An Emmett New Year's Eve

After this post I am finally caught up! Two days after Christmas we made the drive up to Emmett to spend a week with Adam's family! We had a great time and we wish we could make it up there more often.
The only day I got my camera out was New Year's Eve so here are some fun pictures mostly of Lydie and her little cousins!

Aunt Katrina and baby Will on the right. They had some friends that came over for their New Year's Eve Party

Adam trying to figure out my camera...

Carly playing with Uncle Adam. She warmed up to him some days!

Seriously?!

That's better.

The next group of pictures was our attempt at getting them all to sit together...

the ONLY one of all 3 of them. Stinkers. 

They love their Uncle Lucas!

Pouty face.. 

And that's all folks! I know there are several people who aren't liking my lack of blogging lately, but I have made it a resolution to try better this year! I have a ton of photos on my phone from Instagram so maybe I will try and figure out how to post those since some of you can't see those! It's the new way of documenting your everyday life :)

Briscoe Family Photos

I'm just going to skip my comments about being a slacker, because I am very much aware that I am! 

STILL posting about our Emmett trip in................July. This is the last one though! We dedicated one morning to getting family pictures (which to most of them, is the worst thing ever! Including Adam). 

The whole gang! (Minus baby Will who didn't decide to make his debut until AFTER we left)

All the grand babies

Their silly faces

Plus Lucas. Tried to get a regular picture, but they were still into the silly faces!

All the girls

AND all the boys....see how much we are outnumbered?!

I'm sorry it took me so long to get these done, but be checking your mail box soon because they are coming this week!!!!

Next post: Reno for Naomi's baby blessing. I'm not gonna even attempt to guess when that one will be.

We are also getting our own family pictures taken for the year on Tuesday so be looking for those!

And for a little update, Adam quit his job! He is no longer a car salesman. I've hated his job for a long long time and it is a relief to be done with it! His schooling has a lot of out-of-class hours this semester and he just can't afford to let his grades slip! I'm still busy busy busy busy busy (and extremely behind on editing). As of now my photography schedule should slow down by the middle to end of October so I'm looking forward to a little break!

Emmett Part 2

It is kind of to the point where it's ridiculous how long I am dragging this out!

I am super surprised that I am even making time to do this today. We just got home from being gone to Reno since Thursday, but Adam is still working so I might as well :) I just got even more behind because of all of those photos!

Anyways, on another day we were there we went to the dam and played in the water and on the beach. It was a good day!

There was lots of dunking happening. I kept my camera around my neck so I stayed "off limits" :)

Sorry Jordan. Right place. Right time. :)

One more post about Emmett and I will be done and moved on to our Reno trip!

Here's a peak at what I had to smoosh on all weekend :)

I don't think I got a good enough baby fix...

Emmett Part 1

Okay so we went to Emmett....a month ago. I am finally getting my butt in gear and getting our visit blogged!

The main reason we went to visit was because Adam's little brother Jordan got home from his mission in Chile! It's been a long time since Adam's whole family was together so we obviously cleared our schedules so we could make sure we were there!

The first day we were there we caught up and let the chillins play in the backyard with the pools. My camera had to make an appearance here!

Then the little boys decided to start running and jumping into the pool! It was fun until...

Lucas's toes put a hole in the pool :)

Lydia had to run back and forth from the slide to the pool.

Some of the boys weren't around so I decided to go see what they were up to. (Isn't this such a 'man' thing to be doing?) I tried to be sneaky..

......but I got caught!

They decided to come join the fun in the backyard and join everybody else.

Don't these moments just melt your heart? They make mine melt....

Well I have another day of pictures to post so I will do that SOON...I promise :)
