Lets Go Back to September 18, 2010

When we were in Utah last September we had family pictures taken with Clint's family. They were done by Vivian Van Leeuwen Photography. I thought they turned out pretty good. The price was right, thats for sure!!

Here is Morgan and Jackson with their cousin Carson.

Nana and Papa

Its only been 7 months, but they look so young to me. Look at Jackson's fine, thin, super blond baby hair!!

I've had these on a disc since September, but haven't had a working disc drive until recently :) I'm glad I could finally share them.

Family Picture

This was our family picture taken back in April. I never posted it when I posted the pictures of the kids. So here it is. Its already time for updated ones. J has changed so much since April.

April 14, 2010-Family Pics

We had family pictures done again a few weeks ago. This time a friend of mine did them. I think she did a great job! Here's a few of my favorites of the kids. I haven't decided which family picture I like best yet, so that will have to come later. Morgan was not cooperative at all and it was like 40 degrees out so we were all freezing.

The one below is the typical scene around our house.

Morgan's 2 Year & Jackson's Blessing Photos

Back in December we had pictures done for Morgan's 2nd birthday. We decided to do a few shots of Jackson in his blessing outfit as well as family pictures. Due to lack of other options, we went to the same lady who did Morgan's 1 year pictures and family pictures last year. Which didn't turn out that great. These are the best ones we got this year. I thought I'd share. None of the family ones turned out. The flowers in these pictures were like a bright purple-ish color that didn't match Morgan's dress at all, so I had her turn all of them into black and white.

This one (below) is my personal favorite.
This is a perfect shot of her natural laugh.

Not sure why they cut her head off in this one???

There wasn't one single good shot of Jackson. This is the best we got and his collar is sticking up and the angle on his face is bad. O well, at least this year we will be in the states for both of their birthdays and we can do better ones! I hope!

PS Jackson was blessed in the same outfit his dad was blessed in :) So this picture is very special despite the not-so-greatness of it.

My 2 Favorite Boys!!!

Isn't He Handsome?

Clint had to get this picture taken this week. He now has his ORB (some kind of profile) completely updated so that we can get orders to our next duty station. We're scheduled to leave Korea around August 19th this year, so we're getting pretty excited. We have less than 7 months! Thats less than a pregnancy and we all know how fast pregnancy goes! We're getting excited. Any bets on where you think we'll go? I have a 'gut' feeling, but I also had a 'gut' feeling when we left Alabama that was wrong, so I'm not sayin this time!

Morgan's 1 year Pictures-Taken January 17, 2009

These pictures are scans of the originals, so they aren't the best quality. Actually, they aren't that great of quality as prints either, but our options for photographers are very limited here. This was the best we could find and the price was right. We weren't planning on doing a family picture that day cause Clint had just work 20 some odd hours, but we had them take a few shots and the first picture is the best we got.

A lady at church calls Morgan a one-toothed witch. Her other top teeth are in now, so it doesn't look quite as bad, but the one is still a little bigger than the rest. Poor kid!

This is her Christmas dress. We didn't have a bow to match and I completely forgot to find one the previous week. The photographer just happened to have this one on hand. I'm not a fan of huge bows, so I think it looks silly. It was way too heavy for her hair to hold.

Beautiful Butterfly

I know Morgan isn't really old enough to go trick-or-treating, and I won't be taking her. But I found this super cute costume used on ksl.com. I couldn't resist. I just thought it was too cute. After a fiasco at Target (long story), I decided to have my AWESOME friend, Erin, take Morgan's pictures. I thought she did a great job. Way better than the photographer at Target. Thanks Erin! I owe you big time! Pictures taken October 22, 2008.

First Professional Pictures-February 18, 2008

While her grandparents were here we took Morgan to get her first professional pictures done. There isn't many places to go around here, so we chose Sears. I wouldn't have chosen them if I had known they wouldn't do that great of a job. I could have done the same pictures at home and made her smile more. They just didn't pay much attention to detail and they rushed us so fast that I couldn't catch every little thing that was out of place. The quality of the prints aren't that great either, if you ask me. O well, she's beautiful anyway, and growing way too fast, so its good that we got them done. In the first picture Morgan is sitting on a Strawberry Shortcake blanket that Grandma Anderson made for her and holding a doll that Grandma Webb gave her for Christmas. In the second picture her shirt says "Daddy is my Hero" but you can't really see the word "Daddy".
