Getting pictures taken with the kids is always such an inner conflict for me. I absolutely dread it. It's almost as painful as speaking in church, so I really struggle with it. We didn't do it at all last year. I was pregnant, and there was nothing that could motivate me to get the kids dressed in nice clothes, hair combed, teeth brushed, and actually getting them to look at the camera. I tell the photographers to just take the pictures as soon as everyone is looking. Don't worry about trying to get smiles. That's just way too much to ask. Anyway, I knew I needed to do it this year, so I made an appointment right after Halloween and had a whole month to gear up for it.
BEWARE: There are a lot of pictures.

Those are great pictures!!! You guys are so cute. Riggs is such a little ham!
Cute pictures! What handsome little men you have there!
You're back! I checked your blog a few days ago and noticed that you hadn't posted since Halloween:) If big time lapses between posts mean the same thing for you that they do for me, I hope you're surviving:)
Those are some good-lookin' boys! We've only taken family pictures once since we were married. I didn't even like having my picture taken BEFORE kids--now it's 10 times worse:) But yours remind me that it's worth it.
P.S. love your hair.
Love the pictures. They turned out awesome. I love your hair too. And the location is very nice. You have a cute family.
okay so I have to yell you that I have the exact same feelings about family pics that you do. In fact, our appointment with the photographer fell through last month so yesterday I pretended to be one. I spent 2 hours getting all 3 kids "ready" by myself and then paraded them through the yard and park in 15 degree weather with hopes of capturing at least 1 shot where they were all just looking. I was soooo stressed at the end of it all and not showing much patience. However, I must admit I love having some cute albeit very amateur pictures of them...and now I can cross the Christmas card photo off my to do list.
Anyway, your pics turned out nice and you don't look stressed at all.
Adorable photos!!! You have such a cute family. Your boys are so handsome. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. Thanks for the awesome sign too! Formal thank you notes to follow!
I think they turned out great! The ones of Crew crawling are priceless. Your boys at least cooperate and smile-mine wouldn't. Good looking family!
Aww, those are some sweet, sweet pics. You have some dang handsome boys! Would it be inappropriate for Molly to hook up with one of them?!? I can only hope..... = )
Love you guys.
What a cutie family! I love the pix! It looks like everyone behaved great! You probably had to keep a close watch on Jeremy but your little boys did awesome!!!
Those pictures should be in a catalog somewhere!
Hope your Christmas was great! I loved your Christmas card.
