Kid Pics

Our fabulous babysitter, the beautiful Miss Kylee, has taken some AWESOME pictures of the kids! Our bunch seems to be "difficult" when it comes to cooperating for pictures (some of you have experience in this particular area...you know what I am talking about.) And, the child that you think SHOULD be the easiest, is actually the HARDEST and most UNCOOPERATIVE, which is frustrating, to say the least. Well, today was magical. The hardest, turned into the easiest, the typical easiest was actually the hardest, but manageable, and the third was, well...your typical 3 year old!
Here's some of the best!






















Yes, we are at a junkyard of sorts (I don't think the owners would call it a junkyard, but it had a lot of junk!) And, yes, Indi is wearing a stained t-shirt that I got at Walmart last summer for $3...but I had a dickens of a time finding bright colors for the kids to wear--I really had no other options! And, yes, the boys ties are absolutely amazing...I made them yesterday. Pretty simple, highly imperfect, and no, I won't be making any extras for you to purchase. Please understand, sewing is not really on my radar right now. Maybe when I retire from cooking and cleaning and having babies and life in general, then MAYBE I will venture into the sewing for income world.

Oh my gosh! Can I somehow get my hands on those pictures and edit them up for you - to really give them a professional "pop?"! I would LOVE that!

Lena H-O-N-E-Y....congrats! That is so great - except for the being super sick part! You are a real trooper. The pics of the kids are awesome. I love the setting. You have beautiful kids. Well hang in there.

Mia said...

Wow, they have grown up so much. But they are still adorable!

Kasey said...

Oh your kids are so cute! They've gotten so big too. I like the pics. I love that you made the ties too. That sounds more interesting than brown Jedi robes which is what I'm working on now for Evan's b-day party.

I have been searching for months to find a tie for my Sylas...why didn't I think to just make one? Oh, yeah. Cause I hate to sew.

Cute pictures, but does it really matter who the photographer is? It would be hard to make those kids Not adorable!

Hannah S said...

Great pics! I love the colors and the location. I didn't know you (or people in general) could make ties! That's a great skill. I like your idea of retiring from cooking/cleaning. Will we ever be able to? Maybe when I can afford to higher it out :)

I love the pictures! And your kids look so much older since I last saw them. Especially Indi and Walker. Looks like you guys are enjoying life!

Unknown said...

Magical! I bet the kids are delighted with these pics now they see the finished product. Frankly they look like they had a ball. And your wonderful Miss Kylee has a great eye and a perfect sense of timing. It doesn't hurt, or course, that your darlings truly sparkle. I'm thrilled to see these. Thanks so much for sharing them!!!!! Love Grandma

Hummmm, don't know how I accidentally signed in as Celeste instead of myself. I have now logged in appropriately, and will claim the comment just before this one. Now, I just wish I could book a photo shoot with your kids. Let's work on it, ok?
