I love this photo. Ellen looking at Levi and his little cheesy face. And sweet, sweet Ike, such a gentle old soul.
And this one. The boys…my boys, so different each of them. My daughter, becoming more of an adult to us each day . And Mr. Phillips, you still got the moves.
This speaks for itself. Goodness.

Gotta love a family with lots of character! …or is it just a bunch of characters?
Love the pics, what a gorgeous family!
Great pictures! I love that last one.
I LOVE THEM ALL…so cute and they capture all of you, ‘as you ARE’ a beautiful family.
Thanks for reposting these. I needed a laugh this morning!
Awesome, each and every one. I love your family, April. You’re all so very blessed.
A happy, healthy, exuberant looking family! You guys are cool!
You have such a great family. That last photo is my favorite.
What amazingly wonderfully special photos – great memories!!!!
I love photos that show real families acting like real people. The floating heads in those studio shots are just creepy.
I love those pictures, most of all, the one where you dance with your husband.
As your blog, your pictures make me feel good humor, strenght and happiness …
And in this day while I have fighted with my husband, IT IS A GOOD THING !!! …
I LOVE that last picture. There is always one who makes it hard to get the perfect photo, but I love the ones that are imperfect the best! Great photos!
You are a lovely family! Very blessed.
Beautiful pictures. I love that they were barefoot- so cool!!
Great photos!!
Really great family photo. It does speak so much to each of your unique personalities…not that I KNOW them. lol But as I would imagine them.
I love the last pic. My at-the-time youngest/now middle son loves to open his mouth for pics and I believe every photo of his fourth year shows his mouth open wide. I love it!
-from one Phillips (2 “l”s) to you
Great family photos April.
Love the hug (or is it a headlock) in the 2nd one.
I love REALness of those pics. Beautiful!
Wonderful pictures. Your family is a beautiful lot. I also have a son that loves to “mess up” the picture with the most insane, cheesy, fake smiles (he’s 17 now). Sometimes we will take the picture four or five times then use the least weird!
Great pictures. I can feel the love and see the fun y’all have together. You are blessed.
Love that last picture!
Beautiful family!!!
Were’nt you missing one of your boys in the first pic?
Your daughter is you all over again. Lovely family.
Nice!
What a beautiful family and a beautiful website. Happy to have stumbled upon it today.
Peace and Puppies,

The first one is so beautiful, but my goodness, love, love, love the last one!!!!

Ha, ha, ha, I LOVE these – especially the last one: each showing character. Someone is always going to provide their “goofy face” which makes it all the better.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your family. :>)
Your family pictures are awesome! I really LOVE the last one.

April,
Your whole family is sweet and funny and beautiful. I appreciate how simple and real you are. You bring tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.
Thank you!
Camille
OH I love these photos! Really shows all of your personalities!
I really love the pic of you and Clay dancing. Although it would be better if more of you was in it. It almost feels like you are avoiding the camera.
