Easter Picture Take 1, 2, 3, forget it

(Ian 7, Ben 4 & Ava 2)

I have very vivid memories of Easter pictures growing up. We had a beautiful pink magnolia tree in our backyard and every year my mother tried to get a family picture in front of it whenever it bloomed. Usually this would happen some Sunday following church while dressed in our Easter best, however, I do remember one year when we specifically had to dress up just to run out and take the picture. It never failed that Illinois would have one last frost to kill all the blooms, so we'd have to do our best to beat Mother Nature.

Well, I tried to find that perfect spot for a picture this year. I really tried. Here is a look at the cooperation I received from Ian, Ava and their cousin Ben. This ordeal finally ended with Mommy losing her patience because Ava was injured by her brother's antics, and Ian sitting in a very long time out. Honestly, if you don't know how to take a picture by the age of seven you deserve to sit in a very long time out.

Ian and Ben helping Ava look at the camera. Nice boys!

Seriously Ian, everyone else was feeling the moment!

It's time to cage Ian again and Ava is ready to eat candy.

Ben you are awesome! Ian obviously had somewhere to be, silly mommy for interfering with his busy schedule.
