Picture Day!

In a few days several of you will be getting our traditional Christmas Letter along with a "Picture Page" of pics taken thru-out the year of our family. We usually all meet up sometime in December to take an annual Christmas pic! This year it was very late in December because we had to wait for Dustin, Kelly and Cade & Cole to get home. Everyone has a love/hate relationship with this day. We all hate taking the pictures but we love (for many years to come!) looking back at the pictures and seeing how much the kids have grown and who did or did not have children yet in old photos. So I thought I would show you what Picture Day was really like with the Marler Family!! Here are some of the Bloopers!!

Takes forever to get the kids situated!!

Yes,that's my big behind in the middle of this picture!!

The two could not take a serious picture the entire day!!

And then Cash decided to eat a stick!

Trying to get a good one of these 3 was next to impossible!!

See what I mean!!!

Cade has a multitude of faces and Cole laughs at every one!!

See - this is his "tongue" pose!!

And then there is the "love" pose!!

And then Cash wanted to show us everything he picked up!!

We literally have to take several hundred pictures just to get a few good ones! But we love it! Or we wouldn't keep whining about it!!!

Merry Christmas to All of You! Bloopers and All!!

Mammy

Homecoming Christmas!!!

Guess who is in the car driving over 1000 miles as I type this?????? Yep, these two boys are on their way with their mama and daddy to spend 2 weeks in sweet HomeTown Houston! And I couldn't be more happier!! We WILL do our best to stuff 6 months of being apart into 2 weeks (actually just one week cause they will be at their other grandparents for 1 week!)

A Happy Mammy

Happy Birthday Kelly!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter-in-law Kelly! Kelly, Dustin, Cade and Cole ALL moved far, far, far away to Charlotte, NC (actually they really live in Fort Mill, SC ) in July and we can't hardly stand them being so very far away!! Our hearts ache at times like birthdays - because we can't hug and kiss and shower gifts upon them! Actually our hearts ache all the time - but especially at birthday time and holiday time and game day and most every day!

Kelly is so sweet and the best mom there ever was! She loves Jesus, Dustin and the boys and it shows in everything she does! Happy Birthday Kelly!!! We love you! Can't wait to see you in just a few more days!! And below are some pictures of Kelly and the men in her life!!

Picture Perfect!!

We've been so busy these last few weeks and I just don't ever seem to find the time to post! But we always find the time for family fotos! I'll let these tell you a few stories!

Two of my favorite men! Brandon and Cash - Cash looks just like Brandon did at this age!!

Little Miss Priss!

These girls know how to pose!

This little love was getting tired!

But not too tired to stike a pose!

See what I mean!

Always running an jumping!

And twirling!

Sisters!

Cousins!

Who teaches them this stuff??!!!

They were having so much fun!

And some 6 yr. olds were just plain goofy!!

And some loved to smile!

Like this one!

And this one!

But no one could out-do this one!

And some are just dang cute no matter what they do!

See what I'm talking about!

Sisters again!

And more sisters!!

This one's a lover! Always lovin' on you!

And this pose - well, she just looks JUST LIKE her daddy at this age!

But she's got some spunk in her!

I think they ALL do actually!!

See - who teaches these young ones all about posing!!
They can "strut their stuff"!

And they can melt your heart!!

And it just doesn't get any cuter than this!!!

They really do love each other too!

But some are really sassy!!

Well....maybe all of them!!

But not this little boy in the middle!!! He's ALL BOY!!! And he gets lots of lovin' from his sisters!!

Love, A Happy Pappy & Mammy
