Mom has been here this week so we have spent a lot of time with Jon and Misty's and Scott and Heather's families.  On Tuesday evening we went to J&M's.

Jaidyn and Emma

Ivy & Ella-They do hair.  Horse hair.

Scott and Annie. 

Nate had a scout camp out this weekend, notice how prepared he is.  If it's sunny, he's set.

Um, yeah, she did her own hair.

I didn't take any of these pictures, but the photographer insisted they be included in this week's post.

On Friday Ivy had her first sick day of the school year.  Eli isn't sick, just sympathetic.

This is my brother, some people say he's kind of mean. All I know is he's always bossing me around.

On Friday morning I wore this skirt to assert my fashion independence (and embarrass my mom) and I got this great little plant at Trader Joe's.

These two, I promise you, were up to no good.  I never got any proof, but I had my eye on them.

Some people are really cute and like to have their picture taken.  Others, while still pretty cute, are not so fond of the camera.

This is Emma trying to get me to pick her up.  But I said "Forget it kid. You gotta learn to walk some time and I'm not coming down to the kindergarten to carry you to recess."  Because that's the kind of aunt I am .  Loving but practical.

Oh yes he did go out like that.  To a party. This post proves over and over that our family has some serious fashion sense.

This is her FAVORITE meal.
