Family photo session

This afternoon, we did some family photos for Mandy and Edward, and let Gabi ride Fonzie.
I need help choosing which of the serious pics is the best one, so send your votes in. I am not sure exactly what is going to happen with them, but whatever it is, I want to use the best one.
This really might have been the funniest thing I have done in a long time. Gabi loves animals and she really wanted Fonzie to GO! She would giddyup him, then grab the saddle strings and whack at him the best she could, grab the horn and rock back and forth like she was making him go--she was serious about it.
Several attempts to make her be done riding were failures--she would push Edward away when he tried to take her off. She was not done yet.
Here is an example of that--she wanted Mandy to go away so she could ride him for real. Absolutely hysterical.

She had a great time, she would get so tickled, and make funny faces.

This is one of my favorites.
Look how happy she is
This is a good one too--look at that face.
This time the pig wanted to be her friend, instead of being scared of her like he was last time. She was not as interested in him as usual though.

Her hat is eating her head here--this is her new coat that is pretty stiff and she is not used to it yet, so she does not move so good in it. Her arms stick straight out.

What's wrong with them being ALL THE FAVORITES

unless you decide to do something SPECIAL with one----then I would choose a family one.

Like enlarge for a frame in their home and your home and of course Grandma's home

or how about one of those slide thingees'

Happy Black Friday to you and yours
Enjoy Carol

Hmmm...it really is a tough choice to figure out which photo to use. You have several fantastic ones. Perhaps a selection of two or three might work best? I am a big fan of your favorite shot of your husband and your daughter. Absolutely adorable! However, the shots of Gabi and the pigs are laugh out loud funny. You have a difficult choice on your hands. :)

I found your blog on the Blog Stalker. What fun! I thought I would pass along my appreciation of your site and your talent for blogging via a tag. Details are on my site, if you are interested.

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend!

Wow, she is so cute. Is it possible she looks more like your sister than in earlier pictures? Is that an inappropriate comment? Their smiles, I swear, are similar.

In other news, could you have least trimmed that pony yak's beard? :)

These are wonderful pictures. They'll be cherished for a long time.

The pictures could be used again one day as she enters some Summer Olympics Equestrian thingie :)

Oh, how adorable! I love all of the pictures, especially the fuzzy pony (umm...a Shetland, right?).

No question... the BEST photo is baby pushing mom away - good tight, focused shot including all faces (pony too) and loving parental smiles. It's a winner.

Robin said...

Great pictures! Can you come to SC and get Ella to smile like that?

I am bad at keeping up, I'm always days and days behind. That is why I am posting here so long after it was started.

But, I love the picture with the parents standing behind Fonzie and her happily sitting on top.

Now, the Pig shot; Forget looking at Gabi's face, look at the pigs! Priceless!!!
