I ususally don't have many and we ususally don't make a big deal of it around here, but my DH suggested we go out to dinner as a family tonight to beat the rush of tomorrow's festitivites, but I actually got all the kids to sit with me on the couch and take a picture after dinner! It's rough taking all 4 of them somewhere, but we didn't have too many meltdowns and the kids were super excited to get to go out to eat :) so share your pics here so we can see your special family :):hugs:

Great pics! Mother's Day will be low key here. I know the kids have things for me that they made at school, and DH probably picked up something small, too. We've been so busy lately that what I really want is a chance to sit and do some scrapping today, which works perfectly with DH's wish to stay home and watch sports. We were going to go out to dinner last night, but the kids were too tired after DS's baseball game to take them anyplace I'd want to go for Mother's Day. I don't know yet whether we'll try again tonight, but if not DH and I may order in.
 
i'm hoping they will take a photo with me today. my little guy woke up on the wrong side of the tent (they slept outside last night) and is in quite a mood. let's hope he gets over it by afternoon! :)
 
I got one of me & my girls on a walk yesterday...will have to try to get one with all 4 kids today :)

I so hate myself. Yesterday my son and I went together and picked up my MD present, a kindle fire, yeah, I am the luckiest of moms, and had dinner out. Did I remember to take a single photo? The answer is no. If I could figure out how to kick my own butt, I would.

On the bright side, you can still scrap the memory and use ANY kit you want because you don't have to match :)

Just do it :) I am the same way but decided that every now and then I need to be in "front" of the camera :) Set the timer and do it Brittney :)
 
I also am in most cases the photographer of my children, and we rarely photographed together...One of my favorite photos from today:

I agree with Angie, just do it. I absolutely do not like photos of myself, but lately I have been taking more and more of them. With each one, I am less stuck on what I am not and more happy that I am capturing who I am, flaws and all. (Thank you, Krystal. :) )

Also, portraits of you are a gift to your children. They will treasure them and only see the beauty of their mom no matter how bad you think you look. :)

here's my girls and I this morning after church. I set the camera on the patio table and used the remote...then discovered the lens flare on my face in every single picture!! Ugh!!

Because the memories are for everyone in my family...and my kids see me looking like this 24/7. Regardless of whether I like what I see (I usually don't) my kids and husband don't have a negative thought about it, since it's their reality that they love flaws and all.

ETA: I don't have any pictures from today yet. One of my boys woke up with a fever and so that's put quite a damper on my Mother's Day Birthday. :( But DH just baked a cake and went to the store to buy steaks...there is hope yet!

I won't have one of us all today, my Gracie is sick with some sort of tummy flu... Hopefully this week, we can make time for them, or at least something, I haven't taken any 'random daily' photos lately. :(
 
here's me and the boys. usually we take a slew on mother's day but today we were crazy busy with the garden and an outing. anyhow. dh does not know how to frame photos so there is not one that would fit in a standard 4x6 space! lol

Great photos, everyone! We didn't take any. My DH is wonderful at many things, but photography isn't one of them. Instead of forcing the kids to pose for photos that I probably wouldn't have liked, I'm going to save it for later in the summer and let my brother take some of the whole family next time we see him. I've taken a lot of photos of the kids lately, but we don't have any good ones with me and DH, too.
 
This is the first Mother's Day I've actually stopped and handed my DH the camera so I could get a pic with the kids. :wub: Love these little munchkins.

Mine was a busy day ... and for once ... a LOT of pictures ... hadn't had this many in years ... in fact ALL of the family forgot Mother's Day last year ...

Today ... we went to the AMC Fork & Screen ... had an early lunch and watched the Pirates Band of Misfits (so funny!) ... then came home and grabbed our dog Blizzard and went to the KC Disc Dogs Play Date ... Brian (bottom pics) finally was able to get Blizzard interested in the frisbee...took having some treats flying around to catch the dog's attention. LOL It was a GORGEOUS day outside. My oldest son, Scott, surprised me with a bouquet of Rainbow Roses ... I had never been given a bouquet of roses in different colors before...so pretty!

...and I'm getting to build a 3D printer as part of my present too ...

here are pics of my new puppy Maisie :wub: and my oldest son came home from college to see me and I got this pic of my boys with the puppy.

So this is what we did today...DH took this picture with my cell phone while DD and I rode the new X-Flight Roller Coaster at six flags. I'm on the bottom right but unfortunately DD is hid by the chair in front of us. We had a really good day.

It's obviously not a great photo but I'm really impressed that DH was able to get a shot with me in the frame.
 
I don't have any pictures of my boys, but here is my brand new great-nephew Kellen, who was born last night... my sister with him. She is SO excited to be a grammie for the first time!
