So this last summer, we decided that for my dad we would get all of his 7 (soon to be be 8) grandkids together for a portrait. You would think that this wouldn't be all that difficult, however I assure it was quite the ordeal...
Wes, the oldest of the bunch, wears NOTHING but black, and was very resistant to having to wear a white t-shirt.
I informed him that this was for his grandfather, the same grandfather who spoiled him rotten, all he'd have to do is say "I want" and good ol Papa, would get!!
He bitched, and whined about the white t-shirt but at the end of it all I won!
Alyssa, my brothers youngest, and the only girl among them, was the most difficult.
Refusing to smile and look at the camera at the same time....
Of course babies always make any task more challenging, so Logan, my sisters first child was wiggly and whiny.
Preston and Austin, the younger two boys laying on the ground were trying too hard to keep a smile on no matter how fake it looked!
Hayden and Kyle the two 12 year olds (at the time) were fine,
very laid back, but obviously they know they're beautiful boys and the camera loves them...
In the room with the kids and the photographers, there were 2,
was my brother, sister and myself.
Of course all these 30-something grown-ups were doing everything,
from fart noises and teasing,
imitating and play fighting
just to get 7 grandchildren smiling and looking good for their grandfather....
of the seemingly millions of pictures and poses taken that day, this is one of the two poses that we chose to purchase,
the other, was the same pose but with the kids all cracking up laughing not all looking at the camera.
All in all, it was a fun day, and I dread doing it again with 8 grandchildren!

Great photo of the kids, Tracy. They are a good looking group. Congratulations on the soon to be 8th baby in the family!
This was a great idea and great wardrobe choice. Very nice family picture. :-)
