This Will Have to Do For Now...

Here's our "ghetto" family portrait...

Taken Easter Sunday 2009 by Clarinis, my 14 year-old neighbor.
(She had nothing to do with setting the picture up. She just pushed the button on the camera so none of the ghettoness can be blamed on her. Thanks Clarinis!)

I particularly like the chain link fence, my AWFUL hair, Max's expression (Jake said he looked like a pioneer boy getting his portrait taken), how Cole, Lee, Scott, and I are all the same height, that Jake looks like he's going to pounce and the t-shirt lying in the grass (of course)!

So classy.


At first I tried the timer on the camera but got this...

and then this...

Funny thing is, I thought I was in these pictures when I thought the camera went off.
I need to learn to use my camera already!
(and maybe plant some flowery bushes or something. Geeze!)

Oh well, someday I'll get a good picture of the family...
In the meantime,
this will have to do.



But, this is, by far, my favorite picture of the day...

Priceless.

hey, it's hard enough just to get a family picture, i think it looks good. i got all my kids together sitting on the front porch all ready for a picture until i realized that i left my camera at mom's house--duh!
the pioneer boy comment is so funny!

oh cari, you absolutely crack me up! this is GOOD, really, especially considering you have so many people to try and catch looking good! why is it with just THREE of us, we can't get a decent family picture ever?! there's always a lot of work and a funny story behind family pictures, even the good ones! hope you guys had a great Easter!
