you think it would be easy.

every summer since levi was born, i get a shot of both boys in our backyard. i've been doing it in front of the garden each year as it's kind of a cute backdrop. well, now that levi is crazy runs around non-stop, i haven't really had much time to look at take care of my garden. even if i did, the 90* temps and full sun have basically fried everything. so, it looks pretty narly. i can't wait until snow covers it up. no joke.

back to the picture. you think it would be easy, right? just ONE shot of the boys in ONE location. they don't have to get dressed up, just sit there and look in my general direction. hah. well, here's the results from our little backyard session last night. i BEGGED them to even get these.

levi looks cute enough, but tucker is giving me not one, but TWO stink eyes.

tucker looks great ... but now levi is zoned out on the burnt grass. damn.

after snapping back into reality, levi must think his ASSets need to also get into the picture. tucker is amused.

tried the ol' 'give your brother a hug' trick. not exactly what i was looking for.

this shot is fitting ... it is what they look like normally.

levi is back to zoning out. tucker is ... um ... well, i have no idea what he is doing. being a boy. making animal noises.

i think i'll frame this one. it shows tucker starting to get mad (probably at me for taking pictures) while levi watches him and soaks up EVERY. SINGLE. MINUTE. so that he can learn how to freak out properly. ah, the perfect shot.
