Spring Pics

Yesterday we all cleaned up a bit and headed up to Ault Park to attempt some Spring pictures. Two participants (that will remain nameless DADDY and PATRICK!!) were less than thrilled to be taking photos. Robert even stated that he WAS NOT wearing white. Why??? It's the beginning of spring and it will make me look white as a ghost was his response. Nice try honey. Put on your white shirt and at least smile a little bit. Since when is Robert concerned about having a tan?!? Robert's awesome attitude rubbed off on his mini-me, Patrick. They both moaned and groaned the entire time. But, at least I got a couple of decent shots of the two of them. And, believe or not, they both survived!! Funny how that is... Graham and Marshall were willing participants. Marshall is my little model and well, Graham is too young to know to what is going on!

My handsome Grammy

Graham loves to pick dandelions!

Always gotta have a stick!

My smiling little Marsh Man!!

He was determined to figure out

how to step on the pedal and get a drink.

But, all 28lbs of his body weight just wasn't enough!

Getting a drink with a little help

from momma!

A stick in hand, of course!

My two big boys.

Umm, Marshall, get your hands

out of your pants, son!!

For some reason I just love this picture.

Maybe it's the classic Patrick expression!

Oh my goodness!!

I actually got a shot of Patrick smiling!

He had just finished telling me how

he was all done taking pictures.

Sorry, bud, momma's not done yet!

They are all done with pictures at this point!

Our three little stair step boys. :)

And, Marshall with his hands in his pants again!

Daddy and the big boys.

Graham was not interested in participating.

At least we're all looking somewhat in the right direction!

And, notice the bag full of marshmallows and M&M's.

I am NOT above bribery!!

Take 1 with the timer function.

Not too bad, we're all pretty much looking

in the right direction!

Take 2 with the timer function.

Look at that great smile on Marshall!!

I think we got a few decent pictures. I'm going to head back in a month or so when all the beautiful things they plant in Ault Park are in full bloom. And, Robert, don't worry. You will probably NOT be asked to attend! :) And, for our family, if there are any shots you would like I can email you the image in full size so you can get it printed. Just let me know!! Happy Spring :)
