Family Pictures

Saturday October 30th we went to Pine Valley (near St. George, UT) to take some family photos. We were all in town for my cousin Brieanna's mission farewell. My Aunt Karen was our photographer. Here are a few of the semi-decent pictures that turned out. The scenery was pretty awesome, but when you have a group of people that hate to get their pictures taken, well, it's hard to get a decent photo.

Enjoy...

In this picture my mom wanted to "recreate" a picture we took on a whale watching cruise a few years back when Shawn graduated boot camp. That has been one of her favorite pictures, and this one looks almost exactly like it...I'm just a few pounds heavier!

The funny thing about this picture (below) is that Leila was playing a new game over the weekend. First she would cover her eyes with her hands. Then we would say "Where's Leila?" Then she moves her hands and smiles/laughs really hard. (basically peek-a-boo) but she starts it and hides behind her chubby little hands. It is the cutest...well, she was playing that game while my aunt was trying to take this set of pictures. The picture right before this, her eyes are covered. This one, she has brought her hands down to laugh. Love it.

Kuso thought he was being funny, but my aunt loved it, so she had to take a picture.

Funny thing is that we have a similar picture to this from our bridal picture shoot.

Kuso must think he is the next ROCK.
This is Rusti (my cousin's daughter who is 10 days older than Leila) and Leila

running up the path. I think Rusti is just trying to get up the hill without falling.

Looks like Leila is going to make sure she gets there first!

She's got that competitive Spirit!
