Cannon Family Pictures

I have been wanting to do some pictures for months, and we finally did them last week. My friend Bliss took them at Garden Park ward, and I think they turned out great. I was planning on just doing the girls, but Matt and I jumped in on a few. We might not be the most photogenic people, but at least we updated our family picture (to actually include Lily).

A Lot Excited

Both of these are well worth the time. Thanks for the fun weekend, everyone!

new ones for the record books

Jen sent me these pictures and I said I'd put them up for her. I wish we could have been there too!

A day in Cedar

We felt so honored to be invited to celebrate Matt's big day at SUU.

I was so excited to bring my camera and take lots of candid shots.

Walking to the stadium.

And pathetically, that is where our battery died. Right before the big halftime event. I feel like such a looser. I even faked taking some pictures down on the field with my nice camera, while snapping some with Jen's camera, just because I was afraid the people down there with REALLY nice cameras would think I was lame. *sigh*

But it was a great day! We were so proud of Matt and the Cannon family. It was really thrilling to watch them unveil that #9. (Spencer was extra proud because he was #9 on his soccer team this year.) We had so much fun. The game was great and brought back so many memories of watching Matt play. After half time we got to go up in the press box to a private room complete with food and a great view. Our kids still talk about going up to the "luxury box" After the game Spencer said, "If BYU ever plays SUU, I'm going to call for a tie!" Our kids thought it was the greatest thing ever: a football game with cousins, swimming at a hotel pool with Poppy, making sand and glitter projects brought by Gayle Saturday night and sleeping in a hotel bed. Thanks again for the opportunity, Cannons!

just in case you forgot

This is where we live now. You are all welcome ("in Virginia!" J/K) to come visit. 

Finally something from the Smarts

I am finally ending the drought of posting on our family blog. Lots of pretty pictures of fall foliage await you. :)
Spencer thought it was really funny to stick stalks of grass in front of the camera right as I was going to take a picture. Maybe it was a subtle hint that we had too many pictures of fall foliage.

A renewal to post?

sisterly love

Belle's first day of school

I rarely blog, but I thought I would end the drought of pictures on the Udall Family blog. I actually downloaded some pictures, so I decided to post.

And amazingly everyone is busy except for me.(PS not a scarcasm)

School has started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to anounce that. Nothing else to say

Emma's Baptism

I know this happened almost a month ago but I wanted to post these pictures from Emma's special baptism day!

Catherine took this picture of Emma with my camera. I love it. It looks like a painting.

Congratulations Emma, we're so proud of you!

At Gardner Village
