And now for the out-takes!

Scott's favorite photos of the kids are always the ones that show the precious, spirited little darlings they really are, rather than the ones we (I) like to think of our kids as {giggle}. Well, these are some of his favorites because this is our brood, in all their hyperactive glory!

That's not what I had in mind for a smile, Savannah!

Now it's Irelynd's turn...

I was trying desperately to make everyone look in the same direction and smile. At least one person found me funny. Maybe because we have the same sense of humor...

Notice Irelynd's subtle eyes at Savannah. And all through everyone's acting up, Waverly is just content to play with and suck the life out of her flower.

There are at least a few people that have had it...Savannah's exasperated and Keaton is not liking the grass.

In desperation to get Keaton to be content and stop screaming, we gave him a stray bottle lid from the grass. "Here Keaton, suck on this piece of trash that's been here since last summer, that may or may not have been peed on by some stray dog, and may or may not get lodged in your throat and require a pounding thrust to your back while positioned upside down on my arm, all for the sake of a family picture..."

And there goes Irelynd while Savannah goes loco! At least Brighton stayed put!

Irelynd may be a little exasperated with Brighton. Notice how both girls have his hands in theirs? That was more than just a loving gesture. Human manacles is closer to the truth.

Houston, we have a problem and his name is Brighton... Maybe we should call it a day...
