Good Luck finding the right color and remember your shirts don't all have to be the exact same color there is a variety of shades and that is okay. Besides it doesn't really matter what we wear cause we are all hot anyway!!!

Victory!!! (maybe)

Okay I swear this will probably be my last post about family pictures ha ha ha!!! I think that we have found a building to do the shoot in (thanks mom). I am just waiting for an email from the photographer. So now I need to approach the minor details such as: what is the best time for everyone (take in to consideration nap time and such), I thought maybe 10ish but I don't know, and mom is not sure on all white shirts because she doesn't want to wear white so would everyone be open to each individual family wearing a different color? or does anyone have another idea, we could do all black?!? Ideas would be greatly appreciated I think we are still shooting for the jeans theme so please leave me your thoughts. We can't wait to see everyone and hope that all is going well lots of love.

More photo stuff...

Sorry my posts have been pretty boring lately but, I really am trying to get this whole thing organized. So here is my dilema I really really like the photographers at the frame (that is the link that i left last time) but we are in need of an amazing (indoors) place for the photo shoot to take place. So PLEASE if anyone can think of a great place leave me a little comment I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully in or around Idaho Falls as we will all be up here. We still have a couple other photographers but most of them do not give any copyright and for $250 we get the copyright to 22 shots plus have two photographers. Chelsey has been calling around to but alot of the photographers either don't have a studio or don't have one big enough for 25ish people so once again think think think of a great space to take pictures.

Possible photographer

Hey everybody!!! I am making a little bit of progress on organizing our family photograph. I would like you to check out this website and see what you think of these two: www.theframe.me. A couple of friends of ours had them take their family pictures and they were amazing, the only downfall is that we would have to find somewhere to have them taken as they don't have a studio!?! Although I did email them and Bree said that she could start thinking of different places, I told her that we would probably need to be inside because of all our little ones. Also we were kind of thinking everybody in jeans and white shirts? or is that a little to common? Let me know the input is greatly appreciated!!!

Pumpkin Carving with Grandma and Grandpa

On Saturday night we decided to go over to Grandma and Grandpa's with Abby to carve her first pumpkin. I wasn't really sure how she would react to the texture of the insides and just as I suspected she didn't really care for it to much. We did get her to touch it a little bit but then she wanted to wash her hands. So while Tyler and Grandpa carved Abby washed her hands for a long time in Grandma's sink. Before I knew it she was naked inside Grandma's sink ( with a little help from Grandma I think!!!) Here's the proof of our fun night:

Abby digging out the insides with Grandpa and a lot of encourgement.

She did like the tools.

Washing her hands (but somehow the sink filled up, cups appeared, and her shirt got soaked I wonder how that happened?)

Eventually all the clothes came off and she ended up in the sink fascinated because she could turn the water on and off. The only problem was she kept turning it to cold!! Meanwhile:

The dads were left to carve the pumpkins!! It's funny how that always happens.

The final products Tyler and Dad did a great job!!! And we had tons of fun. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us make a mess at your house!!! Love you guys!

New Family Pictures Anyone???

So I was thinking that at Christmas time we should get a new family picture taken. Profesionally not in Mom's basement! If anyone is also thinking this is a good idea get back with me and we will try and get that set up!!! There is a guy in our ward who has a studio just down the road and he does a pretty good job he takes the Butikofer family pictures. So please let me know I really think that this should be done. Thanks.

I'm an Auntie!!! (again)

Elizabeth Marie Wilson is here she was born October 4 at 11:23 a.m. She was only 6lbs and 181/2 inches long so she is tiny but beautiful. I can't believe babies can even be that small she feels like your not holding anything. I don't have any pictures yet because Keith took our camera on vacation bummer!!! Hopefully I will have some soon. She has to stay in the NICU for a couple of days just as a precaution so she will probably be home on Wednesday. Congratulations Tenille and Grant she is gorgeous!!!! You can see some pictures of her on my mom's blog just click on the link to the right.
