This was a photo that we had taken prior to a religious ceremony where we were considered joined as a new family.

Part of Briana's essay about Adoption and our family

I was born in ... I started out as the oldest child so I got a lot of attention (and my own baby book). Two years later my brother Jadon was born (He doesn’t have a baby book and this disturbs him greatly) and two years after that my brother Dallin was born (also no baby book. My mom used to look at pictures of kids that were up for adoption on the Internet. One day when I was about nine years old she found a picture of some kids and said, “These kids look nice, lets put our name in to adopt them”. So, we did and I thought nothing of it because I never thought anything would actually happen. That was until “Surprise!” they picked us. So, added to my life were Donald, Christina, Linda, Brandon, Billy and Ammon. Well, we bought a giant van that we nicknamed The Q Mobile, started using two carts at the grocery store, shared bedrooms, used a lot of bunk beds and pretty much had our own baseball team in the back yard. It has affected my whole life and taught me a lot of different things. I have learned to share everything, not to try to save food till later, how to get along with a lot of different people and to think about others. I still learn from them.

View standing on the east side of our house, taking a picture of our pine tree property line toward the neighbor's hosue. Picture of the east side of the house. We have no idea what the previous owners were planning to do with this unusual construction of a patio. The window is the Window for Briann and Christina's room and the doors go into the unfinished basement into the area where Dallin and Billy sleep.

Another photo of the same area. Close up of the doors leading into the basment
