Lately

I have just been loving this little Mya.  I love her sweet temperament, her fat rolls, her cuddliness, and her sweet smile and laughter.  
 The girls have been loving her too.  They are so sweet with her.  And surprisingly good.

Lately, I've been trying to prove to Randy that I can be a good photographer too.  I do love a good picture.  SO, I decided to take over more of the shooting.   Not that these are great photos, but I just wanted to post my experiences of trying to get the family together for some togetherness pictures.  THIS is how hard it is.  How many pictures does it take?  I'll tell you what is going on during all of these:
 Here:  I suggest to Randy, "Hey, lets take some pictures of you and the girls!"  He is thinking, "pictures?  I don't like to be in pictures.  Ok, humor her.  Oh look, she's not holding the camera correctly" and Mya's thinking, "Mommy?"
 Ok, we're all together now.  Mya's actually looking!  Randy looks happy, Kenadi decides to do crazy faces, and Emma doesn't know it's time to look at the camera,
 Oh, wait.  It's allergy season.  Randy has to sneeze.  But Emma's looking now, and Mya is still looking! I'm saying, "Kenadi, just smile.  No crazy faces!"
 Ok, now Randy's back, Kenadi's smiling, and Emma's done.
 What?!  What do you see Emma?  Kenadi see's it too now, and Mya's done.  Randy's loosing patience.
 Mya's back to sucking on her fingers, Emma's now doing silly faces, and Kenadi is still smiling at the thing she sees.  Oh no, Randy's nostrils are flaring.  He's about to tell me, "OK, we're done.  That's enough."  And that is just what he said.
Kenadi and Emma are off, and Randy's left with Mya and her fingers.  Yummy, Mya.
I don't think I got the picture I wanted, but it is funny looking at the whole process.

Also lately, Kenad's figured out how to blow up balloons.  She went through about a week of blowing them up over and over again until she could get them big.  Coming next is her dance recital.  She had it this last weekend, it was so cute!

I love your blog Tara, the narration on the pictures was so cute. I could just see Randy thinking and saying the things that you said. You have such an adorable family. Love and miss you.

Ha ha. I love the commentary on the pictures! I can totally relate! And I think the story commentary is much more interesting than perfect pictures anyway. :)

yep, yep. We have that with the trying to take family pictures. Carl is usually grumpy about it, but I convince him to cooperate somehow. I like how Randy likes rather unhappy about the whole idea in the first picture, then pretends to be happy for the next few pictures, but his smiles fades with each one. lol :)

Cute pics of a cute family just the same.

ahahahaha! Just wait till you add another kid! It only gets more fun! Thank goodness for the Christmas cards where you can just put in 6 separate pictures instead of having to try to find one picture where everyone is facing the right direction! Love this post; the commentary was great! :)
