Me and the Kiddos

 The kids and I got the opportunity to get our pictures taken by Cindy.  She is a volunteer photographer who we found through Kids Cancer Crusade.  Cindy took the kids and my pictures to celebrate the end of Odette's treatments.  When I had first talked to her she had said August would be the best month.  I was really worried because I wanted Odette to have no more feeding tube in pictures.  (I know it was helping her, but she is so gorgeous without and if we were getting professional pictures...)  As most of you all know, Odette was rid of her feeding tube with plenty of time to spare for the pictures, so there wasn't even a red cheek!  We drove out to Tooele, which isn't really that bad of a drive until a child needs to use the restroom.  (Now this particular child thinks she can "water" the outside anytime she wants.)  Even with the long drive, the kids all smiled and had lots of fun running around the garden area where the pictures were taken.  I think the pictures turned out great.  I have the most beautiful, special and amazing children! (And yes, in the foot picture, Brandt and Kathleen are almost the same size as me!)
