2010 Family Pictures


My best friend Lindsay Ross did our YEARLY family pictures again this year and we had a lot of fun doing them. I try to make it as easy as possible on my husband so this year we let everyone wear whatever they wanted (not planned, but everyone picked something different to wear as we walked out the door!), I wanted some with us in hoodies because both Fro and i love hoodies, and I thought it would be fun to get some shots of our family doing what we love- BIKING! so we have a bit of everything!! Lindsays motto for pictures is wear something comfortable and what you would normally wear- so Fro got the best of both worlds!! Here are a few of my favorites!!!

I love this one because Cam is constantly making faces, and I can't help but laugh when I look at him in this!



i ended up loving different things about each picture so here are more, and more and more............

We had fun on our bikes, it was trickier terrain than we anticipated with lots of rocks, but we had fun and i love all the pictures I have of my little family!! thanks linds you are the best!!!

THE INJURY


On wednesday Fro had planned to go to the bike park with one of his buddies. Nothing unusual- ten minutes after getting there I got a call from him asking which ER he could go to. I thought he was kidding but NOPE!! He was there 10 minutes before he HYPEREXTENDED his left KNEE! He was jumping into a bowl on his bike and hit it a little twisted and put his left leg down. It popped his knee completely backwards!! Not a pretty sight, his knee is swollen 3 times his other knee. The worst part of the whole ordeal is we have a family BIKING trip planned to St. George in less than a week and he can't walk. It is a huge bummer, but hopefully he will be up and walking in no time!

It is pretty awesome that Fro can drop huge 30 ft. drops on his bike, and fly down an entire mountain in under 4 minutes, but give him something small and dumb, and he is bound to get hurt! it is just the way he works.

Yes this is my 2 year old taking over the Bike Park in SANDY!! How awesome is that!! I was pretty excited when my husband showed up with a brand new skate helmet for Cam. It was for a five year olds head, and it still didn't fit Cams head!! So after finding one that would fit his head they were off to the bike park. I think Fro was even more excited about it than Cam, but after figuring out his way around, Cam couldn't stop talking about going again!! A couple days later They went to ride again, and Cam did even better, and LOVED IT!!
Don't ask me how he keeps his head up with that huge helmet, but he does and loves it! Your awesome Cam!!

Who knew!!

Who Knew I was Crafty!! I am not, but I challenged myself to make this........


My Brother in law has a blanket that his mom made for him when he was younger out of his old sports shirts, and clothes. Brooke my sister decided to do one for her girls and I thought what better way to remember the cute days of your kids than with the clothes they wore. (and they were just sitting in bins in the basement anyway!!) So i cut up some of my favorite, most memorable outfits from Ali as a baby, up until last year, and made them into a warm blanket for her.

After backing it wrong and sewing it inside out, re-picking, then sewing again, I finished it!!It turned out pretty good for someone who does NOT sew!! And most importantly it reminds me of Ali in every way, and she LOVES it!!
