Alright, since I have been getting complaints that I don't blog enough random stuff (Stephanie) and some figured out that we got pictures done (Leah and Bre) I will do a post just for you guys. I debated on whether or not to get family pictures done this year. Getting a 1 1/2 year old to sit still and to smile at the same time was just ragging on my mind. All the Goodman girls remember the haynes experience of trying to get 2 one year olds to sit still for grandchildren pictures last year and did I really want to relive that again. I guess as time goes by you forget about things and think "oh that wasn't so bad, he has grown up a little since then". Hmm...nope he hasn't! My deepest apology to you Kacy and Jake for putting up with us during this photo shoot. As you can see Lane did not want ANYTHING to do with pictures
until the bitter end when I finally remembered that I had this:nesting in the bottom of my purse. The poor kid has had a rough past week. We all know his beloved pair of green pajama pants that he has in his hands day and night. Well, they have found a new home somewhere in between the Gap and the carousel ride at Superstition Springs mall. You would think after retracing your steps for an hour, and then some, you would have found them by now. He is having a difficult time without them and could only manage to sleep 3 hours that night while trying to bond with his 2nd favorite in line, the red long sleeve shirt. So PLEASE, if you happen to be shopping at the mall and want to go on a little treasure hunt, there might be a huge reward granted for the finder of the crusty green pair of pants!








Ok, so the picture experience wasn't that bad. How could you resist being frustrated with that handsome face?! Those were some of my top picks but my favorite pose is not posted yet and will be revealed on our Christmas card... I know the suspense is killing you all. Oh, and I'm not kidding about that reward!

You are freaking killing me!!!!!!!!
LOVE LOVE the pics! Perfect colors on all of those beautiful faces!
Ps- how did the second night go with Lane and no green pants? Was he asleep when you got home late that night? I hope so...for little guy.

See, was that so hard? Not a random post, it was legit, but still good. Cute pics, Lane has the chubbiest cheeks. I want a girl until I look at Lane, then I want a boy. Actually I just want HIM. If you could ship him out to me, I'd love to have something to do. So can you buy similar pants somewhere? Too bad there was no back up. I'd be at the mall in a second if I could.

Leah Martineau said...

Thank you for the new post!! =) I love the pictures. The pictures we took last year Ryker never has a smile, but as long as the mom looks good who cares about everyones else right?? And you look so good =) Lane totally looks like Casey in that last picture with that half smile. So you never said where you took them?? Is it a secret?? So stinky about the green pants. Ryker was really never attached to anything (will his binky) but not like Lane is to those green pants.

Adam and Jess said...

So the question seems to be "Where did you take the pictures?" I want to know too. She did such an awesome job, too bad we moved and can't have her take ours too

SunGood said...

Darling pics Shelley! Makes me feel so guilty..I haven't gotten the girls pics in forever! It's been on my to do list for months now! I'm just a slacker!! I love how yours turned out!

Blaylock said...

Your family is super cute! Love the pictures! Hope the lost green pants aren't an issue any more!

Steph (and Bryant) said...

Cute pics. Dang I haven't checked blogs forever. Sorry to hear about Lane's pants. Has he found a replacement yet?!? See you tomorrow.

Breanna and Martin said...

Shelleyyyyyyyyyy! Yay! I have been waiting! I am beyond excited to see the grand pic. With a beautiful family like yours, I know it is going to be amazing!
That is really tragic for Lane! Poor little guy! But how sweet of his mommy to look for over an hour! Aw you are just the best!

Unknown said...

Shelley---I so did not get my braces off. I am supposed to have them til Dec. 2009...ughh! Bre just thinks they look straight so I should post an updated pic! We will see if that ever happens ;) Thanks again for watching the kids yesterday. I may have to take you up on the offer to watch them for every appt! You are great. Thanks again.

Stephanie said...

Very cute! Where did you take those pics?

Brandis said...

Ha, ha, come over anytime! :) Hmmm, freezer jam advice. 1. don't plan on doing anything else that day. 2. don't try to make more than 1 batch at a time or it might not set up right. 3. dunk the peaches in boiling water for a minute & ice water for a couple minutes and the skins will slip right off AND the jam will be a prettier color. :) I'll totally help you if you want!

TIFFANY said...

Aww I'm sad Lane lost his green pants!

Hey Shelley! I haven't had my computer on since Thursday, so I just saw your comments on my blog. THANK YOU. That was really sweet of you. I think you are so great.
