Should I do what Uncle Andy says and kiss daddy?
Brad was making fun of someone in this picture, and he ends up looking like Fire Marshall Bill.
Always it's Leiden that brings out the laughs in Mac.
Mac's head glows like that of a wee angel. What a halo.
Gap-toothed grin.
Andy's emphasis is on weddings, after all!
To Andy's credit, he did not tell us to do this annoying pose. It was something our videographer at our wedding wanted us to do, and here we are, making fun of him all these years later.
When we choose the nice one to be blown up large scale, maybe we'll put up some more. Andy did a great job and is very good at what he does. Thanks, Andy!
Weekly Goals revisited:
It was pretty daring of me to put my goals out there where everyone can read (all 3 of you who read this:), but it keeps me honest. Honest to the point of pain when I have to report that my goals were not met this week! Here's the rundown.
1. Reading scriptures in front of your children is hard. Anyone have any suggestions?
2. I ran 5 times this week. If I don't get out of bed and do it immediately, it pretty much doesn't get done. Sleep or exercise? I guess it depends on the night. I have no idea whether any weight was lost this week or not.
3. Dress pattern pieces were not cut out this week. I discovered the excitement of Facebook. If you've not heard of it or tried it, check it out.
4. Leiden's quiet book materials lay where they have for weeks now.
5. The treats kind of evened out, although that's not the point. There were a couple days that I ate NO treats, and then a couple days where there was more than one.
In short, all my goals will be reinstated for this coming week. I do have to say, however, that my having written them here and knowing others were looking, I have thought more about them than I have ever previously thought about goals I have made. Thanks for the support--even if you didn't know you were supporting! Let's root for new goals next week instead of these boring re-do's. It's all up to me. Great.

So so so cute! I have been wanting to get our family picture taken I have got to get on the ball! About the goals... remember it is what we DO do, not what we don't do! Be easy on yourself. You get alot done, way more than most of us!
I love the pics and miss the gorgeous scenery this time of year there. You guys all look so good. I love your whole outfit, but especially your sweater and I love your hair. Leiden's tooth (no tooth) is so cute. It makes her look older than she is because most little girls who's teeth fall out are six or eight. It's fun to see your pics. Thanks for sharing!
If those are the outtakes I can't wait to see the good ones.
They look great - absolutely beautiful, really! I love the ones of you and Mac and Leiden is just adorable. One thing that's helped with scriptures for us is teaching Luke some of the words or letters as we go along, asking him what letters are or to sound out words. Then at least he's (sometimes) looking at the page. And we keep it short :)
Cute pics! We get ours in between sessions on Sunday up the canyon with my sis-in-law behind the camera. I need an email address for you. Here is mine...jrktnewman@gmail.com
So cute! I love Mac's tiny felt flower!
Mercedes - I love these shots especially the one with Mac up in the air! We need to get some family photos done but I keep hoping to lose 20 pounds first. BTW, I love the new layout of your blog!
LOVE the pics! Great job! Does Andy want to come visit Oregon? Way to go on your goals though too...maybe I should do that, but you are more daring than I am. Miss you!
Mercedes your little family is so adorable. I'm glad you sent me the link to your blog so I could catch up on what you've been doing lately. Your pictures turned out great!
