Before I start this post, I have to say, WOW! Yesterday's post really brought you out of the woodwork! I am thrilled and overjoyed. And I am a really mad because the cheapest box of chocolates at that dang fancy store costs $25, so I can only send one 1st prize . . . but I am going to send a smaller 2nd and 3rd place prize and 2 "Honorable Mention" Prizes. So check back in a week to see if you won, and see WHAT you can expect in the mail (or on your doorstep, if you're local!!) And I've already thought up another great prize for another great contest for next month . . .
These are my 5 favorite family pictures . . . I ordered copies of each because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. As you can tell, Ben's participation varies, so pay him no mind!
#1: Ben up High
#1: Ben up High
#2: Ben and Daddy Wrestle
#3: Ben on Tranquilizers
#4: Ben saying, "DU!"
#5: Ben looking in Daddy's ear
Which one do you like best? I'm getting ready to send out my Christmas Cards and will send you the one you request!
Oh, I like this one too, but I won't be sending it out, so you can enjoy it here. The extra in the shot is our babysitter, Hillary, that went with us on the trip! I'll title this one,
#6: Ben mad at everyone because he's not the center of attention!

My favorite is Ben and Daddy wrestle. She did such a good job with these pictures. You all look so beautiful! I also love the updated pictures. I'm glad to see another 4-year old not cooperating for pictures....you have several of grumpy Jameson.
Oohh, that's tough. I like #2 the most though - captures everyone's personality perfectly!
All of the pictures could work (you are an attractive bunch) but my favorite one is the last one with Ben adjusting Damian's tie. Everyone looks great. I actually think it is really cute how Ben is just playing with his dad in the picture.
There's my opinion, take it or leave it. Are you choosing one for the mantle?
Hi Sarah,
I missed yesterday comment contest...Dangit! Those chocolates look good! Well, I guess I'll take a photo as a consolation prize. #2 for sure!
My favorite is also #2, Ben wrestling with Daddy. (That's how Josh gets Rachel to smile for pictures sometimes!) Although it was almost a toss up between #2 and #5. Very cute pictures, even if Ben isn't looking at the camera. I love the pictures on your sidebar too. They are beautiful! They make your children look so grown up. I can't believe it! And you and Damian look so cute and happy! :)
I love the one with Ben and his Daddy wrestling. In our family picture Ashden is picking his nose! You can't get that many kids to look good at the same time!
If you're going to hang these on your wall I would say #3 and #6.
You should do a collage, and use ALL of them, along with your descriptive titles, but enlarge the wrestling one in the middle of the collage, because that one is the most REAL!!!
all very cute pictures! My favorite is "Ben on tranquilizers"- very funny names too:)
Sarah, My fave of those is #2, but I have to be the devils advocate and say that you didn't put my very favorite up--the one where all of you are smiling and looking. I emailed you the #'s yesterday I think. Why don't you like that one? But hey, you all look gorgeous in them. I'm jealous you got such a great fam picture. I think I'll invest in a photographer in about 6 months when Luci is sitting up and can semi-cooperate. Does that ever happen? love ya, Tiff

I like ben and daddy wrestling!!! I need your address so i can send you a christmas pic!!!
I like 2 & 3...wrestling and tranquilizers!
#3 in color (not black and white) is my favorite of these! and also #1. But there were a couple of others that you didn't put on your blog that I liked also. Another shot like #1 but with Ben looking. You don't need to send me all the ones I like because I have them all!!! Lucky me!!!
#5...I laughed so hard when I looked through all of them cause Ben is such a stinker!! But he's also so cute!! Your right though in a couple of years he'll actually look at the camera! They all turned out so cute though!!
I really like #2 the best, even though they all are great. But yes, #2 gets my vote!
Ben and Daddy wrestling! my fave for sure....and of course the funny faces...thats a great one!!!
I like #5. Tell your mom to get a blog so I can respond when she leaves me comments! Did you hear that Elaine?
Hee Hee. Looks like you've got lots of people commenting now (maybe I should try chocolate, too). Heck, I'm even commenting twice! I think that this photo shoot is representative of why it's so great to have more than one kid. Usually there is at least one that is cooperating, right? Also, I'm not sure I ever told you, but when I taught at BYU I taught a girl from Valdez who knew you. You were her babysitter. I think her name might have been Debbie? She was a freshman when I was 23, so that makes her about 23 now. Do you know who I'm talking about?
I like the one of Ben looking in Damian's ear. They are all so cute, I had a hard time choosing between that one and the wrestling one, but I thought I would be different, so "looking for earwax" for me!
I like #2. Looks like they are having fun! They are all great!
I love #2. All of them are amazing. You have a great photographer!
HI,Sister Sarah. Number #2 for sure
Christina already said it, but yes, #2 is the best of them, IMO :).
