Family Pictures








This is one of my favorites of Corbin!

She doesn't know how to not pose



One of my favorite family ones!


My favorite of Kaitlyn!


Definitely the funniest! Every time I see this I have to fight the urge to giggle uncontrollably! Corbin looks like he is ready to pounce.








I really love this one too!


My favorite of Madison



     Family Pictures . .. Oh how I hate family pictures! And these were no exception. Every thing that possibly could go wrong went wrong. It was almost impossible to find a day and time to work out. We had to reschedule multiple times before it finally happened. I would have rescheduled once again but we were out of options. Corbin suddenly broke out in a rash all over his face and had such a runny nose that it was crusted and would bleed profusely if we attempted to clean it up. I never thought I would see that day that I would be smearing makeup onto my son. Madison had fallen and given herself a black eye as well.
     And then there was the wardrobe hazard. It started out with one outfit and then colors weren't matching right so adjustments had to be made. Then trips to the store because none of our adjustments were working out. None of the sizes were available in what we wanted so we had to have them come in from another store. The promised day arrived that the dresses should have been at the store and they were no where to be found. We were going to drive to the other store to pick them up and of course they weren't there either. In the end it never really mattered because when we actually tried them on the girls they fit awful!! Last minute running to different stores to find something, anything that would work. We shopped up until the time stores were closing and then we played dress-up at home until really late.
    Then came the hair. I knew what I wanted to do with their hair but, well, that didn't work out either. I gave up on leaving Kaitlyn's hair down and of course Madison's hair refused to stay curled. We finally made it out the door so we could make one more stop to grab a different size of shirt to fit Corbin. Well knowing the kind of luck we were having I picked up several sizes in several different styles just in case.
    After fighting the children to all be looking the same way at the same time and not doing their goofy forced grins, we managed to get a few good pictures. In the end it is always worth it right?!?
