On ...photos that don't suck ..


So my sister Natalie (and Joe) took some family photos of the gang about a month ago (thank you sister).  They turned out pretty stinkin' good.  We were sans a few members but overall everyone was actually happy and semi-cooperative.

Staged family photos really aren't what the boys are in to.  Getting them dressed in decent clothes was in and of itself a chore.  Gone are the days where I can stuff them into a collared shirt or a sweater.  Jackson still allowed me some say.  Eli, not so much.  And it's one of those fights where I surrendered.  "wear what you want.  but please smile.  even if it's fake".

The weather was nice. The people were pretty.  Nobody cried.

The BOYS 


 my fav shot of the day.  all the boys doing their own thing.

pure love.

My parents.  Seriously.  Look at these two.  How did I get so lucky?  I mean ... the GENES.  Thank you mom, I will take your beauty.  Pass it on down ...





 Eli .. tapped out on the smiles ..











WAIT WAIT WAIT ....

those are all lovely and all .. but here's what really went down ...

I tried to behave.  Honestly.  But it was a photo shoot.  A family one.  You understand.
