Cousins

Last week I traveled down to Blanding for a day to do some pictures for my cousin's family. My cousin Justin and his beautiful wife Steph and their super cute kids. Such a fun a energetic family. Those of you who know my cousin Justin know he never slows down and his kids are just the same. They were so fun and came up with some fun ideas for pictures. We did the pictures down at "the field" and it was a perfect spot.

This is beautiful Jessie. Seriously, how pretty is she? She is a bubbly 13 (I think) year old with a contagious smile. My husband's favorite story about her is last summer when we were out at the Colorado cabin and the kids were all in their swim suits playing in the water at the pond and Jessie comes marching up in her swim suit and thigh high rubber boots with a bucket full of crawdads! Such an Ivins, not afraid of anything! Not a lot of girls could pull off that look, but she totally did!

This is Dillon. A fun and funny guy. My friend's mom was his 2nd grade (maybe 1st, can't remember) teacher a couple years ago and told me he was constantly making her laugh.

And Whitney. Such a cutie. Fun and playful. Love those freckles!

And little Ladd. A little wild man who, I have a feeling, never slows down. The day I took these pictures, I saw him and Steph earlier that day and noticed Ladd had a rubber band around his jeans at the ankle on both legs. Then when they showed up for pictures later, he had his jeans tucked into his socks! I couldn't decide if he was a little OCD about something or perhaps trying to start a new fad? Either way, funny!

The funny thing about this picture is that Ladd was making similar faces to this in every picture, until I asked them to make funny faces, then every picture was complete straight face.

It was lots of fun! Thanks Steph! Hope you love them!
