Family Fun Time
Oh, yeah! We were seriously ambitious today. Most winter Saturdays are spent being LA-ZY! As much as I dislike the cold, I have to admit that I love being forced to stay inside. In my PJs. All day. Yep. I admit it. We like to stay in our PJs ALL day. Well, what I should say is that the girls & I like to stay in our PJs. Curt will only stay in his all day about 20% of the time that the rest of us stay in ours. Confused, yet?
Whatever. That's SO not the point of this blog. Oh, and, yeah... I live in Texas where the winter isn't really very cold. It's cold to me.
ANYway... today it was unseasonably warm. It surprised me, really, since we had a chance of ice yesterday. I asked the hubster what the temperature was outside (he'd been out jogging.) He says, "oh, it's hot. Like, 80 degrees hot." And, then remembering that he ALWAYS overshoots the temperature, he says, "Well... okay, maybe it's not that hot. It's probably about 75."
That's what he says. What I hear, however, is that it's about 65 degrees out. Even when he compensates for overshooting the temperature, you can count on subtracting at least ten degrees from whatever he tells you before you're even in the vicinity of right. This is also not the point of this post. I'm just amused with the whole thing, and I wonder to myself (and to you guys, now) when the man will figure it out & subtract the extra ten. You know? Because it was actually 63 out...
So, Spring-like temps motivate me to want to get outside & take some photos! Can you believe it!?! I'm actually WANTING to pick up my camera!?! We get the girls dressed & head out.
Curt took his camera, as well, so when we got to our location, we divided and conquered! Ha! Okay... if I'm being honest, we definitely did NOT conquer. I totally thought they'd be more cooperative if we split them up. What I forgot to factor into the equation was just how much disdain they have for taking photographs. So, after a few photos & much frustration, we decided we'd photograph each other.
I thought I'd share a couple of each of us. I made a storyboard for each of us, although I'm kinda bummed that you're not seeing each picture as big as normal. I don't much like change.

I hope the weather is warm more often - these are great! I love them all. It's a special treat to see photos of you and Curt. Thanks much for these! Love you!
By the way, it looks like you were dressed for a family photo. Did you get any?
You guys are all cute on:) Right??
Don't tease Curt, you said he had been jogging, it probably felt like 80. I always undershoot, I thought it was like 50 something yesterday even after looking at the thermometer.
Anyways, these are all very good. You always find good locations.
What a beautiful family you have Amy! Very lucky girl indeed. And he is a very lucky guy too ;0)
These pics are fabulous, Amy!!! I love that you got some of each of you.
:)
So fun!
I love the storyboards and how the color of them is the same as the background of your blog :)
You and Curt look great. I love your pants!
I like the girls' hairdos. It's so surprising to see them looking so different. Both of them have awesome "bangs". I see they get their beautiful hair from you. I love that your hair is getting longer..very pretty.
Wow--photos of you :) Looking all saucy with your camera! I love it! Good to see you are getting back into the mood. I love spending the day in my pj's, too...but then I end up sticking my kids in front of windows and trying to get them to behave...it never happens.
Where did you get Maya's boots? They are awesome! Keep posting!!!
love love love all of these, I absolutely adore your family and think you guys are all beautiful! I love the location too, awesome!
wonderful photos Amy, thanks for sharing! I like the divide and conquer theory even if it maybe didnt work as well as you may have wished!

I 'specially love the last two - your girls have the sweetest smiles!
Amy these are so good...kuddos to Curt as well :) It looks like you had a nice family outing in some nice weather (so jealous!) and got a new profile pic out of it too. I *heart* the photo of Emma on the right side of her story board...just the perfect expression from her and I love all the brown tones in the photo. Of course I'm drooling over all of the other photos as well. Glad you are feeling inspired and sharing your results on your blog. --Dawn
Those are great! You don't know me and I don't remember how I ran across your blog, but I love your work. I am an aspiring photographer myself and I just love your stuff!
