photos and the craziness that it takes to get them...

some interesting facts about these photos:

um. have you noticed ella's lips before?
they are so so so amazing.
but the BEST time for her lips is right after naptime...which is when we i decided to trespass on private property and do this 7 minute long photo shoot.
yep.
7 minutes...or so.
that was how much time we had before that lovely sun slipped down behind the hills....
check out those "after nap lips" baby!





the photos below, with jake and ella, cost me a small sprite at in-n-out and a promise of double wii time.
not a bad bargain.
especially since i was probably gonna let him get sprite for dinner anyway and also factoring in that i am in charge of how much wii time he gets so whatever time i say can be considered double...
yes.  i am getting good with the bribing people.
and look what i got...




i had a hard time getting any shots of just jake and ella since ty kept popping up with that R.


i didn't want to be too harsh with my sweet little middle child so i took a few of just him.
instead of snapping, "ty! get out of the picture!"
that little guys is so sweet!
he just really wanted to hold that R.


ok. believe it or not, i STILL have more laundry to do.
even though i spent hours folding last night while i watched one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movies.
gone with the wind.
i am gonna read the book again.
i haven't read it since 8th grade.

i may have a few more photos coming soon...i can apparently take a lot of shots in 7 minutes.

  2. that is mighty impressive that you got all of those great shots in seven little minutes! It usually takes me about 500 pictures to get a handfull of good ones! Maybe I'll have to try the bribing thing to see what kind I can get in seven minutes!

  10. That first picture is timeless.
    Annnnnnd I have read gone with the wind only once. At 16 - lying in my bed bawling and feeling that to feel so deliciously sad was the coolest grown up feeling I had ever felt. I never knew a book could do that. I know your time re-visiting it will be great!
