Family Pictures

Ok so this was like the most insane day ever. I hope you all enjoy these pics because they will not happen again for a couple of more years. Chel how you do your family pictures faithfully every year I will never understand. By the end of these shots me and Todd were both so livid mad and had yelled out every threat to Mya, and every bribe to Marle that we didn't even talk the whole hr and half drive home! Oh my heck, Mya is so dang stubborn, you tell her to smile and she will do just the opposite, you tell you to stop and she keeps going. I swear I got to a point where we just started laughing because it was that or children and or spouses were going to get slapped!!!
We have this amazing photographer, some of you may know her, my baby sister Lacey. She does an incredible job. So this building she had us take pics at is perfect for pictures but I swear it was the erriest place ever. The building might as well have ghosts living in it it was so run down with broken out windows. The crows flying in and out of the building was nice touch too. And don't even get me started on the hay patch we sat on, oh my gosh. Something had died there...no really the smell was horrid and you could tell something had laid there before, I was so grossed out and thought Trey was going to pick up so horrid disease. And Lacey she has patience like nobody else out there. She is such a trooper to put up with it all, I don't know how she does it. Mya had all of us Ticked Off beyond words, even Lac but man Lac still was so good with her to try and get her to smile. Lace thank you does not express how grateful I am. You are so kind to do these for us and I know the hours and hours of editing you put into these not to mention the time away from your boys. We owe you more than we could ever repay you. Know that I love you so much and so do my kids, even though Mya won't give hugs. You know her though, she will for a fruit snack!
