better together

because when you are family? that is just how it IS. every little thing you do. every little thing you laugh about. every little thing you *are.* better. together.

and when you are a family as fantastic and fun and wonderful as this? why would you want to be anything but....



with four fantastically awesomely fun and sweet and perfectly wonderful little ones. with adorably sun-kissed faces. and sweet smiles. and laughter that carried for miles.


the "j" brothers....let loose on the beach.















and then there is sarah. oh. my.









and her sweet baby brother. not so sure about this whole getting together thing (because sitting still? SO not fun.)



but he came around.





and then things just got all lovey dovey. together.



between a mom and her daughters...




and a mom and her daughter.






**love** ah-lot.



and nothing is better than taking a break with your grandpa and grandma.


really loving, happy, cool ones.







brothers.




sisters.






fathers.




sons.




family.




wherever you are. wherever I am. wherever *we* are. it's always better together.



and everywhere. in between.
