A horribly out of focus series of photos that I love so much

In my busy-ness, I nearly forgot to share these ones
and they just have to be shared, as out of focus as they are, because they'll help you understand why the three year old is so much more photographed then his siblings. 

And I think you should know that.  heh. 

I mean, if for no other reason than to know what I have to deal with here on a daily basis

To begin with, the little boys adore when their big brother walks through the door after school.  They tackle him, they climb all over him, they lock him in the bathroom and chase him around the circle and then land in a pile on the couch.  On this dark and dreary day - I thought I'd catch a picture.

The bottom two complied, and went on with what they were doing.  That top one?  He's a camera magnet.  He poses whenever it comes out.

Which is okay in some cases, but in others - I really would enjoy candids.  (This is where Allan has begun yelling help as the youngest has brought out the licking weapon)

And Brian is keeping that focus on the camera - and me?  I couldn't stop laughing, seriously, I was shaking with it. 

This is just so typical.  So our home.

And Brian, I said,  you know what?  I love you.

To which he answered - I love you too, mom - can I go play now??

That's funny! He is so good at posing and looking at the camera! I love the sibling love stuff, I love watching my own kids display it to each other!!! That's one of the things I relish about being a mom.

that is one pretty long licking instrument Mark has!
Great shots, even if they are blurry. They tell a story.

[tania]

oh my goodness. SO adorable. treasures indeed. (ps. love that you put it in that category.)

[Summer]

LOVE them. Remember these moments when Al is being a sulky teenager. He's really quite adorable with those littles.
And I can't WAIT to get photos like this with Caden and Paige eventually.

[Deb Wisker]

They are too cute!
And I'm sure Pa is now saying "Note, pack for 3 days the next time it seems like it may just be one day." LOL!

[elizabeth]

Oh, that is hilarious! I love how he is just focused on the camera, regardless of the mayhem below him, LOL.

[Becca]

too cute, too funny!

Maybe our hubbies passed eachother...My hubby is now headed back from Plainwell. Hopefully he didn't splatter him with roadspray..(he's driving a semi)

The boys? They are stinkin' cute. Your hubby? Bet he loves your comments. (I volunteered to give away my husbands left nut today, but that's another story). Out of focus? Ahhh, who cares. And thanks for answering. Maybe aol doesn't love you. Or maybe I goofed. cdscrappin@aol.com Or maybe Brian's alternate address, bcdahmen@hotmail.com Thanks Sharyn!

[Tonja Trump]

That is so awesome!! It's good that Al loves his baby brothers too, well enough to put up with LickerBaby anyway! (I'm in tears it's too funny!)

Love love this post. My M's like your Brian he always seemed to do that stop, look and pose when he was a toddler now that he's older not so much. Enjoy it while it lasts and I am sure your scrap pages and stories will reflect this time.
