MORE Family Pictures

One of these days we'll get that "perfect" family picture I've always wanted. I just know it. Just not this year. I know that "perfect" family picture exists because we received many of them in Christmas cards from all of you. While I liked our pictures this year (meaning the scenery was nice, I wasn't pregnant and we were all looking at the camera), my only complaint was that it was a bit out of focus. We are grateful that one of Jason's co-workers agreed to take a few pictures of us. She was young and single so she probably didn't know what she was getting into. She probably didn't realize that capturing the happy family requires a lot of yelling, "Look at the camera! No funny faces-Ryan! And no fake smiles either-Kate! Don't worry about your brother-just look at the camera!" Anyway. . since we were on vacation we didn't have much to work with in terms of viewing or editing. . . just the Kodak Picture Maker machine at Wal-mart. Maybe next year my dream will come true. But probably not.

This blog is a request from my mom. You know how parents are-they always want MORE pictures.

After pictures we played around, fed the ducks and got muddy. And the kids were wondering why I didn't let them do that before we took the pictures.

Jason is trying to get the ducks to eat off of Ryan's head.Jenna was scared of the ducks and took refuge on a nearby bench. We had a great time, well, except for Jenna.
