Ben thought of a way to get the task completed that would be the least painful for him--and it was kind of like "killing two birds with one stone". He suggested we get the photo taken right before his patriarchal blessing and that way he'd already be dressed up in his suit and wouldn't have to get all decked out in his suit another day just for a picture taking session.
I got my own wheels turning in my brain and decided that since we were doing these things in Provo, we might as well include Brooke in the photo session. It seems that despite numerous requests for her parents to provide me with a more updated photo of Brooke to replace the 3-month-old one I have on display, they have failed me miserably and so it was time to take things into my own hands.
I scheduled Brooke to join Benjamin at the photography studio. But first, there was work to be done!! Brooke needed a make-over. It started with getting her hair done.
Brooke was happy for a while with her cheese pieces and water to drink, but soon Rebecca had to add hair clips and a squirt bottle to the tray to keep her entertained during the process.

And just when her hair was all finished and she was looking adorable with her new do, her fingernails screamed for some attention.
Dallas took matters into his own hands while Rebecca went to change into a dress. Brooke was cooperative for the first half of her manicure.
But then the computer had to be brought out for her to watch to keep her occupied while Dallas finished up painting the fingernails on her other hand. Brooke was so excited when Ben arrived so she could show him what she was watching.
We posed for a picture before heading out the door for the real picture-taking experience.
Our appointment was at the Target Photography Studio and Glen immediately got busy entertaining himself while I embarassed Benjamin by taking his picture while we were waiting.
Dallas was such a good sport to entertain Brooke by pushing her around in a cart while we were waiting to be called in and after when we were viewing the photographs and deciding which ones to order.
Dallas then took Brooke home to put her to bed while Glen, Rebecca and I went with Benjamin to get his patriarchal blessing. It was another sweet experience, just like it has been with all the other children. We topped off the evening with a late dinner at Brick Oven.
