Wiltshire family pictures

For M's birthday this year, Laura set up a photo session for us all to meet in Round Rock and take family pictures. This doesn't seem like a huge task, but when you consider that we live in Katy, Austin and Lorena and all have crazy schedules, it is. We all figured out that it had been since 2006 (right before Randy and I got engaged) since we had taken family pictures.

Laura picked a photographer, and we all found a weekend that we could do it. It was a lot of fun and turned out much better than most of us thought! The family now consists of 15 people...8 adults and 7 children. And, of course, Jacob was the most difficult and always had to be posed/placed last. He did much better than we thought he would!

Here are a few of the full group shots that we got (I didn't necessarily pick the best ones, but tried to pick ones that haven't already been shown on Facebook).









And, like all "normal" families, we had to take a silly picture. Not everyone participated in the silly, but Randy definitely did...(I think you are supposed to "pretend" to pick someone's nose. He wasn't pretending.)



We did lots of different groupings and some individuals of the kiddos.

Here is Carrie and her family...



And Laura with her family...



And us...



Here's M and Pa...



Randy with his sisters...



M and Pa with the grandkids...



The Wiltshire family...



We also lined the grandkids up, by age. This is where Jacob became difficult...but I love how he and Molly are both clapping!



And from the side. All of the adults are behind the photographer singing Happy Birthday...



And last, some of just me and Randy and some of Jacob by himself...


























This one cracks me up because I swear Jacob is thinking "Why is this woman following me with a camera?"



M also took Jacob on a little walk on the bridge. Brynna tried to convince me that Jacob tried to jump in the water. M assured me that wasn't true!



And, probably, my favorite picture of the 130 she sent us. This is M and Molly...




After pictures, we all went to eat at Chuys and had a great time. Thank you, Laura, for setting this up! I know coordinating all of our schedules was not easy.
