Sunday pictures....

So every once in a while when we are actually running on time on a Sunday morning which is pretty rare, I like to get a family picture. Right now it's pretty fresh in my mind the pure chaos that went on before this picture, the lost shoes, lost toothbrushes, digging threw laundry mounds for lost shirts, the lost brush, the amount of time to do every one's hair only to have them roll all over the bed and wreck it minutes after it was done, the dirty kitchen I was grumpy about, the grumpy kids cause it was fast Sunday and they were hungry, the struggle on what to wear to church cause nothing seems to fit me right, and the rush to get all 8 of us showered and bathed cause we didn't do it the night before. I wonder if 20 years from now I'll look at this almost perfect picture and think, man I really had it all together back then or if I'll remember the crazy Sunday morning routine?! I hope I don't forget these years cause as crazy and busy as they are I love them!

So mad about the piano bench the camera was set on. Brette I need a little photoshop done. While your at it maybe photoshop out Briggs's hand. Of course he had to be doing that cause that's just him.


And I love this picture. I look at it and honestly can't believe that all these kids are mine. I still find myself in awe some days that I actually have six kids that I get to raise cause half the time I still feel like a kid myself.
