The start of 2010

Don't worry, I know what year it is, but my sister and I are being smart this year and getting a jump start on next years calendar.  Generally we don't think about it till at least half way through the year.  But not this year!  This year we have decided to get together once a quarter, that way we only have to do three month pictures at a time.  This may not seem like very many pictures, but for the months of January, February and March plus Korinthia's 6 month pictures (that is a total of 5 pictures we wanted to be able to print) we took 426 pictures!
You have to remember that we are trying to catch the attention (and hopefully smiles) of a 3 1/2 year old, a 2 1/2 year old, a 7 month old, and a 1 1/2 month old!  This my friends, is no easy task.  I am generally the "clown" standing behind my sister (who takes the pictures) doing everything I can think of to get the kids to not just LOOK at me, but SMILE, or resemble a smile anyhow!
So here we are, The following pictures are for the month of January, some we may actually use, and some are to give you an idea of what we go through to get these!

Trying to get attention with a pom pom and throwing it over their heads... 


Kaden wondering why there is so much noise!




Korinthia reads Curious George



Kaden was not at all thrilled with this set up!


I think the boys are tired of the camera (and this was one of the first picutres taken!)


I think this one was probably the best of them all together


I don't remember what happened here, I think the flash on Mandi's camera didn't work so the flash boxes did or seomthing like that... Make her eyes look cool though!

Stay tuned, more of 2010 is on the way

  1. Those are some fun pictures. Great job getting them all together. I bet you all had a lot of fun doing that. Take care and have fun with getting the rest of the pictures you hope to get for your calandar for next year. *smile* Blessings.-me-(Mommy of two little blessings)

  2. Ahh the joys of trying to get 4 little ones to smile! :) I think you are right about that one being the best of all four... but I also really like the one where Kaden is pouting... right before he throws his legs up in a fit! You don't have it on here, but your three look pretty cute and Kaden has a classic look on his face. :)

  3. I love that last one, it looks almost like a pencil sketch. And I really like the Feb pics. Cute!
