Life - I have been truly blessed my whole life. My Heavenly Father has blessed me with all the people I have come in contact with throughout the years, from childhood to now. My family is great, sure we have our problems, how uninteresting would it be if we didn't? But I wouldn't trade any of them, not even my 6 brothers, 20 nephews, umpteen cousins (okay maybe a few cousins :) I don't mind that I had to do chores as a child, 100 chickens to feed daily, well, maybe not daily...and there were never 100 left by the time it came to butchering. Picking sticks actually was a character building experience, thank you Dad and uncle Emil! I have had a great life and plan to make it even greater, things just get better and better.

Hey, does Connor play soccer? Kase wants to play soccer this year, outdoor, and I am trying to find some boys for him to play with...he has never played before... :)
That's a lot of face isn't it? Just kidding, it is a lovely face, one I don't see enough of in person. And so that you didn't feel like I have insulted you, I have left a little insult for Karli today as well.
Hi Kara,
...Sisters, I'm laughing at Jana's note. lol.
Your blog is wonderful! as are your beautiful children. I to would love to be a "real photographer" I took a great class on line, and learned so much. I totally recommend it. It's called Oh Shoot Photography, just go to jessicasprage.com. You would really enjoy it, you can do it at home, practic on the kids and it's no to expensive. $95.
Happy days:o)
