Sunday Family Photos - Part 2 - Weeks 14-26



As one of my New Year's resolutions, I wanted to try this year to take a family picture every Sunday. Sometimes Scott is at work or someone is sick and doesn't go to church or we're on vacation...Whatever the situation, though, we take a photo to document our family. It's been awesome so far, and I thought I'd share the second 13 weeks with you.

The Boys


Will is a smart, hard-working, handsome son. He's the oldest, and he's great at it. Will is a great example to all his brothers and a huge help to me. Will loves football, lacrosse, and park skiing. He's in 10th grade at Olympus High School, has all advanced classes and is pulling straight A's.



Jackson has a great imagination and keeps us laughing. He is very creative and is great at drawing, writing and making up stories. He is my number 1 go-to-guy for babysitting; Such a great helper!! Jackson is in 8th grade at Evergreen Jr. High, is in advanced classes and is doing great.



Tyler is in the 6th grade and is my super athletic son. He is great at most sports but excels at football, lacrosse and basketball. Tyler is wild and crazy and always fun to be around. Tyler is great with his newest younger brother, Robbie. It is so sweet to see such an aggressive guy become so soft and kind to a baby brother. 


Gavin is almost 9 years old and such a great kid. Gavin is the most confident and brave kid that I know. He will disappear, off on his own, without a care in the world.  Gavin is a good looking kid with lots of girls that follow him around. Gavin loves most sports and especially loves park skiing. You will find him skiing backwards down the hill. Before leaving, anywhere, he makes sure his hair is combed perfectly. 


Brigham is the biggest "ham" of them all, and that must be why it is in his name. He is the sweetest little personality, and is so kind to everyone. Brigham is the biggest love bug; always hugging, kissing and snuggling with me. He is the biggest 6 year old you'll ever meet, but a super soft teddy bear inside. Brigham tries to do everything his older brothers do. He loved playing flag football, but is ready for the real stuff next year. He loves playing basketball and park skiing. 


Nathan is such a great kid. He is 5 years old and loves playing outside and playing inside. He enjoys watching YouTube tutorials on Minecraft games and then grabbing my cell phone or iPad and advancing in the game. He's a little quieter than the others, but still a fun, outgoing kid. Nathan is enjoying his last year of preschool and is already excited for Kindergarten to start next year. 






Preston is secretly my favorite son! He has such a great personality. Preston talks ALL THE TIME and asks a bazillion questions about everything. I love how inquisitive he is. If you are sad or angry, just spend 5 minutes with this kid and he'll make you not only smile but you'll be laughing. Preston is such a riot! He is a little mini version of all of the other boys. 


And then there's Robbie. He is a darling. He sleeps great, thank goodness! He's starting to smile and coo at me and the other boys. He reminds me of Benjamin Button with his grumpy old man faces that he makes. I love his huge dark, blue eyes and when he scrunches his forehead. So cute! He's also my favorite...shhh, don't tell!

Family Pictures 2014



I always wanted to get married and become a mom. 
I always wanted lots of kids. 
I always wanted lots of BOYS. 
Well, I got everything (and more) than I could possibly wish for.

I knew Scott and I were great together and we would start a family, but really who knew it would be like this? It's loud, messy, stinky, crazy and so worth it. We always have a good time. I wouldn't change a thing! I love Scott with all my heart. He's my whole entire world...I totally married up! Then there's all these handsome, smart, outgoing, fun boys. WOW!!! I'm more than lucky. I'm more than blessed. 

We had a blast taking these family pictures. (Along this super cool fence between the Salt Lake Zoo and the This is The Place Heritage Museum)










Here I am surrounded by all my wonderful boys!! Blessed x8!!

Maternity Photoshoot



 The last week of September I knew I was progressing rapidly and that the baby would be coming soon. The day before the baby was born I had a list of "to-do's", one of which was my maternity pictures. We had taken several inside ones the previous weekend, but I wanted to head outside and take some others. Thank goodness I was able to take the time to get some shots before the baby arrived. (He came 12 hours later, by the way!!) 













Extra special THANKS to Scott for taking these pictures. Love you babe!
