embrace the camera

My friend Kristin has been doing embrace the camera thursdays for a few weeks now.

I have been saying that I would join in, and now I finally am.

Want to read all about the idea? Click here to read emily's blog, but here is a little excerpt:

do you have pictures of yourself, with your little people?
in this day and age of the "momarazzi", many of us are always behind the lens...rather in front of it.
some of you feel much more comfy behind the lens, and i get that.
look, you think i want pictures of myself in the same velour jogging suit for the 3rd day in a row {i slept in that jogging suit each night too---i know, gross, right?}
well, i don't really want those pictures...but my kids do---or, at least they will one day.
sadly, i don't have a lot of pictures with me and my mom from when i was younger.
i am off to change this for my kids.
i want them to have an abundance of pictures...to remind them of these days that we spent at home together.
the days may seem to drag...but honestly, the years fly.

Mason couldn't be bothered to stop and take a picture today, he was too busy reading his animal book and talking about Shamu. So here is a pic of me and Sawyer.
