Foto Friday--Where Have All the Fotos Gone?

Where have you been, Foto Friday?
I've had this post in my head, but I haven't quite gotten around to posting it. Bad mommy.

After bowling with all the family, we headed to Nielsen's for lunch. Here we all are:

Sam held his own with all the craziness pretty well:

Heidi and her shake got a little messy:

Tucker--we were so happy to have him home for that one night:

Ben can't be normal around a camera (or is this normal?):

Lily loves ketchup--gross, huh?

Micah had bitten his cheek three times during the meal, so he resorted to this strategy:

Rum ran and ran, only sitting long enough to eat his ice cream:

Evie is starting to get hair, can you see it in all its blond glory?

Brad was there, too, not really wanting to stand in front of the camera:

And here we all are:

I love my family, warts and all!
Hope you have a great long weekend.  Those of you on the East Coast--stay dry and safe!

  1. I always LOVE seeing your pics! I also always smile when I log onto your site and see your header! It reminds me of my family. Raising 8 kids has been a blessing as well as a challenge! Thanks for the pics, they brightened my day and maybe I'll gt over the aggravation my kids are causing me today....school needs to begin! This is the fist year I haven't home schooled since 1990 and I'm so ready for the break!

  6. Yes, I have to agree that 110 doesn't feel very fallish!!!

  8. Micah is a crack up- and there is nothing wrong with fingers as the mode to eat a condiment (esp. when it's fry sauce). Great pics of your whole family.

  9. You have the cutest family - handsome boys and beautiful girls. And you all have such fun together - I love to see that. When I come to AZ in a few weeks I want to to to Neilson's for lunch - it looked delicious! My daughter is moving into a house across the street from the temple. She says it is very old but she can stand it for 9 months. Can't wait to see it...

  15. I love this post. Each photo is filled with so much character...as is your family. Fun! Thanks for sharing! My Addie should share some of her mop of hair with Evie. Then they'd both have a normal amount. :)

  17. Looks like fun. We have a place like that here in Colorado called "Five Guys" burgers and fries, it was our dinner Friday night and I actually ate it. I'm not a fan of eating out at all, but I was really tired.

  18. Sam and I have both voted that you need to update your blog so you can get Sam's ugly mug a little further down the page!

  19. Looks like a yummy place. Do you take your camera every where you go? Maybe I should start doing that. It seems like the best pictures are the candid, random pictures. But I only take pictures of the "big" moments, trips,etc. Love the pictures! Yeah for foto Friday!
