family picture day

manning was the first one up and he was lounging on the ridiculously large teddy bear they have (or ford's near constant wrestling companion) but sat up as soon as i got my camera.

after breakfast we got ready for pictures.  we had a photographer come by around 9am to photograph our large crew.  grandma and big pop thought patriotic colors were in order for our 4th of july visit.

madelyn was really disappointed to have to wear a matching headband.

miraculously everyone looked when we took the group picture.  madelyn and brayden were having the hardest time looking pleased to be there.
and headshots were taken of all 10 grandkids individually which is going to save me a trip to get birthday pictures!  there was just no way i could squeeze them in before we left and now i don't have to worry about it - although i might take just manning in to try and get some smiling ones.  manning was very ready for a nap which is why his thumb is in his mouth in every picture.


me and my 'little' brothers
it is always hot for pictures in florida but going early worked out fairly well.  at least we have proof we were all there.  love.

Fantastic group shots - and I think all four if the kids look awesome. Manning is adorable. And if the pics are all on display somewhere ( wall at home ) you'll be happy the all look similar/consistent. :)
