Beach Family Pictures

What a cute bunch of little munchkins!





I love this pic so much and its of our feet...weird but so cute!

A friend of mine is a great photographer and was offering sessions at the beach since she camped with us so we decided to do our yearly pictures there....They turned out great despite the fact that we had to get 5 kids ready in the token showers and so small bathrooms!

Alex's baseball game

leading off first...

Uncle Alex (my brother) played a baseball game at HohoKam Staium this week so we went and watched...it was so fun. I can't wait for my kids to get older, hopefully they love sports as much as Ryan and I do. He is really good and plays for Gateway Community College. The pitcher on the other team had a total melt down cusing up a storm, yelling, etc....after the incident was over we were all laughing at how rediculous he looked and Paige says "I recorded it on my iPod" Uh oh wouldn't want anyone to see that....it was pretty funny though. My 9-year-old has the technology and knows how to use it and I can barely up load my camera photos :-)

Family Pictures 2009

This is pretty much what half of the pictures looked like...someone not looking or just a second to late for the perfect shot :-)

Yes...this is me

Someone on another boat took this...little awakard but we asked another boat to pull up and take our picture...oh well it turned out cute!

This chick was crazy...I am sure she was confunsed about why were not in our bathing suits and why we couldn't swim.

The cute little couple...hee hee!

Every year we take some sort of family pictures and make a Christmas card. This year we sat around the kitchen table looking at all of our old cards and all of the cards we received from are friends and family last year trying to come up with an idea for a fun card....when Ryan said "the lake". We are lake people and we should take our picture at the lake. This revelation came about 2 p.m. and we planned on taking the picture around 4 at our friends house in their front yard. The outfits I had coordinated were not really conducive to the lake but what the heck....oh ya a couple minor problems to overcome we had not asked anyone to drive all the way to the lake on an hours notice on a Sunday afternoon and we have no camera...what are we doing? Anyway after I got everyone ready we borrowed Dusty's camera and headed to the lake on our own and this is the final product...not bad for some rookie photographers :-)

Father's Day

For fathers day we went bowling with papa Bob. Now that all the kids are getting a little older we can do fun activities like this. Everyone bowled really well (I did the best of course, but it just didn't show in my score, not sure why?). We think papa might have thrown out his shoulder trying to beat grandma Suzanne but all in all everyone did great. Sadie was crazy...she kept running around and trying to go to the arcade. Happy Father's Day Papa Bob!

We took a Bond family lake trip to Bartlet Lake this weekend...Dusty and grandma Kriss got a new Malibu boat. We took both boats to the lake, packed a lunch and spent the day having fun! We parked in a cove and let the kids swim and hang out when we made lunch. I think everyone had a great time. Baby Jackson and Tatum had to stay home because it was so hot but all the rest of the kids were there and had so much fun. When Ryan and his brothers and sister were kids they used to go to the lake all the time and grandma Kriss would take them to the Marine and buy them ice creams every trip...so she started that tradition with the grandkids...not sure she knew what she was in for...I think we cleaned the place out. As you can see from the pictures I think Sadie loved hers the best. Thanks grandma Kriss

Bond family pictures....

20 people strong.....

kaka and paige....so cute!

This is our little family....so cute!

For Christmas all the kids gave Ryan's mom a picture package to be taken after a few more babies were born and we finally did a few weeks ago....it was prom night and so the park we took the pictures at was packed with all the formal pictures and fancy dresses, it was cute. The pictures turned out great....trying to get that many kids smiling and looking at the same place at the same time.
