You’d think it would be harder to get pictures of the kids. But no.
My daughter and I are working on a photo project and we need fresh pictures of everybody in the family to complete it. Do you know what happens when she does that with a very uncooperative awesome dad?
It’s like working with an 8 year old.
Let me show you.
First, we started by asking him to change his shirt. You see what he changed into? Not quite what we had in mind. Cute though, and very much his personality – we let it stay.
Yes, he’s a pain. Yes, pictures took a whole lot longer than they should have. Yes, he knows when I need a good laugh. And, yes, we laughed our behinds off.
Finally we got him to cooperate and ended up with a nice picture of the two of us.
We’re working on a very simple, and very cheap project for our blank walls. After we get the pictures developed I’m thinking of making a video post showing us completing it. It would make a perfect Christmas gift (which is only 3 months away!) and is so easy the kids can do most of it.
I’ll keep ya posted.
NOTE: And for those of you who haven’t seen me in a while, I quit coloring my hair a year and a half ago. The dark color you see in the pictures is what naturally springs out of my head. If you don’t believe me (and nobody does) I don’t know what else to tell you except believe it.
It’s the Italian in me. I get it from my dad and I like it – can’t believe I’ve been hiding it with fake color all these years! I thought my natural hair color was light brown!

Correction: 8 year olds are much easier to work with.

I think I have to agree with you there, Kait. 😉
For the record, I asked what shirt to wear and BOTH ladies said, “It doesn’t matter.” Additionally, I was ready to go right away and then, you guessed it, a diaper needed changing, e-mail needed checked, pictures edited, car washed, house vacuumed, yard mowed, and college graduation to attend. So, 5 years later we finally took the pictures.
Um can I say something here? Yeah uh all of the above is not true. What REALLY happened was as Dad changed his shirt, and mom smelled that Jesse needed a diaper change, I thought it would be wise to empty the card because I only had 6 pictures left, and as it was doing that Dad walked in(in his blue gym shorts and superman t-shirt, mind you) and proclaims he’s ready.
And, really, it all didn’t take more than a couple of minutes before we were all out the door taking pictures.
Mumbler! Seriously, I cannot understand a single word you’re saying!.
I think the end result is sweet, and now you have a bunch of funny pictures for the memories. 🙂 You guys are funny.
The pictures did turn out to be very funny. We’ll have to find something fun to do with them.
Number four is classic!
Yeah. It’s like depression era crossed with geekfest. I should be holding a pitchfork and he should be holding a giant calculator.
I love it. I bet ya’ll had a blast! A beautiful couple.
Thanks, Brandy! We did have a blast.
This was too fun! And don’t forget to leave a wall blank for your big Jackson Pollock masterpiece with family photos that we’ll do when y’all come for a visit 🙂
I already know just the place to put ’em!
So we’re gonna do it? Yea!
HA ha ha HA! Awesome. Perfect! I miss you guys.
Oh, and I love your dark hair. It suits you as does the way cute flipped out hair! 🙂
Thanks, Becky!
We miss you guys, too!
