Torturing Everyone to Get Some Good Photos

We had our annual family photo shoot a month or so ago.  It was crazy, if you can imagine.
Here are a few…

I absolutely love the shots she got of Bob with each of the kids and me with each of them. As most moms know, it's pretty difficult to get in pictures with your kids, especially when you aren't wearing pajamas and spit up. That's probably a large part of why I love these so much.
Thanks Mandy, for being patient with us and capturing some great shots!
If you need some awesome shots, I know Mandy would love to work with you. You can see some more of her work here.

Seacrest Beach 2012 (Part 2)

And now we move on to the actual beach.
This year was a lot different at the pool and at the beach. Sam can pretty much swim and is a huge fan of the water. Grey is much more comfortable in the water and has spurts of independence. And Bo, Bo doesn’t want to be in the water all that much and is content to wander around, occasionally jump in, and cling to you when he is actually in the water. All in all, they were much more manageable and fun than last year.
This guy went to the beach for a day last year, but he wasn’t even a year old. This year, he loved it, ate some sand, but steered pretty clear of the water.

And we’ve spotted a helicopter!

Grey loved the beach, playing with his bucket, and jumping waves/being lifted over them. Also, he has a bit of a mullet when his hair is wet, but awesome curls when it’s dry. (Mullet partially pictured here).

Sam absolutely loved everything about the beach. He loved the water, he loved the sand, he loved digging, and he loved burying Bob. Well honestly, they all enjoyed burying him…

Speaking of which, what a fun dad. No way would I have let them bury me, but he did, and it was his idea. He was also in charge of building sandcastles.

Between the fact that moms are rarely in pictures AND I’m ginormous and pretty picky on what I actually want photographed, I ended up self-shooting here. At least you can see I was there.

SAM_6344 My sister, Laura, was a part of this beach trip and it was so fun having her around. We’re all big fans and the boys really loved spending some quality time with Ya-Ya.

And of course, Mom and Dad were there. In fact, Mom and Dad made the trip possible. Thank you guys! We look forward to this beach trip every time we get to go. We all love getting so much quality time with the fam!mom on beachSAM_6419
Discussing the plans for the day, or politics. Which one was it, Dad?

J, we missed you! Here’s hoping everyone can make it next year!

Seacrest Beach 2012 (Part 1)

We just got back from our family beach trip. It started out a little rainy, we were missing a sister, and I got pretty sick, but all in all, it was a great trip!
 
Here are some highlights from the house.
 
Sam played with Legos so much. As in, maybe 5 or 6 hours a day. It was insane and he is, in my humble opinion, a mechanical genius. He got a set that makes an airplane, a helicopter, and a speedboat. Here he is in action.SAM_6260   SAM_6279

Awesome tracks were built. TV was watched while we snuggled on the couches.

I lounged around, and grew,…especially after I got sick.

We swung on the swings and played in the pool (which I did not get any pictures of!).

Oh, and of course, we ate lots of good food (these donuts are from Charlie’s Donut truck – yum!)

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we head for the beach!

What Taking Pictures With Three Boys Really Looks LIke

Here's the good picture. It's not perfect, but it's good for what we're working with.



Here's the outtake.


Please note, Grey falling and verging on making me inappropriate, Bo crying and leaning out of my arms, and Sam about to spit on Bo.

Maybe this is why Bob's not the biggest fan of taking photos.
