Our Tradition

It's hard to think of new traditions that you want to start with your family, but sometimes they just pop out at you. This is one of ours and it was started by my sister-in-law Cathy; she just didn't know it at the time. On our wedding day she gave us her camera and told us to take a self portrait. It turnned out to be our most favorite wedding picture and since that time we have taken pictures of ourselves on all of our big adventures (sometimes this can be hard because people see us trying to take a decent picture and offer to take one for us).

We have this frame on our wall and every time we take a new picture we decide which picture gets taken out and put into our album and which ones get to stay on the wall. The new picture always gets a little bit of time in the frame and the wedding picture will probably always be there. We want to have a pretty big family, so we are hoping that alex will have really long arms as he gets older so that we will all be able to fit in.

Last night we went on one of my most favorite adventures yet...but I'm having trouble loading all of the pictures and movies so this post is to hold you over until I can get the other one up-don't forget to check back. Can you guess what we did? And which picture do you think should be picked to go up in our frame of tradition?

I didn't know you had been to mount Rushmore, bottom left. And I do believe you should use the right side.
Good luck with tour tradition! Maybe you should buy a camera with a timer instead of wishing for an orangutan.

That's hillarious keary "wishing for and orangutan". I was thinking you're going to need someone to have very long arms, or a very tightly packed group of people. Good luck with it though.

I personally like the snow one, then any with Alex the Younger in it. (I'm still trying to come up with a good way to distinguish the two, and little Alex wont fly because I hated it when people called me that. Maybe something Book of Mormonish.)
