Bluebonnets - Which Picture is Your Favorite?

Choose your favorite blue bonnet photo contest! 


Springtime in Texas means a time-honored tradition - family pictures in the bluebonnet fields. 
Bluebonnets are the Texas State flower and are the most vividly beautiful blue/violet color. 


This year I am having such a hard time deciding which group picture to hang on my wall.
I love, love, love this picture below, but I also adore the candid, out-take style below it - there's just something so endearing about the love in the laughter.



So, help me decide! 
Leave me a comment with which of the two family group photos you like best. 
I'll choose one person to receive a free pattern of choice.

    1. Holly - I agree...with 3 little boys, rarely is there a "picture perfect" moment, so I've come to appreciate the candid shots. Real life moments!

    2. And, Molly, that is a RARITY for sure! Getting all 5 to look at the camera at once is almost miraculous! ;)

  7. I like both of them and see why it is such a hard choice. I say the bottom, even though you are not all looking at the camera. It is real, and you all look so happy. I would get the other one in a smaller size and if you had a third you could have the big one in the center.

  11. I like either the first one or the third one. There's something about posed pictures that creeps me out just a little bit.

  12. Morning hun .... I honestly love the second picture, it shows the true love of your family! However for your blog I would say the first one is probably better as it shows you off a little more then the second. You truly have a beautiful family!!
