Yoder Family Pictures

The funniest thing about this picture besides my weird expression, is the fact that Nate has realized he's laying in fresh bird poo. This was a memorable family moment. Poor Nate, welcome to the family.

Aside from loving this picture of my kids, I love the rooster in the background. Perfect timing Nick.

We recently had Ashley and Nate here for a visit, so we had some family pictures taken. I am so happy with them. They had a weeks break between semesters. They are doing the trimester fast track. Ashley hates it. They both are taking Chemistry and are convinced the teacher thinks it's the only class on their schedule, they hate it too. I think they will both be so happy when this is behind them. They are planning to move back here for their Masters degree. She's not too fond of the cold weather in Idaho either.
We were able to enjoy Easter together and to celebrate Bryon's birthday, albeit a week early. We had a great time together as a family and these are the times that I will cling to as the kids get older and do their own things.
Justin has some big changes coming up in the next couple of weeks. He's buying his first house. It's not far from us, maybe 7 miles. I'm sure he'll be home often to eat and raid our pantry. I'll miss him being here on a daily basis but I know he is soooo excited to be taking this huge leap. He's done it all on his own too. I am very proud of him.
Kelsey will be graduating from Ironwood on May 21st. She'll turn 18 on June 14th. I can't believe my baby will be grown up, at least legally. She still does some really goofy things at times. Kels will be staying home for the next two years and going to GCC. The house won't be completely empty. She is a social creature though and is gone a lot. She is hoping to be able to be one the dance team there. As you can tell by her senior pictures, she's incredibly limber and talented. Oh ya, she just got her first job hostessing at Abuelo's. She's so excited to make her own money. Maybe now she'll appreciate all the money we give her!!!!

Kelsey's Senior Pictures

I Love this picture of Kelsey. She has the most infectious smile.
I love the creativity of this picture. She must have had a great time taking these pictures and she's not camera shy.
Holy cow, are her eyes blue.



This captures her personality perfectly. This is one of my favorites.
So is this one. HA
So is this one.
I can't believe how perfect this jump is and I can't believe that Nick caught it at the perfect moment.


You can hardly tell it at this size but it's raining confetti on her. I love this kid and I can't believe that she's graduating. It's the end of the football games and dance recitals. So sad.
