Go Cougars!

I have the hardest time getting pictures of Ella and Christian. They hardly ever want to look at the camera and smile. Frequently they are crying when the camera is out because they want to look at the pictures, but this starts the second I get the camera out so I haven't had a chance to take a picture for them to look at. But the hardest thing is to get both of them in a picture together smiling. Here are a few lucky shots and some that are not.Ella and Christian decorating some Valentine's Day cupcakes.

Trying to get a cute picture, but Christian was not cooperating.

Ella being a little mother and trying to comfort Christian.Ella and Christian showing off their BYU shirts courtesy of Grandpa Kevin. They love to wear them, but not because they are fans of BYU. They don't even know what BYU is, but they love having a Cougar on their shirt.
We had to be quick to get these shots. They really love each other!

Oh my goodness you have cute kids ever!! Maybe you could cut a hole in a cereal box and "disguise" your camera...I'm just saying you could...

I am a big fan of those shiets-at least they have your dad watching out for them to make sure they are dressed appropriately!

Im with Tahnie- camera incognito. I love that your kids wear those cute monkeys on their backs...i think that is what those are in one pic. the better to keep a handle on them eh?!

These pictures are great! You guys always seem to be doing such fun things with the kids. Makes me want to have some of my own. Glad things are going so well for you guys out in Utah, although we miss you here in Colorado!!! Tell Austin hi for me.

Good for Grandpa Kevin!!! Get them started off on the right track. . . even if to them it is just a shirt with a wild animal on it. So cute Kensey!

I agree with 'local mormon." Utah State gear is the way to go. You don't have to get USU football gear (we don't want to promote failure) but you could get them basketball USU gear, hockey, gymnastics, volleyball. Oh and I also have a good way to get pics of your kids. Get yourself on a reality TV show (it could be called Kensey's Kanoodlings-- I'm just sayin')and your kids will be so used to cameras that the won't be interested in them anymore.
