My friend Bethi and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful blooms at the orchards. We set a day to go out and take our kids to get spring pictures. I haven’t had very good luck in getting a “we are so happy” picture of my kids all together. As you can see from this post. I was so glad that Bethi was there to witness it. People don’t believe me when I say how my kids are so dang anti-getting-their-pictures-taken. Its not like there is just one of them that hates it. All 4 of them! They feed off of each others hatred towards the camera. Anyhoo, with a little body swapping I was able to get an ok one. I guess in a way its not a “real picture” because my daughter wasn’t even in the original, but if I want all of my kids in a picture, I gotta do, what I gotta do. I don’t love it because my daughter is not in focus as much as the boys. Its the best I could get out of the pictures we had. I will take you through the process a bit.

bethi - oh my gosh!!…I love it!! next time we do this…yes, I said “next” time…Im not afraid haha!
We need to have a video camera…it definitely qualifies for a reality series! The things we do to get our kids to smile!! Im lovin the pictures!!!
Lindsay - I am rolling…but not in shock. Only you can explain the photo process with such clever humor. I wanna steal your kids and bring them to ID! The “photoshopped” picture is great, and NEEDS to be displayed in your house to SHOW OFF your amazing talent girlfriend. However, I would frame the last picture in that mambo jambo frame you got and seriously paint it turquoise….it would look so great and capture your “P”…eeps!

Gaby - They don’t teach that anywhere sista! I can so see myself trying (noticed the word “trying”) to do that with my goofy kids who hate their picture taken. Not sure the ending result would look quite that put together though. Too funny! Good job!
