Some family photos work out, some don't

My brother-in-law was getting married, so we took a trip to Utah so we could share the wonderful experience. Since all nine of Theron's siblings and their families would be there, it was the ideal time for a huge family photo. It's so hard to get all the family smiling at the same time! But I thought this one turned out pretty good.
Until we got to our family. We just wanted a nice family photo--since all the kids were cleaned up and color coordinated.

My 7 yr old didn't want to participate, so he tried hiding behind me.

When we tried again we lost the baby (he's so cute when he's screaming) and my 9 yr old was hiding this time. Some days, you just can't win. The professional photographer took some pics that I'm hoping turned out. If so....you'll know about it because that'll be our next lavender family photo!
