Spokane - Family Pictures!

Saturday morning we got ready and headed to Sue and Richard's house for breakfast. We had pancakes and Swedish pancakes. YUMMY! The kids played for a while until we had to leave to go get ready for family pictures. I also wanted to make sure that the kids got a nap so we didn't have cranky children that night.
Ella and Claire had a tea party.

That morning at breakfast Jett slipped and hit his eye on a chair. It instantly got red and I knew he would definitey have a mark for pictures. He's a boy...I guess it makes him look tough...right? When we were walking out the door Ava got a bloody nose. First and only one she had on this trip but of course the blood got on her clean white shirt she was wearing for pictures. I scrubbed that shirt like no other and the blood luckily came out. The shirt was pretty wet from all my scrubbing so I was rushing to dry it and had to hand it out the window on the way to pictures. Picture drama!

The kids all did really well. We managed to get a really cute family picture with all the Imblers/Niemi's. We are still waiting to see the others but I am sure they are also super cute. We took the pictures at Manito Park across from Richard and Sue's house. This time of year is perfect since the flower gardens are in bloom.

Some of the pictures I took while we wait for each family to get their individual family pictures.

This is my favorite picture of Cirdan and his dad. Definitely one that will go in a frame.

Andy...

This was so cute. The kids were playing tag and Ella just wanted to sit in the grass and pout. Joshua went over there and protected her from the kids. He was walking around her being her body guard.

Look at that good lookin' guy

Some one's dog got loose and ran over to our group. The owner came running after him but the kids were having fun with the dog so the owner stayed for a bit so that they could play. The dog and kids were all having fun.

Kaiya was mad at me. Can you tell?

Yep...here is another for a frame. :)
