family pics 2011

bwa ha ha! this one cracks me up.

love this. sam was a little camera-shy, and he kept losing it. so here is jack trying to take care of the situation.

again, jack trying to take care of sam, but he's too engrossed with this ancient book mckenzie brought entitled "watches: adjustment and repair".

the claw.

pure yumminess. the brilliance that is mckenzie never disappoints. check her out on my sidebar under mckenzie's photos.

drill time

we had drills here the other day. sam was commander in chief. he'd say "the lamanites are coming! the lamanites are coming!" then he'd say "march!" and he'd lead shawn and jack around the island. then he ordered, "DROP YOUR SWORDS." so they'd drop them (below). he would tell them very seriously, "never fight. never fight." then he'd yell "the lamanites are coming! the lamanites are coming!" and it would start all over again.

the fearless general. and strong. and handsome.
i tell you, soooo much personality in this little body.

best buds

more lines

more ocd line-ups. i love the bottom pic, cuz it has the cups in the background. that's how it is, you walk around the house and there are little line-ups in different spots. so funny. the other day, we were eating dinner at my parents house and sam went outside on the back patio while we were inside eating. i look out and sam had lined up the patio chairs in a perfect line, perfectly straight, perfectly lined up. like 8 chairs. when do you start to worry?
