I can't believe it!!!!

Last Saturday I happened to be "in town" near the Mesa temple and had the genius idea to take my 7 (soon to be 8 year old) there and take some pictures for his invitations.  What a fun day. It was hot. Real hot. And the poor little guy was sweating to death in that great looking suit. I felt like we got some really nice shots. There were 4 weddings outside at the time trying to take their pictures so the locations to choose from were slim. Apparently Saturday's are not good days to take pictures at the temple. Just saying.

I got home and was so excited to print them off and low and behold, almost every picture we had taken makes him look like he's in pain. This particular child is not a fan of the sun. He hates it in his eyes and then they water and he looks like he's crying. I tried to find as many shady spots as I could but like I said, locations were slim to none. I really wanted to get him by the awesome fountain that they used to have by the reflection pool by the visitor's center. Guess what? It's gone. There a historical log there now. I was a little disappointed.

So this is what we are left with. And I can honestly say I think he looks adorable. I love you dearly and am so proud of you and the great little man you are becoming. Happy 8th birthday!!!!
