So, as you can see, we got new family pictures. My mom scheduled us to get a big family picture before Nick and Stacey moved, and Troy leaves on his mission. So while we were there, Jon and I decided to get an updated one of our family.
The whole family, currently. In a few short months we will have an addition. My sister, Emily, is expecting her first baby in November. We are so excited!!
Grandma and Grandpa and all their grandkids-- Abbie, Faye, Mitchell, and Kaylee.
And here is the original family. Top row: Emily (the oldest), Dad and Mom, Middle row: Jay (4th child), Stacey (2nd child), and Troy (Baby of the family), and bottom row, Holly (3rd child), and Annie (5th child).Now, as far as the post title goes. We went to pick up the pictures yesterday, so I replaced our family picture in my parents frame, and then came home and went to change our family picture in Jon's parents frame. Jons family got a family picture in December, and we all did individuals there as well. Well, our individual picture from December was the one hanging on the wall. As I was taking it down I went into shock. I knew that I was way swollen before the jaw surgery. I would wake up and my face would feel all jell-o-ey because of the swelling. But, I would look in the mirror and think, "I don't look that swollen." And, as humans, we generally have distorted images of ourselves when we look at ourselves. So I really thought I looked just normal. Anyway, as I took the picture off the wall I could not believe how swollen I actually was. So here is the comparison so you all can see. And I know a lot of you probably noticed, and just were kind enough not to say anything... thanks.

Love all the pictures, especially your little families, your girls are getting so big.
I know exactly what you mean we do have a distorted view of ourselves most the time. It's like looking at pictures of yourself 38 weeks pregnant you don't think you look that bad but looking at the picture it's like looking at an elephant. Though I honestly don't think you look too swollen, I bet you are just glad to have that all behind you now.
I do love those new pictures...I think everyone looks fabulous, I think it is the best family picture yet!
I love your family pictures! You all look great!
Holly, Those are so cute. I love them.
Ahh, whatever...you are beautiful either way. And look at your stinkin cute girls, could they get any cuter in those pictures. Love them all!!
I think you look gorgeous in both pictures!
But, I get what you mean, I retained a lot of water when I was pregnant with Kennedie, and I look back at the picture, I can't believe how HUGE I was.
I love these pictures in the bright blue. They really look great & it's fun to see how much your girls are growing up...where does time go?
