Love these family pictures.

Too bad I went and cut my hair a couple months after we took these pictures, so now I look a lot different. Oh well, my smile is still the same :)

I'm not sure who loved it more....our neighbor or Kaleb. It turned out amazing! It would be fun to have as a reading nook in a kids bedroom.

It's Almost Time!!!

Graduation is only 3 weeks away!! We are sooooooooo super excited to be done!!! (Really I am already done and my diploma is hanging on the way in a super cool frame that my in-laws gave me, but I haven't done the whole walking thing yet.) So we decided to order announcements that had both of our names on there, since we get to walk together. And we decided to have a Graduation Lunch. And of course we needed to take a picture to include with that and our awesome upstairs photographer neighbor even agreed to take some one evening for us.
The only problem is that the weather has been so up and down that we couldn't really schedule a day. So one day it was kinda warm and not cloudy, so as soon as Kaleb got home from work I made him, yes I made him, shower and change so we could go take pictures. One of the electives in Cub Scouts is photography, so I thought Maxwell could try taking some pictures and he did pretty good for his first photo shoot. With digital pics we could take them and look and teach him how to make them better and always just erase the ones that didn't work. And if all else failed we could use the little tripod and the timer.


In front of Old Main...an okay picture but we were squinting a little and I don't really like the open door in the background.


A fun spot to take pictures, but the lighting just wasn't right and neither were the looks on our faces!!!

Jensen wanted a picture with Mommy! The sun was just right in my eyes, hence the wonderful look on my face.

This is Old Main, a famous old building on the USU campus. At night the A's on the top are lit with white lights. Then when the Aggies win a game they turn on blue lights!

This was a pretty good picture, just the sun was in our eyes and made it hard to get good facial expressions!!

Tradition on campus is that you aren't a "True Aggie" until you've kissed another "true aggie" on top of the A on the night of a full-moon. However, since we were already married when we started going to USU we decided we really didn't want to kiss some stranger on top of the A. So we decided this worked for us and we are "True Aggies". We've put enough time and money into this that I think we get to decide that!

However, the boys are both at the age that they said "EWWWWW!" when we kissed!

Since we were all there we tried a family picture on the A. I think we will go back another day when the light is a little better and it is a little warmer and see if we can't get a better picture.

The winning picture! We ended up using the tripod and the camera. The boys got tired of taking pictures and it was getting cold.

Sorry if you didn't get an announcement in the mail, being poor college students we could only afford so many. Here is a scanned in one. If you are in the area that day we would love for you to come to the lunch!!! (Let me know and I will send you the info, cause I didn't want to post it all on our blog.)
