Pretty girls!

OK, so I'm not doing very good on my weekly updates already and I just started back!!! I'm so sorry! I do want to be better!!! Somehow, I have got to make the time for my blog each week!

Well, over Memorial Day weekend, I took the girls to get their pictures made Friday afternoon(total last minute decision that morning). I barely made it there on time running around like a chicken with my head cut-off since Matt was gone, and then after an hour at Portrait Innovations with VERY LITTLE COOPEARTION from #1, #2 and #3, I left without buying a single picture! It was so defeating! I felt like I would probably be better off to never attempt professional pictures again if this is how it would be! For those of you that done know, when we are speaking in code (usually around Campbell) we refer to the girls as #1, #2 and #3 ... Campbell being #1, Cooper #2 and Conley #3 - no favortism here people, simply the order they were born! #1 was actually very cooperative for her individual shots, but then decided she was not going to be a part of any pictures with her sisters - so sweet. Sadly, none of Campbell's individual shots turned out that cute anyways. #2 cried the entire time, but bless her heart she ended up to have a fever. Seriously, she has a terrible mommy that insisted on dragging her to get her pictures taken when she didn't feel good! #3 was just as content as could be but absolutely insisted on giving the serious stare down to the photographer with no hint of a smile. It was so frustrating! Conley and Cooper both have the biggest smiles usually, and this was just not going to happen that day. I must say that our photographer was as sweet as she could be. She agreed that we did not have enough luck that day and suggested I just come back another time. She didn't make me feel bad at all about leaving having purchased NOTHING. Ugh! I still can't believe that day. I rescheduled to come back Sunday of that same weekend...I'm a brave and determined woman, let me tell ya!

Sunday was off to a better day, so I was very hopeful that we would have more luck. Matt was with me this time, so I was extra hopeful that the girls would cooperate as he doesn't have the same patience and determination as me to get good pictures! Don't get me wrong, the man has a lot of patience to even make the trip with his picture-crazed wife and THREE little girls, but he would certainly throw in the towel and give up much earlier than I would when it comes to a photo shoot! Although #2 and #3 were not nearly as smiley as we are used to seeing them, we still got some very precious pictures! I'd call our second attempt a success! Here you can see for yourself:

These are not the BEST pictures we've ever gotten of the three of them, but we were still very happy with them. It is so hard to get all three girls to put on their best smiles at the same time while sitting appropriately and looking at the camera - whew, I'm just tired thinking about it!!! Campbell has the hardest time trying to process all the many instructions (tilt your head, smile bigger, look at the camera, keep your hands down...), so usually she ends up looking elsewhere.

I love this one of the twins! They are so stinkin' cute if I do say so! It's hard to get a picture of them before they spot each others bows, because then they start ripping headbands off each other. It's so funny!

We got the best one of Cooper laying on her belly. We were lucky to get a shot of her without too much drool - my goodness the girl was drooly that day! She finally cut her first tooth this past weekend.

We got the best one of Conley sitting up. She would NOT give us her normal smile with her cute dimples, but she was still was very sweet and cooperative.

Campbell was very cooperative! This was probably the best picture that was the most natural pose and smile.

I do love this picture of Campbell too - gotta love her laugh!

These close-up profiles are my favorites!! They are so precious of all three girls! I especially love Conley's sassy pose! Campbell looks so genuinely happy and you can see her cute "frinkle" on her nose. This one shows off Cooper's pretty blue eyes so much too!

There's Conley's precious dimples finally!!!

Cooper cut her first tooth this weekend, but you still can't hardly see it. Conley is army crawling ALL over the place!!! Campbell is bravely getting right back to where she left off with swimming last year. The summer is off to a great start!

This past weekend we took a trip to Glen Rose with our Home Team. It was so fun! I will post pictures soon!!!
