Four Generations

So while my grandma was here with my folks, we decided to get some four generation pictures. Of course it was ridiculously hard to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time, and when we finally did, someone's head was cut off!!! :) Here are some of the best (mind you we took about 55 pics or more trying to get some where most of us were looking and some of us were smiling!)

This started out good. Both looking at the camera and smiling


Then we added John and somehow there was something fascinating on the ground.


Grandma lost interest, but the boys were still fascinated


Attempting to get Ben to look up from the ground


The best of this pose, still not great so let's try

placing the chair with the sun at the back

Well, we got John to look, but Grandma's looking at Ben, who's looking at John. Ay!


Well we got John to look and Grandma to smile, and Ben to somewhat look

So, then we added two more people, and:

dad got cut out, and I'm trying to get Ben too look


Well, dad made it in, but only Grandma and I are looking and John is starting to have a meltdown!


The best we could get with all of us. Unfortunately John is yawning and dad is frowning

My folks needed a new facebook picture, so we took some updated ones, as the last profile pic was in this same location with just John when he was around a year old. Aw the joys of getting two under two to cooperate. And of course now John refuses to look at the camera, and would rather be the one taking the picture, so I get back or side shots of him. Ay!
