We decided that we needed to take a picture of all the cousins on the Ritchie side while everyone was here for the summer. So we planned this great day to meet at the picture studio. Wow was that not a good idea. Collin decided to have a major break down in the picture studio he was just not having it he would not sit with the kids at all. The rest of the kids which included 3 babies a 2 year old a few 4 year olds and the rest of my kids were sitting beautifully and happy as could be it was just Collin. I tried to get my sister in laws to take the picture without Collin but they all refused and we settled on eating lunch and trying again afterward. By this time the rest of the babies and younger ones were not wanting to sit still. So anyway we got a picture with all of them in it not a good one but they are all in it. When I got home I did my own photo shoot. It's a process but as you can see I got a few good ones. Next time we'll have to just go to the park instead of a studio.
did you try bribing him like Kate (from Jon and Kate plus 8 :) I think yours turned out pretty darn cute anyway. And Collin was as happy as good be. little stinker. I really like the one of him holding the baseball he looks darling. That little Kirra is so darn cute too!
Dave and I have been married for 13 years. We have 6 beautiful and wonderful kids. We live in New Mexico where Dave works hard as a Police Officer and we also have a billboard business that takes a lot of work to maintain. I'm a very busy mom running kids here and there but I'm blessed to be able to stay at home with them. We love our life and we love the adventures we are able to have together!
Gabby is 11 going on 18. These preteen years are very exciting. She is my very best helper. I don't know what I would do without her. She is very smart and does well in school. She is in a dance group that preforms all over and she loves it. She's in piano and is very good at it. She loves taking care of her little brothers and sisters and can't wait till she can start babysitting. I can't wait either.
