I have been so bad at my family blog lately and I'm feelin' the guilt everyday. I have bunches of pics to post and am finding procrastination to be so easy - shame on me! In the meantime we have been having such a blast these past few days with my brother and his awesome family in town. Granted, it's a bit hotter than we promised them it would be, but their kiddos are lovin' the pool so we can't complain to much. Per my mom's strict orders it was mandatory that family photos be done while they were here, so I played both photographer and photo subject. It was actually quite hystercial...I could only imagine what I looked like running back and forth from the camera/tripod to the family group. There were some kind people that stopped and offered to just click the shutter button for us, but as the crazed control freak person that I am I promptly shooed them away and said 'no thanks, I got it covered'. Here's your sneak peek mom!
