The Never Ending Quest!

As I look through my pictures each week to pick ones to put in the blog, I realized that I take a lot of pictures of the two boys together trying to get that perfect photo of them.  One where they are both looking at the camera at the same time, looking like they like each other, hopefully smiling, no one blurry, one in which they both look cute (although I think they look cute all the time).  I have yet to achieve this magical photo.  I do have some good ones of the two boys, but not that PERFECT photo!  The quest will likely be a life long one. Even if I get said photo, there will always be another event or occassion and more photo opportunities to try to capture more than one perfect picture.  Despite the fact that I may not have the so called perfect picture, I have had lots of fun trying to get it.... whether they boys think it is fun is up for debate, but I have a good laugh when I look at my efforts!  Here are some of my more recent attempts!

Take One

(I don't even know what they were looking at in this one)

Take Two

(Wil making his scary face)

Take Three

(Wil is taking a picture of me with his camera, and Carson is quickly losing interest)

Take Four

(Where did Wil go???)

Take One

(I think my flash is too slow and they look away before it takes)

Take Two

(Oops, tipped over!)

Take Three

(Wil decided to tip over too)

Take Four

(This happens a lot.... Carson is so smitten with his big brother, he usually ends up looking at him instead)

Take One

(It was Carson's first time in the shopping cart and he was way too excited to look at mommy, and Wil noticed some toys)

Take Two

(Wil saying cheese, but still distracted by toys)

Take Three

(Well at least they are both looking at the camera!)

And finally, I think I will have a lot more of these in my future as the boys get older and Carson more mobile...

Take One

("No don't touch me Carsie")

Take Two

(Not bad, I think I need to invest in fancy backdrops though, the mess in the room and Jerry hanging out kind of take away from the quality of the picture... or maybe just clean my house a bit more!!)

Take Three

("Carsie is touching me!")

(Carson is just trying to love his big brother)

Take Four

(Carson so excited that he got Wil, Wil so not excited that carson is grabbing him!)

Take Five

(Not the first or the last "tackle" we will see!)

I have faith that one day I will get the photo that will be so good I can blow it up and frame it, until then, I will just keep enjoying the quest and the fact that digital cameras exist so I can take as many photos as I do!
