Valerie requested a new post today. When I told her I had nothing to post about, she sugggested I post the cousins pictures we had taken in California. She already has copies of all of these, but apparently she misses the days when I used to post every single day. So...for her, and anyone else who was bored today, here is a post, just for the sake of posting.
I told you about our awful photo shoot in CA. Here are the best of the many, many pictures that were taken that day.
I thought my kids would be easy, because they are all old enough to understand how to pose, but they were little rascals. After a few attempted poses, the photographer finally just lined them up in a row and this is the best shot we have. I wasn't too worried since we just did family pictures.
Then Luke and Audrey took a crack at it. Audrey was not happy when Luke tried to hold her, and she didn't like being on her tummy much either. Luckily after a few minutes with all of us in her face baby talking, she looked up and got this cute picture.
Then her solo, which was the cutest picture of the day.
And now on to the group. The whole purpose for the photo shoot was to get a good one of all 5 kids. We can get pictures of our separate families anytime, so one good group shot and we would have called the night a success. After dozens and dozens of failed attempts, we finally told the lady to stop and that we would just choose the best of whatever she got. This, my friends, is the best she got
.
Pretty bad, right? But at least they are all (mostly) in the shot. What's funny is that my mom now has an 11x13 of that silly thing.
How happy am I now that I didn't have 5 kids? Yikes!

Yay for a new blog! The pics aren't so bad...
I think the pix look pretty good! Taking pictures is exhausting especially when you do a cousins pic. I think it's pretty ironic that you chose to post this because we just decided to take a Grandkids shot for my Mom since I'm going down after Christmas. LOL We have to get all 15 in one picture looking as decent as possible. :) Wish us luck!
By the way, I'm with Val on your daily posts. They give me something to look forward to when I'm stuck in my car between drop offs and pickups....or when my Hubby is jogging the TV for a Laker's game.
Actually, I quite like the picture of all five. I think it shows terrific personality. Thanks for keeping the rest of us happy!
Yep, getting 5 kids to all look and smile and be in the shot would seem nearly impossible. Don't think it hasn't gone unnoticed that only shots my mother-in-law has of all 5 of her kids together is when they are adults. Cute pics. Speaking of your family pictures, we haven't discussed what you want to do with them yet.
Val, the individuals aren't as bad as I expected, but that group one...? It just cracks me up. They look like they were all cropped together from other pictures. Chloe looks like a giant, and it still makes me laugh that the best one they got has Luke about to bolt out of the room. Audrey's is adorable!
Katie, Good luck with 15! WOW! Your mom will love it though. I will try to get back to my old posting routine one of these days. At some point I just turned this into a picture journal and quit the other posts, but since I still have you and Valerie on board, I may go back. We'll see. Lately just the picture posts alone have kept me swamped.
Jen, I am so indecisive! Seth just asked me when I plan to get pictures too. Maybe I will make him decide for me since I keep waffling.
I love my picture and it hangs in my house with pride - my five rascals. I will always remember this photo shoot when I look at this picture. I think bathing 5 cats might have been easier.
