"Breakdown, takedown, your busted!"

Accompanying F's 12th birthday was a religious milestone. On Sunday he was ordained a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood (that Mormonspeak meaning essentially he gets to leave Primary, enter the youth program and pass the Sacrament to the congregation after it has been blessed.) Thus, the photo shoot.
(F was not interested in making a funny face!)

We wanted to get a couple good pics and our lawn wasn't mowed, so we went across the street to our neighbor's house whose lawn was nicely mowed. She is the Dean of the Buisness College at RU and thus rarely ever home. Noting her car was gone, we jumped over for our photo shoot. This was our favorite shot. Jack said, "Hold on a car is coming, I am going to let it pass." Except it didn't pass-it was our neighbor! She was nice enough to not pull into her driveway so we could get the shot. Thanks neighbor!!

And yay for F for his ordination!

Oh my gosh, that is so funny about going to your neighbor's yard for the picture and the fact that she came home. Hilarious! Awkward! Congrats to Finn! He looks very dapper in his summer suit. You look cute too Jaime! Oh yeah and Jack, you look cute too. Heck, the whole family looks great and what a yard....

I've never thought about using our neighbor's yard for pictures... perfect! I can't believe he is already 12, where does the time go?

Did you cry...and try and hide it so F wouldn't notice...as he passed the sacrament?

I can't believe he is 12. I may have mentioned that before...

The getting busted for taking pictures on her property is hilarious.
