While I Hate To...

show you the boys pictures they had taken recently before they are edited and really ready for viewing...I just can't wait! Today we went to the fire station and the railroad tracks to get the boys pictures made. It was kind of thrown together at the last minute. Well, let me rephrase that. I forgot the appointment was today with the holiday and all and July snuck up on me. So, I was scrambling at the last minute to plan outfits and get haircuts, etc. But, it all worked out!

Okay, here's the lowdown before you view:

1. It is very hard to take the boys' pictures lately. Preston is just now starting to do better with the camera looking at it and not doing the cheese smile. But, he hates being told what to do. Jackson is a miniature me and is trying to "perfect" his smile all the while asking "is this one good?" so much that he ends up looking strange and weird sometimes. :)
2. The photographer is headed out of town so he rushed posting the proofs online for me to see so I wouldn't have to wait two weeks. Having said that they are completely UN-edited. If you notice, some even have grease on Preston's face from the tracks. :) So, they will be cropped (sometimes eliminating one child altogether), lighting will be adjusted, etc. later. Also, since he rushed to post them, he had to make them smaller in size. So, during the slideshow they appear blurry, but really they aren't. Also some will be black and white later on.

Other than that...ENJOY! My babies are growing so fast. I couldn't be prouder of the little boys they are becoming. Sure they have their moments. But, they are strong, smart, beautiful children. Go see for yourself. :)
