On A Lighter Note...

Last Saturday my friend, Rachel Owens, agreed to do a family photo shoot. It was chaos, but a fun time. She sent us a few pictures to preview and they look great. Above is a sample (our lovely new "The Coutts Family in Scotland" header). I am sooooo excited about them. I will be sure to share more when I get them!

Later that day we were playing in the backyard. For some crazy reason I decided I wanted to get a shot of the 4 boys. Here they are, in order:

Elijah: "Mom! Matty's got dirt all over his face! Is he trying to eat another rock?"

Jesse: "Let me in here!"

Mattias & Brady: "Cheese!"

Me: "Elijah, don't worry about it, just hold onto Jesse and smile nice for the camera!"

Jesse to Elijah: "Mmmmah! Mmmmah!" (he loves giving kisses)

Matty & Brady: "Are we done yet?"

Me: "Come on, let's try one more time."

Elijah: "How's this, Mom?"

Jesse: "I'm outta here!"

Matty: "Come on, Mom"

Brady: "Cheese!"

Jon: "Come on now, Elijah & Jesse! Mom wants one nice picture of you guys!"

Brady: "I'm going to lose it, Mom. I can only smile for so long."

Matty: "Look! I have fingers!"

Me: "Okay, last try. For real."

Elijah: "Cheese."

Jesse: "Mmmah!"

Matty: "Is that a rock?"

Brady: "Cheese!"

And so it goes. Luckily we have some better shots from Rachel!
