I have decided to share some of the fun and crazy adventures that my family has- on family fridays! These posts won’t be regular but will allow you to get to know me and my gang just a little bit more. I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Canada Day was a while ago (July 1st for anyone not Canadian who follows) and I returned home just in time to celebrate with my crew. Every year we participate in the full assortment of events (even though this year I was really feeling the jet lag or just exhaustion from my trip). We went down to our local park and watched the parade, took park in the free kid activities and the midway and of course, returned later that evening for the fireworks!
This is my youngest, Ellery (almost three). Pretty cute, right?
Here are both my kids- Austin is 10 and is not always willing to participate in a photo. Currently my albums look like I only have one child… I hope he grows out of it! Lucky me though, he didn’t notice so I grabbed a pic of him and Ellery on the boats- I LOVE this because it shows just what a great brother to her he is. He is loving, helpful and takes such good care of her (they do have their moments but overall the age gap between them worked out great!).
Another! I tell you he was in a good mood that day!
Ellery also was able to experience midway rides for the first time- she loved them… little daredevil!
Until we craft again, The Brae-er
My “little” guy turned 20 this year and he hates to have his picture taken as well…I usually make a deal with him when we are going to an event where pictures will be taken…1 or 2 posed shots and then the rest will be candid ones he is not aware of!! Seems to have worked so far!
I understand completely! My “little guy” is 23 and I prepare him in advance and then snap away. If I only get pictures of him with attitude, turning away, or making “that face” (you all know the one), then I scrap them anyway! Sometimes he’s very co-operative, but usually, I end up with “that face”.
Since he graduated from college, I’ve been working on a picture my life type of album and been asking him to take a few pictures when he has something special going on. The first time, I got 3 pictures of the scenery at the cottage he went to. Its been growing a bit at a time and there are now more pictures … some even with people in them! He’s away again this weekend … I’m hoping for 7 pics!
