    I would love a picture of the kids with their grandparents and (us)parents! Three years ago we moved closer to their grandparents and the kids have been incredibly blessed by their involvement in our lives. Having the older generations around us daily makes for a rich homeschool environment! I need them and my kids do too!

  • Seth

    There are always strings attached to these “giveaways”, I mean write something creative, are you kidding? I think you pick these things on purpose because you know I won’t enter. :)

  • Jama

    I have some great pictures from our time in California. I would probably choose something from our time at Yosemite or traveling the Pacific Coast Highway.

    PS Love your pictures!

  • You take such lovely pictures, Kimberly! Wow – how do you pick a picture if you win something like this? But the first one that popped into my head is one of Miriam and Esther fishing at our favorite fishing spot. Dave loves his little girls, fishing, and great scenery!

  • I put a post about this on my blog for entry #2. :-)

  • Lisa

    I would choose a pic of my husband with our two now 23year old boys. They were both about 14 at the time and he took them salmon fishing for the first time with my dad. All three of them(my dad took the picture so he’s not in it) have caught large salmon about 10 lbs. each. The boys are wet to their pants pockets even though they both have knee boots on (so typical)and my husband is dry in his thigh-high waders. The boys are grinning ear to ear, and proudly holding their fish. My husband is smiling with the patience of Jobe, holding his fish and proudly standing between the boys. I LOVE this picture and a poster of it would be awesome!

  • that is the prettiest picture of those 3 little girls by the lake. I just love it. Are they yours?

    Raising Olives Reply:

    miss mary,

    Yes, thank you. Those are our three youngest girls down by the lake. We were attending an outdoor wedding, so everyone was dressed nicely. That was a few years ago so those little ones are a little bigger nowadays.

    Blessings,
    Kimberly

  • I think he would choose a photo of the family at our family lodge in W. Virginia. One of his favorite places.

  • Meagan

    I have wanted to do one of my husband and I’s wedding pictures for our bedroom wall for quite a while. There is a place just right for it right above my dresser. We live in Florida and right after the wedding we met with the photographer down at the beach and she took pictures of us in our wedding attire walking down the beach. Wow were they ever good pictures! A year or two later she decided to close the side business, her photography, and gave the digital rights over to her clients. I was thrilled, and now I can reprint pictures whenever I need to!

  • I would have a picture of my mother in laws 50th anniversary.

  • jill

    Since we just moved near the ocean I would love a beach picture of our family of ten.

  • bunny

    I don’t know maybe the picture of your kids at the ocean. They are beautiful, or a picture of all 18.

  • I have a great old black and white picture of my mom with her mom and all 7 of her siblings. It has always been a favorite of mine. It would be great to have it enlarged and My mom would love it.
    Thanks for the chance.

  • A Picture of my son with the hugest grin on his face to decorate my house for his high school graduation party!

  • Stephanie

    This picture of my grandparents house that I just LOVE!

  • I love your pic on the beach. We are taking our family picture in Florida! Love it…
    Anyway… if I were to blow a pic up I think it would be one of my son “dunking” the basketball to hang in his sports themed room.

  • I would either do a kids picture since we just added another baby to our mix or his buck that he shot last year. It would be a toss up of which he might like better :) haha!

  • I would actually “give” this to my boyfriend and let him pick a picture. He is into photography and would love something like this!

  • I would choose a picture of my Husband with our little girl. Maybe one from the day she was born.

  • Kelsey

    I would LOVE a huge picture of our 2 year old Hallie!
    Probably one of her at Laguna Beach.

  • Deb

    There’s an old photo of my dad as a young boy dressed in cowboy hat, boots, gun holster, etc. trying to act all outlaw and stuff. :) I would LOVE to win this and get that blown up for him into a poster! If not in time for Fathers Day, then for his 77th birthday on June 30th. Perfect!!

  • I would love to win this and have a poster of our family picture. It’s something I have dreamed of doing but have never done it.
    Thanks for giving me a chance to enter your giveaway. I wiuld be thrilled to win!

  • Stacy

    I would do a picture of him on our vacation last year after Hurrican Ike hit the Gulf Coast. We were the only ones on the beach for MILES. So we were modest and there was no one there to think we were weird! HAHAH He was BUSTING out of a sand pile that they had scraped up and the kids were playing in. It is an awesome picture!! My 9 year old daughter took it.

  • Tara

    I’m a new mom to a 3 month old little girl so of course I would choose a picture of her! It would be hard to pick which one though! :)

  • Kim

    I would get one of our son- learning to walk! SO CUTE.
