Family pictures will be something that I will forever cherish! There is something about everyone being dressed just a bit nicer than normal, an attempt to get everyone smiling, and everyone included that makes them special. We have gifted our parents family pictures for Christmas here and there which works out nicely for all of us. It was Grandma Carol and Grandpa Larry's turn and we rounded up the troops, offered lots of bribery, and turned out with some pretty memorable pictures.

Profession Pictures
"Man, your hands are full!" might be my favorite quote when people see us out and about. I know that people mean absolutely nothing mean when they say this. Every once in a while, I just want to laugh because someone is crying or we certainly look like a circus. But the truth is, while my hands are full, you can't believe how full my heart is.
Eeeek!!!
In November, we shared with our family and friends that we are SOOO excited (and maybe a little bit crazy) to be welcoming Baby Steege # 4 into our family in May!
We let Treyton call all of his grandparents, family, and closest friends and let them know!
We had some family pictures taken to help spread the news as well. Beth captured all of these pictures in less than 10 minutes, 20 feet from our garage, with the combine parked 6 rows over!
These were actually taken right before Treyton turned one but we used them for Christmas presents...and I am just super behind on updating my blog. I do, however, remember how much fun it was to wrangle 5 kids that were 3 and under for pictures. :-)
My parents came to help get 5 kiddos to smile for pictures and Treyton was in heaven that Papa was there.
Planning for profession pictures is just a little nerve-wracking for me. Partially because you pay money for just a couple of shots that you tend to use and partially because Treyton doesn't smile once that big black camera is out and he will, without a doubt, spit up all over himself.
His 6 month pictures also were a little challenging for me in the clothing front because I wasn't about to buy him new 6 month clothes to wear just for pictures. I had been successfully squeezing him into nice 3 month clothes for church but they were looking a little snug for pictures. I found some cute outfits at Crazy 8 but they're sizing just blows my mind a bit....6-12 months. There is a lot of growth that happens in that time frame. How do they possibly just make one size?! Nevertheless, I didn't leave myself enough time to do anything else so that is what I went with and it was just all too big on him.
I can't thank Beth enough for the shots she gets of him even though he refuses to smile and drenches himself in spit up EVERY. SINGLE. SHOOT!
Here they are! He turned 6 months old on February 10th, 2016!
Please check out how hard I was attempting to make him smile and the smirk I was getting in return!
