Warning: A photo heavy post!

In honor of Mother's Day tomorrow, I am posting a bunch of my favorite reasons to be a mom. ;) We had a fun day at our friend's house the other day, and now the kids are begging for a cart pony. I already vetoed the snake, but could be very convinced of the pony. I have it on great authority that if the children are all outside with the pony, the house stays clean. It's worth the try!

And now, at the risk of bogging down your computers, but because I have so many beautiful photos of my children taken while they and friends were playing with cameras, some of my other favorites from the last couple weeks:

These all show Emma so very well... her personality is wonderful!

    Wonderful photos! I can't believe Angela is 16. I still remember strolling Okinawa castle with them as little ones.

    Oh I LOVE seeing the pictures of your kids. My favorite is the one with the two boys and the dog walking down the dirt road.

    My kids want a cart pony too. Let us know what you find out about that! Lisa~

    I hope you do not mind if I attempt an oil painting of some of your pictures. They are so great. Cheryl Williams

    I especially like those last four shots (especially the very last one). Her expressions are priceless. Sometimes the "outtakes" are the very best, don't you think?
