Pictureholic

My name is Shauna and I am a pictureholic. I think my kids dream the word "Cheese" or "Smile." To make matters worse Max has started to run from the camera these days. Poor him. Poor them. I just love pictures. More pictures. And even more pictures. I love pictures at every stage. I love pictures that capture moments. So I thought I would do a post on more pictures. We took a Field trip to a little aquarium. I didn't even know that an aquarium existed here in Utah let alone one just up the street. The kids had a blast. I am pretty sure that we saw the place at least three times. "I show you frogs!" "Where are the sharks!" "I touch sting rays!" "Can we see the octopus again?" There was so much excitement and running through out the aquarium. This is one of my favorite pictures. It makes my heart smile seeing all four of my little ones lined up loving nature. The little ones dominated the touch pond and the kids were there forever learning all about starfish, sea cucumbers, and crabs.

ALL ABOARD MATES! AARGH! A PIRATES LIFE FOR MAX! OR SHOULD I WRITE CAPTAIN JACK AT HIS FINEST. YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.

Even at the aquarium Max found something that had to do with a pirate. I managed to sneak up on all his fun and snap a shot. He is getting quite good a dodging the camera. I'll tell you one thing. If there is something I know about Max it is that he has little pirates running around in his head.

Big Smiles ~ Best friends

Love these two cheesy grins. Especially Barrett's nose crinkle. They were just having a ball with each other. I think that is the best part about being a twin. They are the best of buddies. They look for each other. They share each others excitement. I will be honest. They do find trouble pretty much everywhere they go. Some might say double trouble. But they share a lot of love with a lot of people. So I guess we will take the good with the bad and keep them around.

Doing everything Jacqualynn Grace style.

Jacqualynn Grace could stare at Jelly Fish all day. There was something about them that had her amused and mesmerized for what felt like my whole life. I personally could have taken a half dozen pictures of her playing with herself in the mirror, but she liked the jelly fish. I was looking for the perfect shot. With Jacq I have about 2 seconds (if that) to get that perfect shot and then I get what I get. She is either done with the camera or has moved on to the next interesting thing in her life.

Well, as you can see the aquarium was a super big hit for our family. The kids were thoroughly entertained and loving their life. I think I was able to sneak a hand hold with my Tim for a minute or two. I don't believe I would want to ask for anything more ~ Happy kids with their Happy Dad taking lots of Happy pictures. Sounds pretty Happy if you ask me.
