Sunday Afternoon Picnic

The Sunday before we moved to our new house, we decided to visit our new ward and ask for help and then take a picnic past the Temple on the way home since it wasn’t that far away from our new house (Hooray for that!).   I stole the idea from my cousin Jessica to have a picnic there.  It was a good idea.  We had a mini lesson as well about making our home like a temple and how we could do that.  Here are some funny and cute photos we took that day.  Sorry if it’s boring to look through these.  I got a little carried away with how many photos I put in this post but it was such a nice day, I just wanted to share it for those who care.

Vivian was so funny with wanting a taste of everything.  She was really excited about crawling around on the grass.  This has actually been one of the few occasions she has had to play in the grass since we lived in a cement city until recently and it was really too hot to go out much before then. Christian was trying so hard to get Vivian to pose with him.  It was hilarious watching him chase her and then sitting as fast as he could and then yelling to us to “take a picture quick” before she crawled off.  This is pretty much the only one where they are both in the same frame all the way.  I really like how this photo of Christian turned out.  Christian kept using his dad’s head as a pillow (it’s not very soft) but it was cute so I wanted a photo. Jared took this crazy one of me trying to be somewhat modest while relaxing in my knee-length skirt.  Vivian just did not want to hold still for a photo.  She’s really mad in this one for me grabbing her and trying to get her in the picture.  Can’t you see her plan for escape in her eyes?    Here’s my cute husband all smiles…

I LOVE this photo of Christian enjoy his apple.  So handsome!

 

I think  Christian may be a budding photographer, he wanted to take pictures of us and kept telling us different ways to pose.  His favorite was “now kiss!….not like that romantically”.  Maybe he’s been to one too many weddings! LOL.

      It might be because we’re always taking pictures of Vivian (at least in Christian’s opinion) but he really wanted us to take a lot of pictures of him in front of various things such as the Temple, the Christos, the fountain…etc he’s such a sweet boy!
