Family Pictures!!

Family Portraits 07

I AM SO EXCITED! We just got our cd of our resent family photo shoot in the mail. These are the first family pictures we have had since Cooper was born. I can't wait to get them blown up and on the walls of our new house (by the way, we are buying a house. AAGH! X-this x symbolizes us crossing our fingers. We are just waiting on the appraisal and inspection. If they "pass" it's ours)
Anyway...back to our pictures. They turned out wonderfully. It will be hard to pic a definite winner. For those of you who don't know the story, I have been wanting family pictures for what seems like FOREVER! Brandon, of course, hates family pictures and refuses to take part in them. Well, I found a loophole. I told Brandon that what I wanted for mother's day was family pictures (you can't deny a mother her only request on mother's day) I sweetened the deal by telling Brandon he was not allowed to utter one word or moan of complaint. (When he is finally coerced into family pics, he always grins and says throw closed teeth "I hate this. That's enough. How many more times are they going to take this picture. I am tilting my head. This is so stupid." Anyway, you get the picture. It makes for a very miserable time for all involved and I wasn't going to have it!) Luckily for me, my husband was an absolute sweetheart! Not one word of complaint and he looks so handsome. (There were only a couple with the Bowen cheeser, Kami actually whipped it out more than he did) He even went along with a change of outfit.
The kids were wonderful for as many pictures they had to sit through and only a couple Bowen scowls are present (Ironically, most of them given by Cooper....)
So, to sum it up: Our photographer was great! We got the whole package deal, the pics, an outfit change, numerous poses (including engagement photos), a cd with all the pics, and the copyright for ONLY....$100! That is unreal, huh! I don't know how we lucked out, but it was a wonderful experience. We are hoping to make this a yearly tradition. (At $100, why wouldn't you?)
SO EXCITED and THRILLED!
I have included a link to the web album we set up. (Click on the pic at the top) Give me a vote on your favorites. Moms, aunt, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and friends....if you want copies let me know which ones and which sizes. (I have conveniently labeled them for such a purpose) You can just leave that info in a comment or give me a call. We are so stinkin' CUTE!
