Seattle - Part 7 - The Family Pictures



Matt with his sister Shannon and her husband Tom. We had our family pictures taken at their house about 4 years ago...so they hosted the whole family for dinner again, invited the same photographer back, and had our family pictures done again. If you were wondering, yes, I snuck in some pic's with my own camera, I know...I can't help it.








It's a bird, it's a plane, nope...it's Madison!


For some reason, Matt couldn't get the same air with Ryan...



...or Jabe - but he had fun trying. What a great Uncle!


Isaac & Ashley




Jabe ~




The upcoming Freshman - cousins.

Matt's Family ~ this is a priceless photo.





Madison loves her daddy & her Grandpa.


After the photo session was over, Grandpa & Papa Tom enjoyed watching the boys play basketball.















I'm proud to say, my husband can totally hang with the...younger crowd. Although honey, I think you officially only have a few years left...so enjoy while you still can.



It was a nice evening at Shannon's house spending time with family.


Grandpa & Alyssa...she wanted a picture with JUST her grandpa.


Grandpa & Mia...so did Mia.


For this photo alone, that took all of one second to take...was worth the whole entire trip. Yes, God...you do make beautiful things.

Seattle - Part 6 - Ashley's New Do










A special treat for Ashley - getting her hair done in Bellevue at Molly &...(?) Her Aunt's, Grandpa, & Grandma thought it would be great to have her high light her hair back to it's original color.





When we picked her up, she wasn't so sure...she was used to it being pretty dark. I loved it! SO of course, she had to have a photo shoot: by her Aunt Kirsten.









Naturally Mia wanted to have a photo shoot too...






Next up is a hair cut for Mia!







Can't forget about Madison, she wanted to 'run' in the field...she's really jsut lifting up her leg. Oh my, she's so funny.



Off to play football at the park...boys will be boys. I'm surprised Matt can even fit into a Mini!
