We went and had family pictures taken in July. It was great to finally get new ones that include Chase. We had a really friendly photographer who was patient and took a bunch of pictures of us. She did a great job and took alot of different arrangements and even solo pictures of everyone.

I also decided to write a little something about each one of us. It's just a few things I thought of about each person. I'm sure there's much more I could say, but they're just little tidbits. Enjoy!
Armani. At 20, he's the oldest kid, and a one-of-a-kind quick wit. He's also really competitive and into sports.When he's done with school and work, you can usually find him socializing or planning his next weekend fun with friends 'cause he's oh so popular and such a fun dude. ;)
Mya, age 19. I love to read, and chat with friends. I tend to joke alot, and like to laugh. I love little children and making them smile. I'm hoping to be a missionary/teacher someday.
Kyle. He's a 17 year old fashion king. Seriously, this guy is great at matching outfits, shopping it up and showing off his newest style. He also enjoys working hard, helping people and giving stuff away. He's a really nice guy, inside and out.
Kristyn, age 14. She enjoys spending time with family and friends. She's a good helper and shows off her hair doing talent on all the little sisters. when she's not keeping order amongst and helping teach the litle ones, Kristyn likes to hang out at the library looking for her next great read.
Terrence II (T2), is 12 years old. He's very competitive and loves to play sports. It's not uncommon to see him orchestrating activities for the younger kids. He's very playful and energetic and loves to make people laugh. T2 always seems to have a good book on hand and probably spends the most time reading. And in case you don't know from the blog, he's very photogenic!
Summyrrh (Pronounced Summer). She's 11 years old and loves to remind T2 that shes less than a year younger than him! Summyrrh loves to play outside, read books, and bake. She also enjoys leading the younger girls in original games and activities.
Autumn, age 9. She's practically twins with Summyrrh. She loves to be outside riding her bike, playing at thje park, or doing pretty much anything. Auty also likes to spend time with her friends, and help in the kitchen.
MIcah, sge 7. Micah loves to run around and play with her sisters and friends. She is a sweetheart and has a hard time saying no to any favor. She loves to help people, and doesn't want to see anyone sad. Micah always looks out for Chase, and wants to comfort him when he cries. Micah can usually be seen tagging along with Summyrh and Auty in their games.
Justus, age 5. Judd, has no problem setting himself apart from the "Little Girls". He's a super energetic, rough and tumble boy. He loves to play wrestle with Chase, compete in sports with T2, and run with his friends.Justus is very outgoing, and loves to talk and laugh.
Chase is 1 year old. He is very fun and playful, and loves to run. Mom says he was named just right since we are always having to chase him. He loves to mimick words he hears, and things he sees. Chase also loves any kind of ball, and his favorite things to say include "Cookie", "No, no" and "Ew, Ew, Ew!".
Mom. She's the one that keeps everything together. She loves God and her family and shows it every day. She manages to run her bakery, homeschool, ref, encourage, and mentor all the kids, and be a great "help meet" for dad all at the same time. She shows us a wonderful example of a good wife and mother. Her entire family knows she loves us very much abd would do anything to be a blessing to us.
Dad. He takes care of us all and provides everything we need. He also goes out of his way to give us tons of gifts and extrs fun. He loves to play with all the kids and make us all laugh. Dad encourages us to do our best and always tells us and Mom that he loves us.
