Holy Cornholio! Those are fantabulous and that last one looks like it belongs in a commercial publication. What a good lookin fam!

You are gorgeous and your fam is gorgeous! Am loving the creative background----goes so well with the whole pic!

Vanessa said...

Excuse me, but are you a supermodel? They turned out amazing!

Did Russ carry that couch up the mountain on his back? Just wondering.

Vanessa said...

PS, did you see that Joseph Smith commented on your blog? That is funny right there!

Pretty much America's Next Top Model material. Tiny bit jealous that I don't have my own husband and kids just for the "family photo" session.

Aimee said...

This has to be my most favoritest family photo backdrop ever. Just gorgeous! ...and St. George looks pretty, too. ;)

Holly H. said...

Breathtaking. I can't believe the last one especially. When I see photos like this, I get super jealous that I don't live down there! You're family is GORGEOUS!!

Mrs Anne said...

Tiffany said...

Gorgeous family, gorgeous background, gorgeous photos! How fun!

Totally LOL at Vanessa's J.S. comment.

The pics are gorgeous. Do you know how long it's been since we've had a family pic? Let's just say that there were only three of us, and that third person is now 13.

Stream of consciousness as I look at these:

All the sexy people live in St George.

I need to burn my family and start over.

I wanna grow up and be just like you.

Mindi bathes in the blood of virgins

Russ is a hunka hunka burnin' love.

How stunning are your girls?

AMAZING photos!!!!

They all turned out great! Now we need JH to get his braces off and we will be in business...

kami @ nobiggie.net said...

Yay! The bottom one is my favorite! You got it...the "at twilight" pic. I can tell it's newer because Abbey has bangs. I hope it ends up big and framed on your wall with all of your black sharpies locked up. :)

Cole said...

Love the umbrella...ella...ellla...ella...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Alyssa said...

Those are stunning! The one on the couch that matches the rock almost exactly makes it look like your family is just rising right out of the sandstone. Gorgeous!
