Turley Family Photos– December 2011

My mom really wanted family pictures while all of us siblings and our families were in town. We couldn’t find a photographer, so since we have a camera and tripod, we took them. I made some mistakes, but for the most part, I think they turned out pretty good. Especially considering that I had to set the camera timer on for the big group photos and then run into the pictures. I should have zoomed in closer to some of the big family pictures, but I learned a lot and we got family photos accomplished!

Dad and Mom (aka Robert and Meralee)

Thanks goes out to Laun and my siblings who helped take pictures and arrange people for photos. And for dad and mom on raising such a stellar family.

Prepping for pictures

I am taking family pictures today for my parents, their children & grandchildren. I decided to go to the park to look for some spots where I wanted to take the pictures later today. The kids were pretty patient as we looked around.

 

They were excited to find a mamma chicken with her chicks. 

 

Love this-

11 years tomorrow…

With my parents & the Layton’s watching our kiddos, Laun & I went out to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary (which is tomorrow).

We went to a museum, but I couldn’t take many pictures because they restrict it in most parts.

 

This hanging wood on strings was probably my favorite piece.

 

Tonight we went out to dinner at Pappadeaux for a seafood dinner. We got our usual calamari for an appetizer.

I am so thankful to Laun. He always brings excitement to my life. I love you always Laun! Happy 11 years!

The kids had a fun filled day with their Aunt Laura & Uncle Justin

Our anniversary is tomorrow, so Laun & I are celebrating. Since we are in Phoenix already to be with family, we took off & the Layton’s watched our kids today.

They took them to the Phoenix Zoo & took lots of great pictures for us-

 

Cutest kids ever!

 

They are so lucky to have Aunt Laura & Uncle Justin- they are so fun!

 

Getting a little too close to the animals:

 

I think they like the animal statues.

 

With Grandpa & Grandma Turley:

 

 

A bunch of monkeys:

 

The kids had so much fun.

 

After the zoo the kids went swimming at the Layton’s house.

 

In the car they listened to a book on a CD.

They had a great day. Thanks to the Layton’s & my parents for watching our kiddos.
