family pictures?

getting a photo of my children together is very hard.  its even harder when their dad is not there to make everyone laugh while i snap the picture.  we went to mt timpanogos on monday night to try to get some family shots.  jackson thought is was great fun, until he realized i would not let him go running down the steep incline and into the rushing river full of rocks.  so this is him telling me how happy he is about having to sit and take a picture.  needless to say, i was not successful in getting  good picture of all of them together. but we did get some other good shots and we had a good time and ice cream when we got home.
