Kylee Ann Photography Mommy giveaway.

I never win anything.  It's a fact.  The only couple of things I've won was because I had enough friends to vote for me but I've never been a luck of the draw kind of girl.  A local photographer I really love was doing a mommy giveaway where the first round you had to get the most likes on a picture on instagram.  So I tried to recruit as many of my and Bryan's friends as I could and for someone who has 200 followers on insta I was happy to get 90 or so likes on my photo.  I was sad to see other girls who had one little baby and were at least 10 years younger then me getting 100 likes within minutes because they have thousands of followers.  I crossed my fingers she would take pity on me since I was having my 5th boy and let me into the next round.  Well she did one better.  She let ALL the moms who entered have a mini shoot with her one Saturday (and mini being 5 mins) and she would give all the photos to them to put on the web.  I forgot to order a couple before her deadline (seriously where is my brain lately??) but at least I have these.  Bryan took the boys up flying with a coworker of his that morning and they almost missed my time slot.  I never get pictures with my boys and I really do think it's important that moms hopping in font of the camera with their kids.  Trust me I HATE it right now.  I've gained so much freaking weight this pregnancy that I don't like to be seen with my fat face. I kind of want to forget it ever happened.  But how many times do I get another photographer to get some awesome pics of me with my boys for free??  I had to jump on it. And bribe my boys.  

 She told the boys to tickle each other.  You know Tyson get gets into that.  That's a harder one for older boys to do then girls and look cute while doing it. But honestly it's a more realistic picture of them. 

 "Everyone give mom a hug!"

 Note to self Heather- Let me hair not cover my face and it doesn't look so fat!!! Why do I have to gain pregnancy weight in my FACE of all places??

 Look at Tyson looking at the camera? This kid never does that! I need to hire a photographer to do my next family pictures for sure.  They listen so much better to someone else.  I love this one of him and I.  He climbed on my lab just like the little boys.  It's hard to see him getting so old.  He is going to be a 4th grader soon and that to me is where they are really turning into tweens and not little boys.  =(

Now stinker Blake was the ONLY kid what would not get on my lab.  He was too cool. He has been too cool to sit and hug his mom for awhile now.  But at least he let me get a picture with him which is hard to do.  And doesn't he look HANDSOME?!?

I'm seriously going to treasure these photos forever.  I just love them.
