Smart Mouth Brothers

I found some pictures the other day of my family that were taken more than 30 years ago!  How can it possibly have been so long!?  I remember that day distinctly.  One of my brothers was preparing to go on a mission for our church and needed to have a picture taken to send in to the church headquarters.  The whole family dressed up and went over to the home of a family friend who had offered to take the pictures.  It was the fall of 1976 and her maple tree was in glorious color, so we decided to take the picturs in front of it. 

Another of my younger brothers was (and still is) a smart-aleck.  He always had something to say about everything.  He was cracking jokes the whole time, when out of the blue someone zinged him, and for once he had absolutely nothing to say!  How in the world did that happen?

Anyhow, as luck would have it, just as I found these pictures, scrapN2Nspire, the designer I CT for, came out with a great autumn-themed kit that turned out to be perfect for these pictures.  The first layout is of my mouthy brother, while the second is my youngest brother, who was only 5 at the time. 

the journaling reads:  Kenny was born with a smirk on his mouth.  He always had a smart remark to make about everything.  These pictures were taken in the fall of 1976, when Kenny was about 15.  Kenny was cracking wise about everything.  Then he made a smart remark about something, only this time someone managed to zing him back with a remark that he had no comback for!  I've always cherished this look of surprise on his face as he searched for something to say.  We love you Kenny!  You always keep us entertained.

And here's the kit preview.  I'm not sure if its in the store yet, but you should be able to find it soon at
