Family Photos

This blog entry is a shout out to Elder Bobby Welch who is serving an LDS mission in Thailand. In every email we receive from him he informs us that he has seen enough of the babies and wouldn't mind seeing photos of the rest of the family. So, here are some photographic memories from the Chandler family reunion, plus a few remaining shots from Bear Lake. There are still babies in these photos, but just consider them colateral damage

Alright. It's now my turn at this so-called blog thing. Jenny is the computer savvy one around here, so she's always been the one in charge. But watch out, because now I think I know what I'm doing.

So far, Ian is the only one of our children to have been showcased in this digital display. Now, it is time for the photographic premiere of our other children. We've nurtured them since they were sprouts. With tender loving care we've brought them through their adolesence into adulthood. We've heartily sown, and soon we will reap with delight.

I give you...our garden.

Bare Laked

Since we finally downloaded the pictures from our trip to Bear Lake, we thought we would share. Ian actually slept because the condo my parents rented had a crib. It made for a very fun trip. Ian loved the lake and would walk so far out into the water that he was swept off his feet. We were happy that he loved the water, but it made me a little nervous! We were too scared to take our new camera to the beach, so we only have pictures at the raspberry shake place and the condo.

Zoo Trip

Our latest trip to the zoo was a lot of fun. It was in the evening and a little cooler by the time we left. We got to use our new fancy camera, and it was fun to try the two lenses and different modes. We're trying to collect good pictures of animals to frame for Ian's room.

Trip to This is the Place

Jon and Ian took advantage of a free admission day at This is the Place. Ian loved the animals and they spent the majority of their time there.

Besides going places and watching movies, Ian loves to dig in the dirt. Here is is in our backyard. It's hard to get him to come inside.

Pictures of Ian

Here are some pictures of Ian over the last year. It's a start! I like to look at these pictures because it reminds me of a time when he didn't throw temper tantrums everyday! We are going to buy a new camera (our old one won't focus any more), so hopefully, I will post some more soon! If anyone has suggestions on cameras, let us know. Right now we are leaning toward a Nikon D60 because Jon wants an SLR, and I found a good deal on that one. Good thing for the economic stimulus money.

Welcome to our blog

We had so little success with hosting our own web page because we never made the time to update it! Hopefully this will be easier so that we can share more up-to-date pictures of Ian.
