{Picture Day}

my good friend Aimee just got an awesome new camera & i asked her if my family could be her guinea pigs. she was happy to do it for us.{thank.you Aimee}

so, you know how you have everything ready to go, have what you want in mind, & think your kids are going to sit still, smile on the count of 3 each time, and no one will have there eyes closed....

we truly did get a few GREAT pictures. the "2" year old even had a nap. husband even had 3 hours of sleep.. you would think that they would all be "picture perfect" how we all want our pictures to be right!?!??! ;)

well, lets just say Aimee needed to bring toothpicks to hold Nate's eyes open, & i don't even think the biggest sucker or toy could get Garrett to smile that day. :)

Aimee was a trooper that day & i just want to say {THANK.YOU} so much for spending the time to take our pictures. even in the bird poop. ;)

garrett didn't appreciate the water.

i think we found a winner. {little smile on G}

priceless.
even with no smiles & toothpicks :)
