Family Pictures

Jeff and I went to NWA on the afternoon of July 2nd in order to spend time with "all" our family before Josh, Michelle and Avi move to Tennessee.  Mom (Grandma) joined us.  Our plans were to eat together, then find a pretty grassy green area to take some family pictures, then go and watch the fireworks at the Cross Church Pinnacle campus.

However, the weather had other plans 😕💦.  It started raining just as we were finishing up with our meal at Olive Garden, so we had to come up with Plan B, which was to go to Metro Church in Centerton (where Andy pastors and all the kids are members) and take the pictures indoors.  I appreciate Jonathan in using his camera and tripod to take the pictures!  By time we finished with the pictures, it was pouring!  So instead of fireworks, we finished the evening with ice cream at Braums.  

 Since it was the 4th of July weekend, 

I requested red, white and blue 😍😍

And a couple with great Grandma Boore

 

 Better picture of kids, but Grandma forgot to smile 😊

 Andy's family

 Shep is just like Laine was as a toddler -- no smiles, silly boy!

 Josh's family (they have now moved to Nashville.  We will miss not having them close, but so excited for them and the new chapter in their lives!)

 Shep was Avi's shadow that night and ran up to her and wanted to be in their picture 💙

 Rachel's family.  By this point, Eisley was "done" with picture taking!

 Finally got a little smile out of her 💖

 Jeff and I with our kids....hard to believe we have gone from a family of 5 to a family of 15!! 😍

 Dad with his pride and joy

 And Mom with hers!!!  

Thanks, family, for indulging me.  Sure do love my family and are so very thankful for each one!! ♥♥
