Mustache's and More

Did you ever wonder what Jordan would look like with long hair? Or what Judd would look like with a handlebar mustache? Well, here is your chance to see. Thanks Taylor for giving us a glimpse of something we should never hope to see in real life. Don't get any ideas Judd!

Sunset on Erie

Just tilt your head to look at the other picture. This is such a beautiful lake! I could not resist to take some pics!

Gettin' Down & Dirty

When Brigham is given a job, he really gets into it! These are photos of him on the day we started our family garden. Russ accidently ran over the water pipe with the tractor and broke it. Well, it was Brigham to the rescue. He was eager to help fix the problem, but in the process he got kind of dirty. Ya just got to love the dirty smiling face. Way to go Briggly!

Briggy's Sweet Skills

I am not sure how many of you know this, but Brigham is a pretty darn talented photographer. He has a great eye for poses and a is really creative. For a boy who is not quite 12, this is quite impressive. Whenever he is around he likes to use my camera so later when I go and look at the pictures I usually find a few surprises from him.

Notice the aperture on the one below? He managed to get the background all blurry with just me and Kimber in focus. You generally have to know what you are doing to get that!

Good work Brig!

Happy Birthday Allie Cat!

Allie- happy birthday! You are such a great sister in law! I am positive that you and Travis were meant to be together. Not only are you a great couple but there are very few people in this world who can survive life as a Richardson if you weren't born as raised as one.

(The same goes for Briana.)

Thank you for everything that you bring into the family...laughter, love, Cooper, happiness, optimism, Cooper, creativity, style and so much more. Oh, wait...did I mention Cooper? (I just love that kid. He plays one mean game of Don't Eat Pete.)

Hope it's a happy one!

SUNSET SHOTS

well me and Elder Clawson just couldnt miss this opportunity of such a SWEET shot. so we had to take a few pictures

Enough is Enough!!

Have we had enough health issues yet? Dad and his multitude of problems...back pain, kidney stone, heart surgery. Brigham with a broken arm. Gram with her health issues. Now me of all people with a broken foot. Did I ask for this? I don't think so. You are probably wondering what I did to break my foot. I wish I knew. It started hurting on Tuesday and by Wednesday I was really in pain. I went to the Dr. and it took him less than 5 minutes to give me a diagnosis. A stress fracture! Yuk! I have to wear this black boot for 6 to 12 weeks. Where do I go to get the designer version anyway? Will I miss a day of school? No way! I will even be there for our zoo fieldtrip on Friday. I will just have to sit and watch (Dr.'s orders). Yeah, and he also said (I kid you not) no cooking, no doing dishes, laundry, mopping, etc. Keep the foot elavated. He said read a book or put on your favorite video. Hey Briana can I borrow that vampire book? I think I am going to have lots of time to read.

MEET CLAWSON

so the family got a dog charlie. well i got a new companion ELDER CLAWSON. he is cool. i like the big posters he brought in. they rock!

Meet Charlie

Meet Charlie! He resembles a Minpin, but in reality he is a mutt. He weighs in at 3 pounds and is full of fun. We love him...okay I love him. He is a dream come true for me. Thanks Taylor for locating Charlie and helping me live my dream of having a little dog. He is just right! I have included a short video of Annie playing with Charlie. Sorry it isn't more eventful. P.S. Grandma has the sister to Charlie. Maybe later I'll post a picture of Charlie and Maggie together.
