Some Old Pics

I recently revived the programs used to do fun stuff on my cell phone (like make ringtones, movies and download pictures). I came across some fun pictures and thought I should share some. The technology we have at our fingeertips is amazing.

We were in the MUSS last year and had a ton of fun eating free food and hanging out in the student section. It was always fun to take Maggie. We always dressed her in sparkly red pants. She is so cute. This was taken about one year ago.

Last year on Thanksgiving we did some Hinckley Family Portraits because we hadn't done them since before Chelsea's mission in 2001. Since those pictures we'd had 6 wonderful additions to the family through marriage and birth. Now with the twins the Wayne Hinckley family has doubled to 16. Here's a picture of the women folk:

When Megan and I were dating we used to joke about how things would be when we ruled the world, so we thought we'd better train Maggie on that too:
I think she liked it.

After pictures we had our Thanksgiving Feast at my mom's house. Maggie and I were excited:
And then later we looked through the ads to see if we could get and super sweet deals in the morning sales:
We didn't get anything much beyond a remote controlled helicopter and some hand tools.

Maggie used to play with a small magnetic necklace. She stunned us the Sunday after Thanksgiving when she put it on her head like a crown. It was so cute that I had to take a picture, even though we were in church, but the meeting hadn't started yet, so I was OK, right?

Megan was in the early stages of twin pregnancy at this time. We didn't know it was twins, but faces like this should have led us on to it.

Near the end of January we had to take our Honda to get inspected and had the brakes and oil changed and had a transmission flush on the Corolla. I didn't think it would take long, so I had Maggie with me at the car place while we waited. They seemed to take forever with the car and in the mean time Maggie was getting tired of sitting around. She started climbing all over stuff and getting in to junk. While she was doing something she slipped and banged her poor mouth on a chair. She was crying hard and I could see some blood on her lips. She wouldn't let me look at her closely to see if she was going to be OK or if she was going to lose a tooth. The only way I could see her mouth was to tell her to smile and take a picture. This was back in the day of Maggie's cheesy grins. Luckily it looked like she was going to be ok.
Maggie loves playing with her cousins. This was taken at the end of April:

Megan and I took Maggie with us to celebrate our third anniversary in May. We went to dinner and then went to test drive a new car that we thought we wanted. Maggie was really helpful in making sure the tires were properly inflated:

These are some more cousins having fun taken on May 14.

About 10 days before the twins came, Megs and I were chillin and so what do we do when we are bored? I whipped out the camera phone and we had an ANTM photo shoot:




She started getting angry there near the end. Being pregnant with twins can slighlty increase volatility and appetite.

Here are the boys on the day that we brought them home:
Maggie loves to play with them and tries to be like them at times:
Sometimes I take pictures of myself on accident. I don't know why all the accidental pics have such strange facial expressions and crazy hair. We've become accustomed to blaming it on the lack of sleep. Megan told me today though that the trick is to convince yourself that you don't need much sleep. That way you won't feel sleep deprived.

And finally, we went to the Utah football game against CSU a few weeks ago. Megan and I sat by ourselves in the Asian Student Section of the MUSS. It was fun! The reason why going to a Utah game at Rice Eccles is so memorable is because where else in Utah will you see this:

It's hard to see, but there was a guy that was wearing nothing but shoes and a speedo walking around the student section, posing for pictures with any stranger that wanted to. What a great sense of team spirit and fan dedication. It was awesome!
