One afternoon I got the 4 big kids all dressed up in their cowboy duds. We put boots on Martin, Millie and Bella and tied pieces of leather around their ankles to make spurs, found at least 1 holster and belt for all of them and put on cowboy hats. They were all so happy and having a great time. Then came picture time...all of a sudden Bella and Elaina weren't having fun anymore. I think it was because I put all three girls on Boots (the miniature horse) and he moved which surprised them all and they started crying. I took pictures anyway...after all we went through a lot of effort to get everyone looking that way. Bella got happy again once she got off Boots, so we went to the hay bales and took more pictures. Elaina is steadily crying and no funny face I make is cheering her up which is funny, because she is the easiest one for me to get to smile. I found it rather comical...me with a camera, saying silly stuff and making silly faces and not getting an ounce of happy feedback from Elaina. Oh well. I took a few more pictures and then we were done. It was quite fun.

Hey there!! Love all the new posts complete with pictures! Your children are adorable. I was at a wedding recently where the photographer had success with getting the kids to smile by telling them to yell "YES" at him. They seemed to respond better to that and actually smiled at the camera. :) The cowboy and cowgirl pictures are cute even though the little one is crying. :)
