Is it possible to smile with a broken arm?

On Monday I was finally feeling okay to get out and take some pictures. I wanted some of the kids showing their excitement for their dad graduating from Utah State. The hardest part was to get a look from Anna that wasn't total boredom or the look of "she is way better than this."

I will cut her some slack and say that she did break her arm on Saturday and has not been in good spirits since. She actually fell off her scooter coming down a hill by our house. Her story is that Zach hit her with a shovel. I do think that she is a little proud that she is the first one in our family to break a bone....(not counting when Craig cracked his cheekbone with a water ski.) She is also amazed that she broke a bone before Zach. Zach is the daredevil in our family so he is falling all the time. As I explained to her, Zach knows how to fall. He always rolls so when he gets injured it is usually scrapes on his shoulders or back. Anyway Anna got a beautiful purple cast put on yesterday.

We did manage a few good pictures. The kids thought I was funny because I made them wear the T-shirts backwards because it says I am proud of My Aggie on the back. I thought it looked cute.
