i've decided to do this. i've been hesitant to jump on board because i figured i could never manage to get us all in a photo without causing unnecessary stress. but no more. if i make it a priority, it will happen. and it's not going to be stressful. it's just going to be us. however we are. i'm a little late with march but here it is.
this is our six people project.
march started with sickness and ended the same way. it has circled through each of us twice. only jeff was spared. lucky him.
after over a year and a half of going the rounds with doctors and evaluations of lincoln's torticollis, we may have found an answer. i cried the whole way home from the appointment. mostly in gratitude for receiving an answer. i'm still skeptical but i have hope.
ella turned 5 with a bang. her party was my pet project. with all of the combined celebrations, i think her birthday lasted for 3 weeks. lucky her.
spring break took us to california and utah. on a saturday at 5pm, i told jeff i wanted to get outta town. he obliged my spontaneity and we packed and left by 8pm. mental note: driving through the night is not fun. being spontaneous can sometimes equal being stupid.
we spent ella's birthday in cali and then headed utah to celebrate my mom's b-day with her. lots of driving. lots of great conversations with jeff. realized that we love the journey together…wherever we are going.
then we brought grandma and grandpa back to arizona with us. grandpa is an amazing handy man. he fixed all of our broken things and even planted a garden. i love my parents.
i also love arizona in march. the weather is heavenly. …but hell is around the corner. i need a serious attitude adjustment about the summer. it is unbecoming of me. i am promising from this time forward to be cheerful. complaining brings nothing but cankles.
we've had more family photos this month than in two years. thanks to a photo booth outside of Last Chance and grandma. she took our picture this month in our easter festives. we look pretty much the same as two years ago…plus one child. 🙂

What a Great Idea!! I don’t know if I can do it, but I will try along with you…maybe Ha Ha 🙂
you guys look so cute! I thought about doing this, but there is no way I could get a three year old, a 9 month old (and especially the husband!!) to cooperate. I cannot wait to see your pictures though 🙂
Love the highlights of the month format! And what cute pics!!! Hats off to photo booths.
and grandmas.
LOVE this! I need to do more family photos. I also wish we had a rockin’ photo booth! Those pictures are great.
Lastly, I would gladly suffer through the AZ heat. Wanna trade? lol Working on my adjustment this year!
