They said CHEESE!!!

Everyone thinks I must have the best pictures of my kids--but in reality it is so much easier getting pictures of other peoples children. Today was gorgeous outside so I thought I would have a chance of getting Brody's 1 year picture and maybe if I was very lucky Lily's 4 year old picture. My mom was there to help out. I got some cute ones--but of course, my favorite has my mom's leg in it. Oh well, there were some others that were good too.
My biggest surprise was cooperation from Lily. Now those of you that know her well, know that she is not a big fan of having her picture taken. Well, I bribed her with the promise of gum and I got about 5 or 6 pictures that I just love. She is getting very good at trying to pose how I ask her too, and I thing she is starting to realize that the sooner she does what I want, the sooner she gets done. She even gave me her "magic smile" without any coaxing.
