"Birthday" pictures

I used to take the kids to have their pictures taken at Sears, right around their birthday. By the time that Benjamin rolled around, I was tired of Sears, and not all that thrilled with the pictures that I was getting. Last year, I decided to just take my own pictures. It worked well. Now, every April (which is right around everyone's birthday) I take the kids out in the backyard, and snap a few pictures. Here are a couple of my favorites.
