About a year ago, my good friend Allison started copying me on email conversations with her friend Sara. Sara has a blog, and I laugh hysterically at her witty posts over her kids playing with sitzbaths, getting stuck in jeans, and her crazy family antics (Sara, we Indian wrestle at our family dinners!!!). Sara is so real about her family in such a self-depracating way, I just KNOW she would fit in SO well with my family!!!
A couple of months ago, in another email conversation, Sara said she'd always wanted family pictures done in the snow. So, we watched the weather, and after a few unsuccessful scheduling attempts, we got it done!!! And, while I love the images (you know how I love laughing-family-pictures!), what I love the most is that after a year of emailing back and forth, I FINALLY got to meet Sara!!!
Thank you, Sara, for enduring the cold...and for making me smile during the day with your sense of humor!!
Below are a few of my favorites. Click here for a few more!
Oldest daughter Abby is BEAUTIFUL...I love her smile...and her cheeks!!
Ummm....this image makes me think there may be some fun teenage years in store for Sara!!
But could a mom and dad say 'no' to this face....angel, I say, angel!!!
Little sister Katie wanted NOTHING to do with the camera....but I SOOO wanted a picture of those eyes!!!
Sara, we got it!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE laughing family pictures. And, yes, mom, I know they're not all looking at the camera, but that's the point!!!
Husbands are not always willing participants in family pictures...usually, it's more of a hostage situation. I think Jason told her, after an hour in the freezing cold, 'never again, Sara!'......I'm hoping he meant pictures in the snow and not family pictures in general!
Jason, do you forgive Sara and I now???Thanks for checking in! Blessings! Kelly

AH - the camo.... Jason will be so happy!!
Kelly - it was great to finally meet you too. I am glad that you enjoy my humor - not everyone gets it - so glad to find someone who does! :-) I feel honored to be listed as the 6th sister! You can be the 5th in my family - I'll even throw in a brother if you want!
The pictures are AWESOME!! Thank you again for making it work to take them in the snow! I love them!
Oh and regarding Abby - she does have her daddy wrapped around her little finger - it's been that way since the day she was born! ;-)
Well, Sara, I'll be honest, my aunt has always considered herself the sixth sister...so, maybe you're the seventh! Or, maybe you could Indian leg wrestle for the sixth position...she has a gimp leg, so I think you could probably take her! :)
LOL - how old is she - i need her to probably be at least 99 with a gimp leg to give me a chance!! But I'll take the challenge.
Let's rumble! :-)
I'm SO going laugh when she reads these comments! She's spunky and might give you a challenge...even with a gimp leg!
Hahahaha it cracks me up to imagine GAG wrestling.... I enjoyed that conversation ALMOST as much as the pictures. Kelly - these turned out sooooo good! I love the bright colors against the white snow and they are such a good looking family in the first place! After the teaser photo I had been checking the blog every day waiting for the rest :) Braving the snow looked totally worth it.

ok - I know I never comment on the blogs - but totally totally enjoy all of them. I am at work reading this and having to explain why I am laughing so hard. BTW - I thoroughly enjoy all the pics and videos. Keep 'em coming!

okay, let's set the record straight. Since I am the oldest of us six girls I would therefore be the FIRST sister. I believe that ruthie gave birth to me first and gave me to her mom to raise because she was soooo young! No leg wrestling needed, I WIN!!
