ummm... I signed on here to add a button to my blog, and realized how long it has been since I have posted. WOW. Slacker, party of one.

How about a pic? Everyone is looking at the camera. Every one is smiling. What you don't see , is me on the other side of the camera, jumping up and down like I have ants in my pants while running around in circles, waving my arms around like I'm trying to put out a fire, yelling boogity boogity boo-boogity boogity boo, as the neighbors stare on in wonder, no doubt thinking to themselves.." I guess 7 finally put 'er over the edge."
Ha. Shows what they know. I was this cuckoo before kids. So there. Hmmpf. wait....?

32 heart smiles:

Funny thing is...my "net nanny" flags your site as a "chat site" shows what she knows!
Not much chatting going on lady.

The Gang's Momma! said...

What a happy surprise to see your blog pop up in my reader :) Glad to see you are all well, and that other momma's do crazy stuff for pics. I sang the Winnie the Pooh song in wierd voices and danced crazy behind The Boss when we did our Christmas pic. :) Still cracks my 14-year old up when we mention it.

Beth E. said...

I wish someone had gotten YOU on a video! LOL

Boogity boogity boo...gonna have to try that sometime. Think it will work on my college boys? ;o)

Michelle R Photography said...

Yeah, well you've got some pretty cool neighbors, so I think they understand. Great picture of your beautiful family!! You have to be creative to get a good shot of seven. :)

BTW, I hope I did you proud. I was your walking billboard over the weekend at Debbie's workshop. :)

Nicole A. said...

What a great picture! They are so cute, and you got them all to look and smile (no matter what you had to do! Try having your husband hold the dog on your head -- that's a classic in our house, and it works!)

Have a great holiday!

PS: There's definitely room in there for Samuel. ;)

All the best,
Nicole A. in (SUNNY!) OH

So glad to know I'm not the only one doing the boogidy dance. It never works this well for me though, I'm gonna need you to give me some boogidy dance pointers.

The Ferrill's said...

Oooohhhhh I love them all! And Samuel is going to just fit right in, Amie! That is one beautiful family...created by God!

Unknown said...

I can't stop laughing...probably because that's how our photo shoots go...hehehe...too cute.

Just look at those beauties...what precious, precious gifts!!

Beth said...

Great photo Amie! LOVE it! :)

Organized Chaos said...

Who cares what the neighbors say? If they don't know that what you call crazy is actually the biggest heart ever...one that overflows with love and joy for God and you family then they are crazy! Love seeing your beautiful family! Sending you huge hugs and LMAO at what was probably going on to make it all happen. Shelley

3 Peanuts said...
