Favorite Photo of 2010

Ya'll know I love to take pictures. And I take a lot of them. Once in a while I get one that makes my heart skip a beat. This one did it for me...

My husband and I have a tradition of spending the last day of summer (the day before the start of school) doing something together that is fun. This year, we went out with a bang and celebrated for two days--woo hoo!

These are our three cheeseball kiddos. Believe it or not, I didn't see this shot coming. Our daughter is a total poser and she called my name. I turned around, and snapped three shots in a row. (Set your DSLR cameras up to do this--especially if you have a family of blinkers like us!) This was the third shot. Makes me weak in the knees. Perfectly imperfect--half forced/half natural smiles. A wonderful way to end the summer up at the lake...

That ever happen to you? A killer picture without really trying? Like the stars fall into alignment and the clouds part and angels sing. Happiness!! Sometimes I try so hard, it doesn't work. Then lo and behold...whee!!

I've received a ton of email about the bulletin board and a final pic of it. You can check it out on our facebook page here. (And if you're not a fan, be sure to join us!) I hung it with paneling nails and it did the trick!

Enjoy your Wednesday, friends...

Gorgeous pic, Trish! These are such fun moments with the kids. I happened to get a similar shot tonight of my boys. My little 1 year old put his hand up on his brother's shoulder and said "cheese". Totally melted my heart :)
