Family Pictures

We decided to take our family picture in the soybean field behind our house this fall because the soybeans were such a pretty color.

The whole family

We didn't have anyone to take these pictures, so we put the camera on the tripod and set it on a timer. It's hard to get good pictures that way!

Emily and Amanda left this morning on a trip to Niagara Falls with our grandmother. They have taken the camera with them, so we probably won't have any pictures to post this week. Be sure to check back for pictures from their trip in about a week.

Celebrating at Papa's

We celebrated Independence Day and Mama Flo's birthday with some of Daddy's side of the family last week. Grilling the hamburgers and hot dogs Eating home-made ice creamOur little friend Bethany was with us and she and our cousin Allie had fun playing together. Here they're walking down the rows of soybeans in front of the house.
