There is a reason we don’t have more shots of Susan and me with all four of our kids.
Now, I have so much more empathy for my parents when they were trying to get family photos of us growing up. There were four of us kids in our family and we all dreaded the annual family photo. (The outtakes are hilarious to look at now though!)

We go through the same ordeal every Christmas with our four boys. But that’s okay…they’re not perfect in real life, so why should they be perfect in their pictures? The silly ones are always good for a laugh.
It looks like the photographer captured each personality just right. 🙂 Happy W.W.
Looks like a fun picture – kids seem to be doing their own thing but that’s what makes it look more fun!
what a fun family pic! your kids are all so adorable! 🙂
That’s a great shot! Love it!
My little lady went swimming for the first time on Sunday, so cute!

That’s a great shot. So real! LOL. It takes me a lot of time to get a shot of myself and my four too. When taking pics of the kids a sense of humor is always necessary.
LOL – that just shows us a bit of what you go through :o)
Too cute – good luck!
love that pic!
I have SO many of these pictures. I thought it was bad with just 2, but adding a third is utter mayhem. I find it interesting that it’s our middle one who absolutely HATES it when the camera comes out.
Wow- what a great photo. You all look so happy. 🙂 Happy WW!
Definitely hard to get a pic of so many, but what fun it is! 😀
Ummmm, now you know what it’s like for me to get all my kiddos together for a photo!! Four girls age 3 and under…. just like herding cats, I like to think.
fun! this is my first week! that pic- the story of our life, no?
Excellent! We have so many of those shots, we’re so lucky to have digital cameras these days!
hi-larious! 🙂
True words… we have four kids and getting a group shot is tough, but funny for sure!!!
Looks like quite an accomplishment 🙂 How lucky you are to have such a great friend!
What a fun shot!
Adorable!! It’s nice to have a perfectly posed shot of everyone, but these outtakes are wonderful for the personality shining through!
Hilarious! I’m sure you’ll look back on this with fond memories.
Very cute photo! Kids are so funny! My boys are the same way!
You guys are so cute!
What a great family shot, squirming notwithstanding. 😉
Looks just like our family shots. In the last one, my niece is leaning back, and it looks like she doesn’t have a head. Oh, well. Someone has to sacrifice, right?
That’s a great shot. I love outtakes and candid shots too. The subjects look less fake.
You all are so cute! What nice families you have!
Special moments & photo ~ it’ll be so nice to look back upon some day!
Group photos (especially with kids) are rough, aren’t they? I like them with a bit of personality, though 🙂
HILARIOUS!!!!! 😀 Glad my family is not the only family that takes pictures like that….but hey at least they are REAL, right??!! 🙂 Have a great day y’all!
Yep, I know about those attempts at a family picture. Sometimes I think it might be easier to just photoshop one together out of many different pictures. 🙂
What a fun portrait of all of you!
Ah, that’s a great shot!! I love photos like that.
Cute…the little one on the right appears to be participating in “silly picture” mode. :O)
Nice family photo the kids are adorable.
LOL! I love it!
I think it is great fun!
What a great pic!
I can definitely relate to the struggles of a family portrait with multiple children. It’s still adorable, though!!
Too funny! LOL! 😀
The Baby looks like she is acting just as goofy as the older boy.
These kind of pictures make the best memories though. 😉
haha! so cute. A for effort.
At least you can look back and have a laugh remembering how you always tried to get it together. Maybe when they are older, it might get better? Maybe?
yes, taking family photos with children really can take a group effort….love that pic !!
It’s a fun picture! Love the look on the baby’s face. To cute!
Nice shot but yep it sure it hard to everyone to look at the camera at the same time lol.
Fabulous pic!
that is great. y’all should totally frame that one!
That is a great shot — such perfect expressions on all the kiddos!
We have had the same trouble with capturing photos of our two sons and my niece. Still those funny shots are priceless like the one above 🙂
Those shots are not easy – you did pretty well. At least you can see everyone’s head! Nice job – they’re adorable!!
Come check out my new meme, Pet Peeve Tuesday!
That is too funny! Not one of the kids is looking directly at the camera with both eyes!! How cute!
There are three times we attempt family photos: Christmas, Easter and at the beach in the summer. These are the only times I’m concerned my children might need therapy ’cause I’m so manic about it (which doesn’t help a bit).
This shot of y’all? STINKIN’ ADORABLE! It’s just “life” bein’ lived, ya know?
So wish Susan was making a stop in Chattanooga on her way to Atlanta; OR that I was still living in Atlanta…I’d show her the town and I’m pretty sure we’d never stop talking blawg stuff!
Susan if you check in, you’ve gotta eat at The Varsity downtown….it’s an institution!
🙂
Oh, that’s a very cute family picture ! so natural !
Great photo! I know what you mean about getting lots of kids to smile…at the same time with OPEN eyes~ we have 5 kids and family photos are hilarious!!!!!!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. My kids think it’s hilarious to make faces. Or close their eyes. Or look at the floor…
I LOVE that photo. It’s so much more you guys than a “proper” posed one would be.
LOVE the picture! You girls are gorgeous! You look identical. Are you? I have twins who are 6 months old and I have been asked that question about a million times, so I guess you’ve probably been asked about 20 million. Anyway, great photo! Thanks for all you do!
Mine is up, actually early this time. Come check it out. This photo showcases my son’s favorite accessory….

BTW, love all of the different faces in this photo…priceless!
It takes some effort in getting kids for a group photo for sure 😛
That’s cute of all of you! Sometimes the photos are better when they show real life!
Too cute!! I love all the different expressions on the kids faces.
This week, mine is Jr. Chef!! Happy WW!!
Love the picture of you all together!!
These are the good ones, and there is nothing like sisters! 😀
Great picture how wonderful you all look, I love Julia’s face and also Jackson as well..
What a happy family!
The boy in your picture reminds me of my son – clowning around in pix.
This week my Wordless Wednesday is Four Views of Le Carrousel in Bryant Park (I went there with my son yesterday.)
Oh but it’s so fun to see the attempts! I love this photo! 🙂
I love this picture… So very typical of kids to goof off in front of the camera!
Oh, but these types of portraits are just so much more fun to look at! 🙂 You should frame it.
That photo is priceless!
Looks like a typical shot with kids – you can never get them all straight!
Oh yeah, this is a great shot! I love Olivia’s face (she’s the one on the far right, right?) Too fun – y’all look great! : )
THAT is a priceless photo. I love the expressions and body language going on here. Precious.
BTW, looking good ladies.
Hey, look, it’s all of you together!
🙂
Nice photo.
