Just one good picture

Just one decent family picture before Brandon leaves for Iraq. Is that too much to ask? Yeah, a "sort of nice" family picture......finally. Look below to see the process. Do you see what I have to deal with?

Seriously??

Nice double chin, lady.

Huh, did it click yet?

This is painful.

Gearing up...

Well, Brandon picked up his deployment gear from CIF today. It's only a few short weeks away from his trip to the sandbox. Although we aren't looking forward to the separation, the kids decided to have some fun and gear up to see what it would feel like to wear all that poundage. Even empty, this ruck sack nearly pulled Kyla over backwards.

Suiting up.

Some pictures from family game day.
