Daddy, who's that lady?

So I came to the sudden realization that is exactly what my children might say if I were no longer around when they are adults and they came across the rare photo of me! I have almost NO pictures of me with the kiddos...except when they were born!! Robbie asked me to email him pictures of me and the kiddos (he was having dinner w/a friend he hadn't seen in several years)...got tons of photos of the kids. None of me and the kids since...ummm...the yearly Christmas card! Not true. Really, my mother-in-law was awesome...she took some just before father's day. I wanted a good picture. She tried to get a good picture. In every one...someone...is doing something...ummm...weird. Don't believe me....OK, I think everyone may be doing something weird in that picture! The key to a good picture...a one child per adult ratio. Minimum. Seriously!

So, my lack of pictures inspired me to teach my kids to use the camera. Here are the results...

Jackson took this one. B was being a bit of a stinker, so I kept having to throw her in the air to make her laugh.

The one to the right here was taken by Will!

This one is by Will as well. (obviously...I mean, come on...I'm not crazy enough to let B use the camera and Robbie is in NY)!

The sun didn't totally cooperate on this one...but I still like it. I can't be too picky, I mean....come on...a 5 year old is taking it!

Love the one to the right here with Will. I was telling him a knock-knock joke! Oh...and the rock by his foot was from B. She kept bringing them and laying them all around our feet when we weren't taking her picture!

Will even took one of just me...B kept running off and I guess he just decided to take the shot whether she was there or not!

So, now I vow to stop giving my own mother a hard time about how she isn't in any of the photos from when my brother and I were little. Yeah. That's humbling. Thanks! I also am going to try to do better about giving my kids and Robbie the camera sometimes too!

Thanks for indulging me. We had a fun "photo shoot"!
