Smile for the Camera. . .

Sunday was Joel David's blessing and a family celebration of birthdays for Ben and Stuart. Since this was the first time all the grandkids were together, we just had to take some family pictures. Here's how they turned out on my camera. (There were a lot of cameras in the mix.)

The grandkids.

The chaos.

My sweet little girl, most likely looking for a good rock to hold.

I LOVE that potbelly!

Dirty feet.

The sons.

The guys with parents.

Now, let's play a game called stand as a group and take turns NOT looking at the camera. I did the best I could, but I couldn't find one picture with everyone looking. Here are a couple of the best ones I had. . .

The whole family.
Left to right, back row: Stuart, Lucero, David, Michael, Ben, Grant,
middle row: Carolyn, Cindy, Jocelyn,
on laps: (new baby girl), Eleanor,
front row: Carter, Isaac, Caleb, and Daniel.

The grandkids with Great Grandma Mills (minus Caleb).
They were all pretty sick of pictures at this point. Eleanor is crying her eyes out because she wants to hold the dog leash, but if I gave her the dog leash, she would just scream louder. She was hungry for dinner and a bit irrational.
And. . . We're done!
The kids were really good sports while it lasted.
