Colorado Reunion Vacation- Part III

 Picture Taking:  I have to be honest, I hate doing family pictures.  It is so hard to get all the kids behaving and looking at the camera that it just becomes so stressful for me that it hardly seems worth it.  However, I know that in the end, you have a family portrait that will be looked upon for many years and it really is worth it.  So, this was family picture day... Everyone wore their newly dyed shirts.

First a little Masey Mase:
 He is about as goofy as they come.... hey there good lookin'!

 The Weber crew:
 While waiting for other families, Uncle Steve was throwing his kids in the air.  Then my kids wanted to be thrown!  I was surprised he could throw Ellie...
 ... but really surprised when he threw up Owen!!
 Sure he didn't get much higher than what is pictured but Steve did it!  I mean, Owen is like 70 pounds, I am just glad Steve didn't throw out his back.
 Lindsay and Steve.

There was this little meadow by where we were waiting and I actually got some cute shots of the kids:


 Owen handing cousin Austin a flower.
 Owen hanging out... proof that he WAS in a decent mood before the big group shot!!  Right before the big group shot, Maggie stole a little rainbow pine cone from Owen.  This set him off.  He started wailing... right at the time the big group shot started.  So, the whole time we were taking the picture, he was screaming.  Ugh.   What can I say?  The boy is four and his sister took something from him-- this is expected but because I was also making him take a picture right after it was even worse!  A few minutes after, we took a walk and laid out on the grass looking for animals in the clouds and all was well again:).
This is a strange picture of Ellie but also a little cool.
