Wayne and Jill Salmond

Well, it was that time of the year again to take pictures of the grand kids for grandma Salmond. So the family got together not only for that picture but for a Salmond family picture and I wanted to take some of our family, because we haven't had a good family picture since Tanner had been born. We had Tom and Julie's kids in red, my kids in white and Steve and Cassidy's kids in blue. We also told the rest of the family to dress nice and no t-shirts. It seems so organized! Right up until we started taking pictures. I had my kids in white t-shirts, what was I thinking, and we were at a park. I spent the first 30 minutes yelling at Liam and shad to not get their shirts dirty before the pictures. Then we put all of the kids together for the picture. Hahaha! That was the craziest 10 to 15 minutes we have had in awhile. Kids crying, running around. We kept trying to get them to sit, but most of them didn't want to. I tried singing, but the only ones that even cared were my Shad and Liam! Next, Julie and I started making high pitched screaming noises, which got the kids attention and they all looked at us, but they weren't smiling. So we cut our loses and decided we would pick from what we had. So, now that the kids are all riled up, lets take the big family picture (OK it sounded OK at the time). We got to the point that we just had grandma Salmond snapping picture and hoped for a good one. I think we will have to crop heads to get everyone looking at the camera. But, we accomplished grandma Salmond's Christmas present for another year. Thank Goodness!!
