Family Pictures

So, last night we had our family pictures/pictures of the boys done. We try and do the boys picture every year around their birthday. We realized that we did not have a family photo done since Lucas was like three months old. SO four our anniversary Robert told me I could get the pictures done. I also decided to take Jillian along, #1, because I babysit her, #2, because she asked, and #3, because I wanted to surprise Tanya with a really nice picture of Jillian.
Well I have to say all things considered it went well. We take them to Kiddie Kandids inside Babys R Us, because they are really geared towards children. Everything is little kid size, the photographers are great working with kids, and you get the pictures the same day. So I really like it their. Well of course they were running behind schedule, I made the kids all take naps so they were "happy" for pictures, but they were wound up instead. We had Jillian go first since she is the antsiest (not sure if it's a word), and she did great. Then we did the family picture, we all did pretty well for that, I don't really care for the picture, because of how I look, but the boys all look good. We wanted a couple pictures of the boys together, Lucas was great, but Justin kept squintiing his eyes when he smiled or sticking his tounge out when he smiled, I am not really sure where he got that from, but whatever. We got a couple of cute shots. I personally like and prefer pictures that capture their personality, instead of perfectly posed pictures. So the pictures I picked out, do that. When we are at home, Justin poses perfectly, smiles beautifully, and all around loves having his picture taken. Well last night, he kept doing the wierd funny smiles, or would just not be looking at the camera. It took the poor photographer like 10 shots, before she got one good one of Justin. Then Lucas gets up there. When we are at home I have to take like 100 good pictures to get a good one of Lucas. TWO SHOTS. That is how many it took her last night. The first one he blinked. Seriously that kid smiled on cue. So my boys reversed rolls last night.

So that is the story of getting our new pictures done. We are sending them out for Christmas this year. So if you read my blog, and are wondering where your picture is, wait for Santa!

Hugs and love to all!!!!
Here is a slide show of the pictures. Leave comments and tell me your HONEST opinion of the family picture. Oh, it is edited so you don't see mine or Robert's legs very much at all in the picture. So in our picture that we got, it looks a tad different.

Here we go..........
