A bag of Skittles
That's what we look like here, all the colors of the rainbow. You would not believe how cold it was outside and yet, how good the boys were to endure the conditions-especially Nate. I am pleased that we are all at least looking at the camera and smiling. Because of this, I can overlook that blown out white background-yeesh! This is going to be our New Years card picture. I just didn't get organized enough to get out Christmas cards, so I figured I'd start a new tradition by sending out cards in January. In 2008, I really want to focus on getting more of me in pictures since I seem to always be behind the camera. I went through Andrew's baby book and was disspointed to see myself in a handful of photos. I'm going to change that with nate's book, having many more photos of momma.
Oh, and just so you know that my boys (including DH) are not always cooperative, here is what a dozen or so shots before looked like. Don't you just love the remote in my hand? Thank God for LCD screens!!

Love this picture and that you made it your banner...that is my goal too, get in front of the camera more. your family is so cute and the last one is priceless.
That's a great family picture! I feel you with trying to get some cooperation all at the same time with two boys and a husband.
The colors are awesome! I want my family to look like a bag of skittles. Beautiful family portrait, you have inspired me to give it a go this weekend. :)

Who would even see the BG with all those big happy smiles in front? Great shot Heather!

I hear ya on the lack of cooperation
That first shot is awesome and the colors could not be more perfect! That second one is so my family!
Cari
Actually, I was so busy looking at the binky hanging out of your DH's mouth that I never noticed the remote!
This is a GREAT family picture. I love Nate's little smile, and A is his usual lit-up self.
Oh the first thing I thought of when seeing your blog, was WOW that is a great banner. Then I scrolled to see it was you POTD. It is GREAT! Your family and friend are going to love it in a New years card. I like that idea. How fun to get just one more card for the year
These are so darling. I love the first picture. Wow..you have the cutest family EVER.
Fantastic family photo, what in the world did you do to make Andrew smile so big? He is adorable!!! I agree with everyone else, the colors are fantastic!
love, love, love that first picture! yes you are all so bright and colorful and it really works for you guys! the second one really cracked me up. that's how most of our pictures look.
Heather-- Adorable pictures! I really need to get a remote!
Beautiful picture, Heather! I have been very successful with the tripod/timer method so far. Thanks also for comments on my blog on gymnastics shots - went to do some more reading to better understand your suggestions. Thanks again for being so inspirational!
your pics are really nice, it looks really cold there!
Great photos, even the one with nobody cooperating...still gives you a smile for that day.
OMG that is an awesome photo!!! I'm going to focus on this too. I'm rarely in any photos at all. You are such an inspiration!
Great family photo... I love how its not your normal everyone matching photo.
Absolutely fabulous family photo!! The color is so bright and just perfect here!!
I always look forward to coming to your blog.and this post was another great one. I too sent out New years cards just today in fact!
Heather, I bet my comment get lost in the shuffle there are soooo many of them, but; I just had to comment on what a simply WONDERFUL family picture this is. All of you look 'beautiful'!! Your two fella's are just too cute, and that smile on little Nate is so precious!! I also like your DH with the 'passie' in his mouth! Shows what a devoted Dad he is!! And the remote showing in that one just doesn't look bad at all, I don't think!!
oooh...good call. He gets Nick Lachey A LOT!
How cute!! Great family shot! !
Oh, I love that family photo!! SO cute- I hope you're having it printed!! Your family is so adorable.
Great pics... you have a beautiful family!
Good idea for a NY card. I encourage you to take pics of yourself w/the family. I only have a couple shots w/ my first born and my first pic w/DD was when she was 3. Sad huh.
Great family picture! I love it! Great colors!
Love love love that you used this as your header! (Thanks for the outtake....I needed the giggle of your hubby holding the pacifier in his mouth while trying to mind the baby! :)
Awww ... great job getting yourself in front of the camera. Love the colors and your darling family.
those are some great shots..i tried this once with the remote..didn't turn out too well. i always look forward to seeing your pictures..you take some pretty stunning photos. thanks for your comment.
You did a great job with the remote, framing it in advance! And I like the storytelling nature of the photos together. . . especially the way it seems to fall apart by the last photo! Very cute!
Love those smiles!
I'd be happy if there were no more than a handful of pictures of me anywhere, ever!
Gotta get me one of those remotes...
You can just feel the fun oozing out of that one. Your oldest son's laugh is just adorable. Great picture. Good for you for getting in those pictures! Thanks for showing us the outtake too.
These cracked me up! The outtakes are always the best.... what a good looking family you got there!
What a beautiful family picture! I really need a remote. LOL
LOL! That second picture is so funny! Love love love the fist one!
What a great family picture! But on the other hand, I really love that second shot too... lol
Very nice family photo, Heather! I think your idea of New Year's cards is super. I've gotten a few Valentine ones over the years from people who didn't do Christmas cards, and they were a nice treat.
Love that you posted your outake, too.
Heather, I love that you are so grounded. I like the idea of a new year's card. Your family picture is great!
And I think getting into more pictures is a great goal!
Yes, you should make a point of being in more photos, I wish I would have done this more when my boys were little. Nice picture of the family with such happy smiles! Very colorful. Love the pacifier in hubby's mouth and the remote in the out take-too funny!
What an awesome shot! Your outtake is too funny!
I love it! Everyone looks SO happy!
Love it!!
Very nice.
