I really wanted to post a picture of Abriella and I together as a part of my Mother's Day post but I really don't have any of the two of us. I know I love the pictures of my mom and I together and didn't want Abriella to have all these pictures of her and not have any of us together. So I have decided to make a conscious effort to take pictures of us together. I recently took some snapshots of us together and those are the ones that I truly want more, but I decided to do a few "posed" type shots and it's just as hard as it sounds :) Here are a few that I enjoyed...
I know what most of you are going to think about this one... but it's my favorite :)
Then Abriella decided Elmo needed in on the action...
and then she decided she didn't need me at all, and took control of the remote herself... *all taken by Abriella, edited by me
So I said that I'd be back with more pictures from the woods. And I am, but as promised she is contained. It was the only way I could get a little cooperation. But of course getting her to look my way and actually have a decent expression was still like pulling teeth. Here are a few that I did like despite all that...
and a little bit different...
I just thought this one was too cute, I asked her if she loved her toes :)
These were close to the "perfect" image I had in mind. Just need one with a cute smile or a "normal" look at me :) I'll get it one of these days.
I wanted to wish all the wonderful mothers out there a wonderfully Happy Mother's Day!! I now know how much you all deserve it :) I am surprised to say that this is my second Mother's Day; it doesn't seem like that much time has already past. But in spirit of the happy day I thought I would share some pictures that I took when my mom came to visit last week. We went to a butterfly exhibit and we both had a nice time attempting to get some pictures of the beautiful butterflies. Here are a few that I was able to capture. Hope you enjoy.
and of course, the whole reason for my wonderful Mother's Day...
I stumbled upon this and couldn't not share. I just made me grin from ear to ear, what a great start to the day :) Remember to turn off the music at the bottom if you watch it (which you really should).
And don't worry, I won't go a whole post without a few new pics of the Little Miss:
Here are a few from my latest attempt at a photo shoot. It started to rain almost as soon as we got to this spot (right down from the playground where I was going to let her play if she was good :) well she wasn't very good and it started to rain, so oh well). I only took 6 shots, which never happens, and thought that these two turned out ok. I plan to go back when it's nicer out and stick her in a basket, or suitcase, or flower pot :) so she can't run away!!
I really liked this one, even though she's not looking at me. She was doing the itsy-bitsy spider :)
She got mud on her hands :(
This was what she was doing most of the time, well usually running the opposite direction of me but still, not cooperating.
And I just had to share this one. Abriella and I were out doing some errands last weekend and we saw all these little goslings walking across the parking lot. I've never seen this many before. Aren't they cute!
