Picture time...


I set off for a day to take some amazing pictures of my amazingly beautiful children. The setting was Munsinger Gardens. The perfect place to capture my perfect children in pictures. Or so I thought O.k maybe I really didn't think that this would work! The whole ride there I threatened and yelled that they BETTER BE GOOD! And they behave exactly the way they normally do. Not listening, not smiling, being crazy wild children.

This was the first picture....



I should have know after this picture things would not be going well on this day. This day that I had hoped would go smoothly and I could pretend for just one day that my children and perfect. I'm sure the other garden visitors thought I was a crazy woman shouting and threatening my sweet looking children.

They figured out that they better do as I say or scary mommy was going to come out! and this is about the only picture I got of them all looking at me. Even if Ethan is doing a strange impression of who knows who!


My handsome little man! He's growing up way to fast!



He's missing all four of his front teeth now! I love toothless smiles :)


Love his grin!

Owen refused to smile after the first couple pictures, I was lucky if he would even look at me. He mostly just scowled at me,
Example below....

I really had a hard time with her...she was so distracted by everything ,mostly the dirt, she kept trying to eat it. She's cute even when she's not looking:)



Me and my babies. I wish they would stop growing up! When I look at this I am amazed that I have 5 children! I can't believe how lucky I am to be mommy to this cute bunch :)


He's quite the looker, isn't he? I think so :)
Me and my girl!
The Toddler Tuesday group. We sure have some beautiful kids!




I really wish this would have worked out. All the boys look really happy but Audrey just wouldn't look up. She was fascinated by the ground.

My boys.

I guess it didn't turn out too bad, but after taking over 400 pictures and these are the only ones that remotely tuned out, its a little depressing but, hey, with 5 kids what can you expect. And I think that next time we go to Munsinger i won't be taking my camera, we'll just enjoy the park and all the beautiful flowers.

Hope you enjoyed all the pictures!
