Fun Times at Sears Portrait Studio

I'm giggling, yes giggling while writing this back as I think back over the day :)

So I had a BRILLANT idea (or so I thought) that since David and I would be visiting Joe, Monica, Hazel, and Jade at the same time wouldn't it be great to get a family portrait of the kids and grandkids for grandpa. I know you're thinking that is a brilliant idea, but I wasn't thinking about what being in front of a camera with David and Joe would be like...LOL

When arriving to Sears the lady asked about the poses we would like and I told her one of the six of us, one of Joe, Mon, Hazel & Jade and then one of Dave, Joe, and I.

• The photographer in all her wisdom wanted to take the 6 person photo first b/c thats "the hardest" (her words, not mine)...Success and it only took a couple of tries to get a good pic.

• Next the photographer wanted a pic of girls only (at this point this is when I realize Hazel has peed through her diaper and onto my leg, but hey thats in the job description of an aunt) back to the girls only pic there Monica, Jade and I are cooperating but Hazel keeps running out of the photo right when its about to be taken to go sit in a cute chair (thats how it ended up in the shot); so all 4 of us are ready, but its hard to control my laughter b/c David and Joe are behind the photographer PLAYING WITH ALL THE PROPS, yes props you know the ones they use in kid photos! So I'm trying to not bust a gut from laughing so hard:)


• Okay so that photos taken on to the photo of Joe, Mon, Hazel and Jade: they get their couple of poses taken with only minor incidents.



• Then onto the photo that I thought would be the easiest...why did I think that, b/c I'm stupid Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!! The pose that I thought would be so easy is of me and my brothers: bless the photographer's heart she tried to set us up for a nice pose but Joe and Dave were jacking around and so I was laughing and finally I gave in to the craziness and said maybe we should do silly photos for dad. Well I really enjoyed the first pose, but then the boys wanted to do a Charlie Angels pose and I will admit I blew the shot! I couldn't help it I was laughing so hard and to top it off I had to be front and center and doing a karate pose....are you kidding me???? Of course I can't focus with all that going on....so my brothers kicked off the angel squad and continued to mock me for 10 mins :)
  

I had such a great time taking those photos I could've taken tons more...correction I could've attempted to take tons more. When David and Joe are together its impossible not to laugh your butt off :)
