To tell you the truth, I've lost count on how many years we've been doing family pictures with Michelle, Ken, Braeden and Ryan...  This is probably our 6th year already!  Isn't that crazy?  Well, these guys are like family to me.  Our kids have known each other since Ryan and Gabriela were 6 months old back at Terrilynn's home day care.

I like to reminisce about those days when they would run to each other and do a little dance every time they met...  They don't really do that anymore (though it would be soooo cute!) but they are still best friends in their own way (the way 8 year olds are best friends - only better) and they are still in the same school, same grade - this is the first year that they're not in the same class, but rest assured they'll be in the same bus to Steamboat Springs Colorado next Spring Break when we escape reality and go hang out and ski together.

There's so many reasons why I love this family, and you've only heard one for now, but Michelle is truly one of my favorite people!  She's smart, witty and every time we've skiied together, she's taken one day to ski with me.  This means a lot to me because frankly, I SUCK!  And she's really really good, so I'm quite privileged to have a private instructor like her.... Oh enough mooshy stuff!  We just love these guys plain and simple!  Ken is a great friend, and a load of fun to talk to.  He's also a closet Martha Stewart and he does most of the colour picking at home.  Sorry Ken, it's the truth man!

Michelle, thank you for again trusting me with preserving your family memories! 

Here's some of my favorite shots, but be sure to check out the slideshow below!

We went for an urban look this year, since we've done everything from fall to Skiing... so here we are.  I can tell the boys really liked this!

 Here's the family.

It's hard to tell here who's goofing around more!

I love how Ryan, though completely goofy, always knows where the camera is!

Here's a nice one!

One of my favorite ones of Ryan here.  I have a feeling he'll think the same!

 Here's another favorite.  Gorgeous!  I'll have no problem letting this boy into the family if I ever have to!  (enough said, we don't want to jinx it!)

I just love this one of Braedy!

And this is possibly the first EVER shot I have of Braedy where he's not squinting! I love how he looks menacing here.  Braedy is all kindness and he is the most loving kid you'll ever meet!

This little smile here says a lot.  

For the slideshow, I'm sorry guys, but I don't have any Metallica or AC/DC so I picked a song that describes what I think you want out of life, to live it fully, more than fine, more than just ok... It's a song by Switchfoot.
