Addison's 1 Year Pictures

So I went to picture people and they were actually good today. They didn't make me wait an hour like last time. Addison did not have a good time though. I sat her in the middle and went behind the photographer to make her smile. She got about 2 pictures where she was straight faced and wouldn't smile. All of a sudden she looked all around her and then busted out in the biggest cry I have ever seen her do. She was crying so hard that she was shaking and hyperventilating. So the photographer decided to give us some blocks to play with and stepped out to get her familiar with her surroundings. She played for a while and crawled around gathering and stacking the blocks. Once the photographer came back in she dived towards me and clung on for dear life. What we had to do then was have me sit in the picture and sit her on my outstretched legs and have her play with the blocks. She was still able to be with me but they got some head shots of her without me. She then started warming up, crawling around by herself playing with the blocks but the second the photographer would try to take a picture she would see and dive towards me again. We finally got some good shots so I decided to forgo the second outfit that I brought. The pictures that I posted are from the website so they have that logo on them but atleast you can see them .

Kids and Pictures

Well today I decided to take a break from the kitchen and take the kids for pictures at Picture People. I rarely see Adam because both of us work full time and have opposite schedules. I work nights and weekends, he works days and weekdays. He is off of work this week to watch the kids while I work on the kitchen with my dad. My dad is a temple worker at the Sacramento Temple and his days to go are Wednesday mornings. I thought it would be perfect to schedule picture time. I made an appointment at 11am. Perfect! Just before the kids naps. Well they didn't get us in to take pictures until noon. An hour after our appointment. I was very annoyed. Picture People is usually really good about not having people wait. The last couple of times I went it has been getting worse. I am almost thinking about going somewhere else.
I did their individual pictures first and then our Easter pictures. Well once we got to the Easter picture part they have had it. When one was smiling the other one was crying. Landon does this funny thing now where if you say "don't smile" then he will smile really big. We thought we would try it for the pictures. He did it but would lose his pose in the mean time by leaning back on dad or uncrossing his feet. Now I understand why people take less and less family pictures when have more kids. If it is this hard trying to get two kids to look at the camera and smile what are we going to do when we have 5 or 6 kids?
