Family Pictures











Another wonderful Conference weekend full of great talks (and great food).  My boys had a hard time grasping the concept that we would not be going to church on Sunday but would be going to Grandma's house instead and watching conference and the prophet on t.v. in place of church.  This was explained multiple times and they still didn't quite get it... oh well...I'll add smart pills to their cereal in the morning.  Just kidding... I ran out of them last week.

In between Sunday sessions we took a few family pictures with extended and immediate family.  The rain cooperated and stopped for picture time.  My kids were the worst with the goofy silly faces... sigh... I had to give the lecture later about how to act for picture taking.  I had failed to take several things into account #1) my 8 year old thinks his poses are "cool" #2) my six year old when put in front of the camera either does goofy faces or somber faces (it is challenge to get a natural smile) #3) my 4 year old feeds off the goofiness of those around him #4) my 3 year old is in a world of his old and does whatever he wants to do regardless of what you ask him to do.  The result... I wish my mother-in-law the best of luck in choosing a family photo that does not have one of my son's doing something objectionable.  



We had better luck when it was just our immediate family.
