Crazy Randoms

So over the past week I have attempted to take pictures of my 3 LOVELY little children. It has definately been quite a task let me tell you. Times were very frustrating. But, to say the least I tried. My baby girl is too much fun to photograph lately. She is loving the whole posing thing. It is absolutely precious. The first photo she say's "Peace mamma"! She litterally got up on the couch, laid on her side and put her hand on her chin. Something about the look on her face just makes me smile ear to ear.
This is definately one of my new favorite pictures of her. I am going to have to mess around with it a little bit because I am thinking it might be beautiful in black and white.

Here are my three little ANIMALS! Colby, Brendan, & Chaley. These 3 little gifts from god are SO SO different in many ways. Colby is my little worker. He loves to help do ANYTHING - even if it is washing dishes or scrubbing the floor. He is a little smarty pants in school and everyone just loves him. He is my cool dude. When you walk through the hall ways at school everyone is chasig him down. I think he might be Mr. Popularity! Blush Blush - I love my Colbster (even if he is Mr. Snagel tooth right now - he is definately going to be wanting his two front teeth for chrismtas this year). Brendan is my smart, intellegent, difficult child. I love this boy more than anything. He is definately just way too smart for his own good and he tries to use it to his own advantage not any one else's. This little boy is so dang cute but he struggles with his self esteem. Not sure why but he dose and that ALONE can break any mom's heart. Miss Chaley is my challenging child. But, I tell ya she is a fire ball. She is such a social butterfly. She loves to sing & dance. She will do whatever she can to put a smile on your face. Isn't she beautiful??

As I am trying to take a picture of my three lovely children in front of the tree yesterday - Brendan say's lets do something funny. So I said okay. This is what he wanted to do. Cute picture too bad it's blury and out of order. Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil. I am honeslty really not sure which way it goes - I just know the way they are standing is not correct. Glad they had fun doing it.

This is our family shot in front of the tree. I had to pull my tripod out of the closet. Blow the dust off from it and then let my hubby rig it up to hold the camera. I was missing the part that connect to the camera to hold it onto the tri pod. It's all good though - I gave my husband a "project" and he was all over it. Decent picture (Actually the 1st picture ever when all three kids were looking and half way smiling) BUT of course it turned out blurry. I will have to see if I can somehow fix that. Don't mind the stockings haven't gotten them hung up the right way yet.

The next few photo's are of the 3 ANIMALS in front of the tree. Brendan is not thrilled at all. He was making me so mad. All he had to do was crack a little smile for .00234 of a second. But, he would not. You will notice in a couple of them he is bald. (Just another reason why he struggles with his self esteem - poor guy) We have been having quit the issue going on with him. He starting losing his hair and pulling it out. They have not diagnosed the problem yet. I hope to find out something on Thursday at the doctor's office. Anyone ever hear of this?!!

Love your children! Hug & Kiss them as much as you can. They thrive on the love and attention they recieve from their parents! They may be naughty at times. They may down right just make you want to scream - but know they are amazing little creatures and they love you just as much as you love them - even if they do not show it!!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
