One thing we've always enjoyed about Lorie's ability to cut hair... the trading of services with others. Thanks to this we are able to afford pictures, that's why we get them so often. So if you think we get them ad nauseum then find another blog :) This was fun to do in the winter b/c it's so different from the usual pics we get and see from others. Enjoy...

We actually all ended up smiling in a few, we're making progress.


Could be a Christmas card if it were taken months ago :)

Ruby's face is great here, didn't laugh much all day. She's more like uncle Alex when it comes to doing family pictures.

Talk about your cheesy kids, BE NORMAL!!!!!

Cool locale.

Emmitt's boy-band pose.

Don't know why he contorts something in every pic.

Our photographer had to work for these smiles.

Not sure the cause of such dispair but it turned out to be one of my favorites.

Right before the meltdown.

That 2nd chin has to go Asa!

This is post-traumatic episode for her. No smiles, all business.

We actually got one where he's not hamming it up!

Had to tickle her to get her to be at least a little pleasant. (we bribed her also)

Gorgeous mother= handsome son.

I can't tell for sure but I think Emmitt's doing the "football neck".

Lovely.

If it weren't for his asthma he could be tickled all day and love it.

Yes, I am a conehead.
