Say Cheese!

Well, folks!  It took quite some teeth-pulling, but we got our family pictures taken!  And even though I don't think there was a perfect family group shot of the bunch, they are all good enough.  Because there is NO WAY I would be able to get the kids to dress up and pose for another photo shoot even if I wanted to.

Once again, we drove around the neighborhood, found a suitable backdrop, and set ourselves up for picture time.  Hahaha.  Our attempts to use the tripod with the camera remote and then the continuous timer were not super successful {I think we were too far away from the tripod for it to work}, but luckily, a super nice family was out driving around and offered to snap some pictures for us. 

 {Trying to get everyone in the right general area for the shot.}

 {One of our failed attempts with the timer.}

 {And a few semi-successful shots snapped by the neighbors. :)  }

Once we got the family shot out of the way, I went on to snap a few more of just the kids, and towards the end captured some perfect lighting and back-dropping, along with some genuinely happy faces.  I call that success!  Enjoy the overload of pictures.  :)

 {Ethan also attempted to take a picture of me and Scott.}

 {Jane wanted me to put this picture in because she thought Scott's smile was better than in the others.}

And just for fun, I accidentally created another gif!  {Is that what it's even called???}

Have a happy weekend!!
