#9 katherine's pics of our family

last year, we tried to get a big family picture of my mom's side of my family. for some reason, we thought Target could handle our big group. the end result: a picture where my mom and jake were shown only from the head up. this year, thankfully my friend's very talented sister, katherine came to town. we took the following pics in may in honor of my opa turning 90.
the whole group
being silly which comes naturally to most of us. if you notice in this picture, my mom doesn't have a clue what we're all doing and pat is trying to duck out of making a fool of himself.

Fun pics! I cracked up at the one where you're all making funny faces but your mom didn't realize it. Totally reminds me of my own mama!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
