Half-Successful Photo Shoot

Last Thursday we took the kids to Sears for their birthday photos. Sienna was a piece of cake, smiling on cue... she was done in about 5 minutes.

Colby was a whole different story. He woke up from his nap right before, and was very hot and feverish. So he was miserable and uncooperative. At best we could get him to sit still on the rock he was supposed to be sitting on, and he would quietly murmur, "nope," every time we asked him to smile or say cheese. Mostly he just wanted to lay on Mom's shoulder. We decided to try again when we bring Ashley back for her 3 month shots. Of course, after we left the building, I told Colby to say, "cheese," and he gives me a big grin and a loud "cheese!". He was completely happy the rest of the night. Aarrgh! As it turns out he does have some weird sort of illness, with a come and go fever. He's pretty miserable at night and after his nap, but the rest of the day he's fine.
Ashley also woke up right before so she was hungry and also uncooperative. But after we finished and while we were looking at the pictures on their computer, I fed her, so we went back for another round and got some better shots.
For better or worse, here are all the pictures.

So cute!!! The picture of Colby cracks me up. He looks so big... and so grumpy! I think he and Tayson got the same outfit from grandparents Piggott for Christmas. Ashley is so darn cute.

The pictures are too cute! Sienna is very photogenic! Colby's are so cute, too, even though he's grumpy, he still looks sweet. Love the face shot of Ashley. Wait til you have to get all three of them together for one picture. It sure gets interesting!

Sometimes those pictures so their true personalities so they are the best ones to keep!

Ashley's cheeks make me want to munch on them! Definitely a Piggott-Shepherd.

I can't believe Colby is turning 2! It seems like I was just there visiting you after he was born. So cute!
