Behind the scenes...THIS is what happens in order to get the first pictures.
"Girls, stick your heads around Ben. Hurry, I am about to drop your brother." 
Jess-lose the blanket, Amber- your hair is fine and lose the glasses. 
"Man, that sand sure does look nice to play in. This is boring," thinks Luke.
Alexis- let's wait till after all the pictures to throw crackers to the birds.
Where are the three boxes of snacks I brought for the kids?
"Girls, stick your heads around Ben. Hurry, I am about to drop your brother." "She is squishing me." "No I am not!" "Are, too!"
"Ben, just a few more. Please smile and unfold your arms. PLEASE smile. I'll give you a cookie after. I'll give you two treats. You won't have to take a nap." "Alexis, it is too fair. You never have to take a nap. Yes, all of you can get two treats if you smile."
"Ben, just a few more. Please smile and unfold your arms. PLEASE smile. I'll give you a cookie after. I'll give you two treats. You won't have to take a nap." "Alexis, it is too fair. You never have to take a nap. Yes, all of you can get two treats if you smile."
Jess-lose the blanket, Amber- your hair is fine and lose the glasses. Ben, quit pulling down Nana's shirt. Jaime-it isn't cold.
Brett-smile. Grampy, Alexis, Daisy, Autumn, Luke- Look this way.
WHERE'S DAVID AND RHET???
Elise, thank you- practically perfect in every way.
"Man, that sand sure does look nice to play in. This is boring," thinks Luke.Alexis- let's wait till after all the pictures to throw crackers to the birds.Where are the three boxes of snacks I brought for the kids?An hour later...
Things to do: give kids treats, go to a restaurant, aplogize for being bossy about people hurrying (and grabbing arms to put people in place), thank yoiu note to Brett's mom for taking pictures, redo my "beach hair" (Yes, I combed my hair for pictures. Straightened and nice. Thank you, Florida humidity), get pictures to CVS before their 10c special ends,
TAKE A NAP!!!
Oh, and for those that haven't seen me in a while and are thinking, "Oh, how cute, Jess gained a few pounds but what a sweet family." Well, first of all- RUDE. Second of all, see that little baby...well, fat baby, it's mine. I gave birth to a huge meloned baby two months ago. I have to eat twice my normal diet to keep him satisfied. Give me a break! (and a year or two)
