Family Pics

A few weeks ago we had

family pictures done.

They turned out so well,

I love them!

But can I just say that family

pictures are HARD.

Coordinating outfits,

finding a photographer,

finding a location,

finding a time that works for everyone,

and then...

getting your kids to smile!

ugh.

Greta was a little devil child

that day.

It was nearly impossible to get her

to hold still, and she screamed

almost the whole time.

Good thing we had an awesome

photographer who managed to get some

good shots or her.

And it is a really good thing

she is so cute!

i seriously love this picture!

i look like i am lovingly looking at my daughter

but i am so annoyed!

this one cracks me up

I am just a little relieved these

are all over with!
Thanks to Erin for taking

beautiful pictures!

Check her out she is great!

Halloween

Since it is almost Thanksgiving

I figured I better blog about Halloween!

Greta is obsessed with Elmo

so when I found an Elmo costume

online for $16 I about died.

They are usually around $40!

She had a fun time trick or treating with

her cousins, and loved the candy!

trying to get a picture of her and her "punkin"

trick or treating with berk

 

Berk and Grets

 

it is hard for kurt to take a normal picture

swim time!

a couple days ago we took this little

monkey swimming.

she was having the time of her life

playing in the water,

watching the other kids,

(she loves to stare at other people, it is one of her favorite pastimes)

and

walking around.

she did have a little accident

when she slipped straight back

and hit her head,

but she is good!

i am in love with her little mermaid swimsuit too.

grets has no idea who she is,

but i had to buy it for her

because i was obsessed with ariel

when i was little and i had a

little mermaid swimsuit

that i LOVED.

i remember begging my mom to buy

it for me at the disney store

and i wore it all summer

until it tore at stupid raging waters!

so when i saw this one for $10 i could not pass it up.

and of course this hottie was there!

summer time in pictures

strawberry days anymore?

fireworks

i love this picture of grets and kurt's parents..

happy fathers day to you

happy fathers day kurt,

disneyland...

... this post is about 3 weeks late!

warning, picture overload...

day 1

on the shuttle to dland!

on our first ride

the jungle cruise,

greta loved it!

everyone on the dumbo ride

(except kurt, he says it makes him sick!)

♥♥♥

day 2

enjoying a lovely dip in the pool!

we thought grets would love it like she did last summer,

but no such luck...

she lasted 5 minutes

back at dland

me and chlo,

i am practicing my cheesy smile

here we are on tower of terror,

it is not a very good picture

but i love bo's face!

we told him we were going on an elevator

and he loved it!

disneyland truly is a magical place,

greta has never eaten or slept so much

as she did there!

as you can tell from this picture,

this is when all hell broke loose

and kurt started feeling sick!

♥♥♥

day 3

last day!

( i realize my pose in this picture is extremely unflattering but i had to post is because it is the only family shot i have!)

grets on the pier

♥♥♥

on our way home we stopped at the beach.

grets was loving the sand!

the end!

despite the drive, the heat, and kurt getting pneumonia

it was such a fun trip!
