Favorite Foto Friday #39 - MOMMY & ME

In honor of Mothers Day this weekend, please post the pictures that mean the most to us as mothers... us and our children...

This has to be my favorite picture of my mommy moment... is is from our visit trip to meet Sophie in Guatemala. It is one of the first pictures of me with all THREE of my babies and also with my mother (aka Nana):


But, since you have gotten to know me so well and know that I cannot choose just one picture for FFF (which is what FFF started out to be, you know... your ONE favorite picture - leave it to me to break the rules), here are few more of me and my precious children.











I realize after searching for these pictures of me and my kiddos, that I am not in front of the camera lens very often (which I am sure most of us are guilty of)... I am going to make a more conscious effort to get more pictures of me WITH my children.

To participate in FFF, please post your picture(s) on your blog and leave a comment here and I will link you. You can post using the theme or just post your favorite photo. If your profile is private or your blog unlisted, please leave a link to your blog so I can find you. And as always... looking forward to seeing your FFF of the week! I just know that this week is going to be one of my favorites!

Next week's theme... FUN IN THE SUN!

Kim said...

Are you ready for this - I don't think I have any pictures of Alex and I. I do have some of the family - I HATE, HATE, HATE having my picture taken. Hate it with a passion!! But, I probably should have pictures taken of the two of us....{sigh}

Sarah, your family is too cute. Can you post some baby pictures of Grant? His bachelorette (the one who WILL receive the final rose, by the way) would love to see him as a baby.

You rock!

Love the Mommy pictures of you.

As you said, I am also guilty of being the one behind the camera.
But even worse, I realized I don't have any pictures of me and my mom, when I was a child. Kind of sad. I am going to make an effort, so my kids have pictures to look back on.
I am posted, by the way :)

Violet said...

Hi Sara!
This pictures of you and your kiddos are great! You have beautiful Children. I love picture and will probably NEVER be able to pick just one favorite. Ha ha. Well, I wrote my 1st FFF on may 3rd and saved it as a draft because I knew my Friday was going to be crazy. I did post it on Friday evenining (pacific time) but, since I wrote it on the 3rd, it posted it on the third before some of my other posts. It is their though.

Such fabulous photos!

Reba said...

I did start this ON Friday but just now finished it...I had a lot of photos to go through. Since I now know the theme for next week, maybe I can get a headstart. Or I may just have to wait until school is done. :) Anyway, I do have a Mommy/Me photo theme. :)
