After all this discussion I looked at the pics again. one of the problems is the flowers. flowers both absorb light and reflect light. IMO they are among the hardest objects to photograph because of this trait. Except under the most controlled conditions I have seen very few true representations a flower's true color(s) or grades of color they are seldom one color.
I would suggest that instead of worrying about the color of the setting make sure you have the color of the person correct and then work backwards to get the color of the setting.

I agree. I would push to at least 800 and then try to use at least an f5.6 at at least 125 if possible. A long lens at f2.8 will be very difficult to hand hold and maintain focus at 1/30 of a sec.

Hi guys, I'm not using a long lense (it's a 17-55, f2.8) and I wasn't planning on hand-holding my camera. I was going to setup my tripod and have the kids stand in front of the flowers. I didn't want ISO too high since they will want ot print these photos up to 8x10 and I didn't want alot of noise.

Well..that sheds a lot of light on things :)
Then your settings will work fine.

Sorry about that... I guess that would have been an important factor to mention :)

This isn't exactly the answer to the question, but I thought it might help http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/atips/use-predefined-modes/ as it explains how and when to use your camera light modes.
