The Secret is OUT!

My awesome photographer Mom came to visit us this past weekend specifically to capture some family pictures for us.

I learned something during that photo shoot...

Ya know all those pictures all over Pinterest with the perfect families, with perfect kids, with perfect smiles, with perfect poses? A little too perfect and a lot too unrealistic for my expectations.

Bubs had a horrible nap, didn't eat much food most of the day, was cold, wanted the playground, and was super cranky about anything and everything. 

Thus, we didn't get any pictures of him smiling. ...not that he smiles for cameras anyway.

Overall it was a learning experience with some fun parts.

But, the most important thing? We got some amazing shots of my beautiful family. I can't wait to print them and add more pictures to our walls!

Enjoy!

If you like what you see, you can contact my mom. She works in the Kansas City area. Here blog is here. 

Note to self: puppies are even harder to photograph than toddlers.

Put them together? Good. Luck.

Oh yeah, we're having a baby!!!

Apparently he is not very happy about this...

We also bribed with goldfish.

Gosh, I married a hunky babe!

Story of our life.

He's got a mind and personality of his own.

"Uh, Mom? Dad? What are you doing?"

Love this!

I love my sweet little family!!!

Baby #2 due: May 20, 2013.

We couldn't be more excited!

And more relieved that I don't have to suck in my belly, make up excuses for not running in the cold, and feel great about midnight Taco Bell runs. Phew!
