Fall Family Photo Shoot

I'm playing catch up today, chipping away at several things that have needed to be done for a while.  One of the tasks was getting yellow stains out of my white shirts - exciting, I know.  I was going through some of our pictures from the last year and realized how behind I am in documenting our lives.  I think the house has pretty much consumed me.  So, I thought I'd at least post a few pictures that my mom took when she was visiting last fall.  It was kind of an impromptu photo shoot one night after Jim got home from work.  There is a tree lined street near us and I've always thought it would be such a great place to take pictures so I quickly got everyone ready and we headed out, hoping to get at least one picture for our Christmas Card.

I loved this one of the girls.

A little awkward but I loved the colors.

This is the one we ended up using for our card.  Not perfect and I didn't like the color as much as the one above but at least we all looked semi-normal :).

Thanks Mom - not such a shabby photographer!

Boating Adventures

Last winter we had a little mishap with the drift boat Jim had been using (I can't say it was ours because it technically wasn't).  It got crushed in a shed when the roof caved in from snow.  Jim thought that it was time to get our (his) own boat so he found an old jet boat that he figured would be a little more "family friendly" because it can hold more people and is more kid friendly than a drift boat since you're not having to row constantly.  We've taken it out a few times.  The first time the engine died on Blacktail in the middle of the lake.  I think Jim was having some buyers remorse.  But, after some tuning up we've been able to take it out a few times as a family on the river.  It's fun, I guess.

Jim loves it.  This was at Red Fish Lake.

Can you tell it's not my favorite thing?
(I look pretty awful...I was just getting over the stomach flu).  
I'm trying to like it.  Maybe it'll grow on me.

I'm not sure it's Paige's favorite thing either.

Unless she's driving.

Hailey and Crew like it because they get to drink soda which is a rare treat.

Indie LOVES it.

Crew is happy anytime he's hanging out with his BEST BUDDY Dad.

It is really neat when you spot some wild life. 
We saw a pair of moose one day.

A rare spotting for sure.
It was Papa Red when he had to dive in and untangle some moss from the engine.

What a trooper...I'm really hoping that's never me.
