2nd Annual...

Father's Day Photo Shoot!

"You've got 15 minutes", says He.

"I'll take what I can get", says She.

So off we went, to take our 2nd annual father's day pictures. Last year we took some across the street. I thought it would be a fun tradition each year, to take photos in the same vicinity.

I was not quite able to get the shots I wanted in just 15 minutes, but since it was HIS day, I wanted to honor HIS request. 15 minutes of photos. That's it.

I chose the following photos...

...because Calvin looks so gleeful with his stick,


because everyone is gazing adoringly at Twain,


because Finn is truly hugging John,


because John looks so excited with his bunch-o-boys.


because this is typical John, holding his babies,



because I like weeds,

& because who wouldn't want D-A-D shaped rice krispy treats?

Happy Father's Day to John, Dad and Ron!

I think you guys are swell.

You are the hardest working helpers I have ever encountered in my life. I love you all!

  1. Calvin does look QUITE gleeful with that stick!! :)

    What sweet pics of all of your boys...even if it was a timed event. Women work better under pressure anyways, right? ;-)

  2. awwww... I wanted to do a Father's Day shoot with my hubby and all his girls but we ended up being gone all day long so it didn't happen :(

    But yours turned out adorable, even with the 15 minute limit! (so funny that he gave you a time limit. hehe) I especially love the one where everyone is looking at Twain. It's so true that every pictures has something quite special and lovely about it!

  15. Look at your boys. SO precious.

    There is absolutely NO way my husband would allow a photo shoot on HIS day. So kudos to John for being a good sport. 15 minutes is way better than no minutes! :)
