Wordful Wednesday- Supermodels...we are not!!

Many of you already know that we had a little belated B-day BBQ for my JD Boy on Sunday. After the party I asked the hubby if he could take some pictures of the birthday boy and me. I am never in the pictures because I am always the one TAKING them. Anyway, getting this kid to smile nicely (key word) is like trying to get him to relinquish his claim on my living room as "his field"...not gonna happen. Between JD Boy's inability to smile like a "normal boy", Hubby's dee-dee-dee handling of the camera, and my quitting attitude we turned out some LOVELY shots. I'm talking front cover of Vanity Fair, BAY-BEE!!!!

We begin with the open mouth pose (at least there wasn't food in his mouth)

Ok, let's change background and try the "sit in lap" pose, Uh No...looking a little "strained" there
buddy.

Maybe if I move in closer and give him the "squishy, wishy mommy hug" pose...apparently, he is sour on that idea as evident by the pucker on his face.

Time to change pose..let's try the stand by and look at each other adoringly...no, no son, you look at me, and what's with that "strained" look again...you need more fish oil dear???

I give up...Honey, just take the flippin' pictures and I'll just pose "JD Boy style" too, what the heck if you can't beat 'em...right??

And Finally....I think a semi-decent picture (at least of me anyway)

Amy Update: She may be cured of her fear of flying after this little road trip. Let's just say flat tires, over heated engines, and over 100 degree weather don't mix well with a mom, a grammy, and three little girls.

**Ok, I don't know how this happened. It's late and I'm a dork. However, the link to Angie's SevenClownCircus got messed up and now if you click on any of the text below my signature, it will link you through to her site. So, no pretty button, just my lame explanation of how un-techy I am that I can't even set up a link right.
