbye.

  We spent a good portion of our weekend visiting The Grandpaaa in the hospital.

He still made it fun for these two. Because that’s how he is.

With all his boys. Grandpa started getting better. Yea. 🙂 So Sunday afternoon we headed back to Phoenix. Still waiting on all his labs and tests and such to find out what is going on.

Nathan baptism and family birthday parties

Sweet Nathan got baptized and all the local cousins got to celebrate his special day with him. I love these silly people and their amazing grandparents.

Our local clan is hopefully just going to keep growing. I love having so many nieces and nephews nearby to love on as much as our crazy busy lives allow.

Nathan wanted king piggy for his 8th pinata. So king piggy he got.

Sara (my birthday buddy) decided to throw down a challenge on my pinata skills. I love this girl and am only slightly scared for what next years request will be. 😉  Pretty much a perfect Saturday. Baptism, all the kiddos, and 2 birthdays celebrated.
