Easter fun...




I wish Nicole's eyes were open for this one....since it's the only one Ellie smiled in and doesn't look like she was being strangled in to keep her there!


How boring....just pictures of Sunday. I took pictures of the easter egg hunt at the park...but I wasn't impressed with the outcome, so I'm not sharing. :) The kids were just happy about the candy, and didn't care about posing anyway! Taking Sunday pictures are always fun. As parents, we have to get the cute shots of the new easter clothes, but the kids could care less, and are so hopped up on chocolate and sugar that I could hardly get a good shot, since the kids are a blur in real life! Jared would literally run a lap around the front yard between every picture attempt. Riley isn't present in the pictures. She was acting very 14 that morning, and wouldn't uncross her arms and only scowl for the pictures. In trying to get her to stop and give a smile, Jared and or Ellie would take off running, so I gave up! I'm going to take the kids in their outfits to the tulip festival in about three weeks and hopefully get some good shots, when I have Ron's help in corralling them! Riley too, whether she likes it or not! And a big shout-out thank you to Crazymama for the bow inspiration and tutorial!

So cute and Easter-y!!!

I've given up on the Easter outfits this year...the girls aren't into it anymore (plus they're not as fun to dress as they used to be)...and the boys have never cared...so, I didn't even try....I probably should have though...

Those are some great shots of your kiddos! I love that black and white one of Ellie!--could she HAVE more beautiful eyes?...just like her mama! :)

I love the black and white ones. The shot of Ellie by herself is super cute! I of course totally forgot to take pictures of my kids in their Easter finery. Duh.

Those dresses are so beautiful!! Love the matching bows. And I am cracking up at Riley...I remember 14 VERY WELL. I was really not nice to my mother. My sainted sweetheart of a mother...
Don't worry, this too shall pass! (Look how well I turned out!!) hee hee hee!

They look adorable. I know your frustration with taking pictures of the kids...I tried my best too. Can't wait to see the tulip pictures. I think I am going to get tickets to the festival for my MIL. She goes every year!
