We took the kids to get their pictures taken the day after everyone got here. We figured the earlier the better so that they really didn't know each other and would hopefully get along. It was really hard to get all the kids to sit still long enough to get their picture. I swear they were put in 5 different poses before we finally got one picture. Blair fell asleep on the car ride over so she wasn't very happy when she got woken up. She cried the whole time so I finally caved and gave her her pacifier so that she would at least be content. Thanks to Gma all the kids had matching outfits.

Easton 3, Ashlyn 2, Aaron 4, Blair 1, Aiden 1, and Kadyn 3 (missing Kannon 1, Caleb 10, and MJ 16). We sure missed you guys!

My mom wanted a picture of her with the grand kids but we only got one and it was horrible. The ones with her and the boys and her with the girls turned out way better so we went with those instead.

We decided to get a whole group picture in hopes that the kids would stay still long enough. They stayed still but we weren't really able to get a picture with everyone looking.

Whole group.

I tried to take Blair's pacifier right before the picture was taken so that we would have one of her without it and not crying. I succeeded in doing that but unfortunately she was also trying to find her pacifier when the picture was taken. I think Aaron was too interested in what I was doing instead of the camera.

Thanks to the photographer we were finally able to get a picture of Blair without her pacifier, not crying, and actually looking at the camera.

Of course we had to get a sister picture.

After pictures we went home and the kids played in the pool and had a water fight with the squirt guns Gma got all of them.
