Desirae thankfully organized a photographer for
family pictures this weekend, so the family converged on Dad & Mom's
house in Westville. It was a lovely weekend both in weather and in great
family time.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| We had to rename Dad's wood-cutting truck from "The Turd" to
"Brownie" for Brodie's sake. We didn't want to teach him bad
words! |
I love this blurry picture because it's how he looks in real
life. Full speed all day.

Fierce stick battle on the
porch.

 |
| For Brodie, any activity can be made better by sticking out your tongue |
Eric is popular with Brodie because he's always doing the unexpected |
| |
|
 |
 |
Sliding with the tongue out can be dangerous, but he ain't scared.
|
Yes, he was driving forward at full speed during this photo, and yes, he
does that all the time. He's an amazing driver. |
| |
|
All visits to Westville start with a washing of the Gator. It must be
clean.
|
 |
| |
Now it is time for family pictures - these guys are so excited to be there. |

We let Brodie play by the water to blow off some pre-photo steam |

These shots are some candids I took while the real
photographer was doing her thing.
Her great pictures are included at the bottom of this page.

Mom or Desirae shot this for us, which I appreciated greatly.
We love our Gran. |

When we saw this picture of Gran my Mom said,
"Whistler's Mother."
|
It cracked us up so Desirae had to do this side-by-side comparison on her
phone |
| |
|
 |
 |
| This is how it feels to be told to "Stand still and smile" for a
whole 15 minutes. |
Now we're back in Westville, where Mom, Dad, and Brodie haul the fire
pit to the front yard in a creative way. They are creative problem solvers. |
|
As promised - professional family photographs.
They turned out great.
Especially considering the challenges we threw at her!
