The "Yellow" Family Pictures

We had to take extended family pictures and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to snap of few of my family. My SIL, Shaylah brought her fancy camera and so kindly took some pictures.
 Dax was a bit of squirrel, but we managed to get a few in the wind all looking decent! 
 I like this one! 
 Isaac is perfect for every picture he takes. Always smiling. Always happy! 
My brother Cord always told me I took a lot of pictures of him because he could smile on demand when a camera was pulled out. Truth be told, Isaac is like me. He is a cheese ball and smiles for the camera. Ask my sister Liz, growing up (and still to this day) I tend to jump in all the pictures!
All these pictures of Isaac turned out so handsome. 

Dax was going for the angelic look. For the 3 seconds he held still Shay got some great pictures of him.

He wouldn't look at her, but these ones of him look so sweet. I love them. 
I am excited to add some yellow to my house and these pictures are perfect!  
Isaac was rewarded with rolling down the hill for a job well done! 

A week later I was wondering if I could get a few more pictures out of Dax, preferably with a big smile looking at the camera. I borrowed my friends nice camera and attempted to be a photographer. (Which you can tell by the pictures, I am not!) Dax was 19 months and I really wanted some pictures of him, so I tried anyways.

This picture I have 100 of. Why? See, Dax is like Brett. He can only deal with the camera for a second and then it turns into something annoying and he refuses to smile or look at the camera. 
I popped Isaac in the picture hoping to get a cute brother picture but again, Dax didn't care nor did he want to be bothered. 

My sweet friend Darci came out (since I was using the outside of her house as a backdrop) and she literally threw her 2 year old in Daxton's face. It made him giggle.
It was working, so we wore out Darci and she continued to throw her son at mine. Too bad I wasn't paying attention to shadows. But we got a small smile out of him. But that's all I was going to get, so I knew I had to give up.
 I did get this one of the boys together. I thought it was sweet.
And I got another cute one of Dax not looking.

So I'm guessing this will be life when taking pictures. If you didn't catch it, here's the re-cap:
 Isaac
And Daxy. 
Their personalities definitely shine through!
