A year ago all of my children lived with a 15 mile radius. This did not go by unnoticed or unappreciated, so last year on Mother's Day I thought it would be great to take some family photos. Have you ever tried to get a decent phot of 7-9 people? Someone always has their eyes closed or is looking the other direction... or in this case, goofing off. I knew it was hopeless to protest, so I told Rachel to keep on clicking and I hoped for the best.
My husband insists I taught them this behavior but it doesn't appear that he is trying to help...
And, although a serious picture would have been nice, there is something wonderful about the goofy ones. They make me smile.
Hey, everybody has their eyes open!
And to all who noticed Nathan wasn't in this picture, "Thank you." It's nice to be missed.
I love the pics. How awesome! Thank you so much for your card. It really came at the perfect time, Martha. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these pictures! Maybe we can get some more sometime. When will Jim be coming for a visit?
ReplyDeleteGood job Rachel, and I do not belive for a min. you are totally responseable for this behavior. Well, there are no absolutes. :)
ReplyDeleteYa wouldn't have them any other way would ya?
What a weird family you have there...
ReplyDeleteThose are some of my favorite photos. And even Josh is in the picture! *Hi baby Josh!*
Oh what a great group !!!! Your kids are so good looking.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I've missed a few posts, but really enjoyed reading them this morning.
You "hoped for the best" and I think you got it--photos of a great "family all together time"!
ReplyDeleteThese types of pics are my favorite...it's great when the family can get together and laugh like that. We have pics like that too...see my post.
ReplyDeleteThose are very fun pictures.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I'm glad to know it arrived "on time".
ReplyDeleteRachel, I'm hoping before the snow flies.
Judi, I love 'em just the way they are!
Bethany, you ought to know!
Wanda, Joeks, and Tracy, thank you.
Annie, they're my favorite kind too.
These are wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize till I read this post that you are the mother of seven kids! You are a saint! Wow, I'm impressed! Your family is beautiful, even while making funny faces. What adorable photos!!
ReplyDeleteWhen they grow up, it's a miracle to get them all together in the first place, but to remember to take pictures....wow! I love the pictures, and your kids are beautiful, and they look like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWait until you try to get one with all your kids, their spouses and children! The couple I have are precious. Now it's hard just to get a picture of all the grandchildren together. I love that your family all let their sense of humor rule.
ReplyDeleteEeewwww! Those kids are soooo ugly!
ReplyDeleteYes, and you're probably one of them.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to have fun together!
