FAMILY PICTURES 2012

Our family feels so complete now that little Em is a part of it. I couldn't wait to take these! Michelle did an amazing job, as usual. :)

To start... a pic of Em

The family...

Proof that she really does cry!

(It's rare but it does happen... and she's still so cute!)

And while I fed Em, Michelle took some of Geoff & the kids...

UTAH TRIP

We went up to Utah for a fun, busy and long weekend. We left Wednesday bright and early and drove up to Utah and got home last night. We had a baptism and a baby blessing to go to so we decided to make it a long weekend so I would still have time with one of my bestest friends Michelle and also see Tammy and Kevin. Michelle also took our family pictures, Cali's 4 year pictures and Em's 6 month pictures (she's only 5 months... but since we were there!) It was pretty busy trying to fit everything in. I didn't take very many pictures the whole time we were there but here are the ones we took...
(ok... so I took lots of pictures just not of everything, only certain things)

Em's 1st road trip!!

(she did great!)

We had some thunderstorms on our way so we saw some rainbows...

After a trip to Chik-fil-a with Michelle & Stella the kids fell asleep...

(I thought it was funny that they both had their lunch boxes with the same hand on them)

While we were out and about on Friday we did some shopping. While Geoff was in a store with the 3 kids (Em was with me), he took this picture of them with hats on.  Aren't they the cutest? :)

Girls Night!! All of the Douglas women at Olive Garden...

We went running around in the rain with Michelle & Stella...

Aedan & Stella had a BLAST! They were soaked!

All the Douglas kids jumped on the trampoline...

Cali would fall over...

and then get bounced around...

(she thought it was hilarious!)

Aedan like this random leaf...

We decided to leave Sunday night :( to get a head start and try to miss all the crazy traffic from Vegas to L.A. It was a good thing we did!! We stopped in Cedar City on Sunday night and stayed in a hotel there. The kids shared a bed. I thought they looked pretty cute all tucked in.

In the morning they looked like this and it made me laugh...

We stopped in Vegas to have an early lunch with Lisa & Wade and then headed home. There was still a little traffic but I think we missed the worst of it.

RELAXING

Em has learned that you can lay on your tummy and RELAX! So instead of getting frustrated she just lays her head down and chills for a few minutes until she's ready to lift it again. Sometimes she sucks her thumb.

For some reason she looks cranky in this picture. :)

2ND DAY

Just for fun I took pictures of the kids on their second day of school. Cali was wearing new shoes and was excited about it (they aren't supposed to wear new clothes due to painting, crafts, ect).
