Another Option

I found another apartment for a little bit less. Here's the trade off. It doens't have a washer and dryer, but it has a bigger kitchen, a place for a dining table (which I have), an extra room, and here's the kicker - - - a walk in closet!!! Do I want the washer and dryer or more square footage?

My new apartment

Here's the floorplan of my new apartment. It's so cute. Well it's not really my apartment. It's just the one that I want. It's a bit expensive, but I really like it. All along the curve is windows so it's really brite. The D W are the washer and dryer that are included. YEA!!! Anyway, I know it's more expensive than what ya'll paid when you got married, but it's rexburg and it's the going rate ($500)

Father's day

When I went home for Father's day I got some more pictures of the babies. BUT, it's really hard to get 3 babies to smiles at the same time. Ty and Allie were grumpy, so I didn't have much luck. Once Melissa came, Allie was smiling more, and I'm sure if Angie had been there, Ty would have been more happy. OH WELL. There are some cute ones.


Kayla just got a tent so she wanted to be playing in that instead of getting her picture taken (especially since I do that all the time) But mom and dad were persuasive enough to get her in there. I really like the one where she's playing in the grass. We were trying to get allie to sit there and she wouldn't. Kayla got bored and started doing her own thing.






Allie was 6 months old, so we got a bit more of just her. It was fun, but man she was not happy. That is, until mom came. That picture is so cute, because she just smiled so big when she saw her mom. Once we got her off the grass, and onto the blanket, I think she liked it a lot better as well. She was free to play with her feet. She also, in the last picture, sat up for the first time. lissa's hand is in it, only to catch her once she did fall.







The girls together wasn't as easy as you'd think. Allie would actually be smiling more than Kayla. That girl just wanted to play in her tent, and was distracted very easily.




Tyler came in the afternoon. He was hungry and didn't like the grass, so we didn't take any real smiley pictures, but I think the ones where he's playing with dad are really cute. (That's Cory's arm in the corner) He also (maybe this isn't new, but it is to me) loves the xylophone. He loves it with a mallet, he loves it with his hand, he just loves it. He was especially happy when Cory put him off the grass on the blanket with the xylophone.





Finally, all the babies together. Not easy. the one where they are laying down, they are all different pictures because they wouldn't all smile at the same time. Imagine that.

OUR FAMILY

Hey, I think I've finally finished the portrait of our family. As always, I'd appreciate any changes. I decided to go with a fade out instead of a crisp line. (The other way is on the pictrues by amy website) Specify which one you'd like. I just need to know what eveyrbody needs, so you can email me. to get a 8x20 it's 8 dollars unmounted. It might be easier to match a size to the frame, so le tme know. Anyway, love ya all. I'm glad that we could do this. I've always envied those families with a beautiful family portrait in their home. I knew that we hadn't had it because well, we hate getting our picture taken. I hope everybody likes it.




ps. this is how a 8x20 will be cropped

I know I'm dumb but. . . .

I know I'm dumb, but I'm way excited about this. I'm on the PP of I website. Yea, I'm sure they will get my images on Sunday, and then that will be even more exciting.
