Konker!!

So we decided (Okay, it was really just me!) that we needed some new nice pictures of my boys. The ones we have hanging in our house are almost a year old. So on Sunday, I got the boys to get on some cute clothes, and we headed out to find a nice place to take some pictures. We ended up at the same place we used to take our large "extended" family photos just the week before. I got a few pretty good shots. (One out of every 40 was decent, but this was fairly good realizing that I was working with not just one wiggly boy, but two. And I know that I could photoshop two of them together if they weren't both smiling. But I took a class once from Brian Niven - an amazing Photoshop genius - and he said that it's best to do just about everything you can to get a great picture, and not have to photoshop more then necessary. Of course if it just doesn't turn out, you have photoshop as a back up.) So taking this to heart, I tried to get them both smiling, and both looking at the camera at the same time, almost an impossibility. But we got a few that I'm happy with.

Well, you know, you have to try and get creative. And well, I wasn't feeling very creative, so I stole an idea I'd seen someone else do! Anyway, while I was doing that with Riley (Phil was holding my reflector for me) Wes took off to play on the stairs, and pretty soon we heard a scream for bloody murder! So we didn't get any other "nice" pictures for the day. Because of this "konker" as the boys like to call it:

And because Riley was trying to make Wes feel better, I got a picture of him doing this:
