So Mom and I went to a local park (in 90+ degree heat) with my camera and tripod so that we could have some more recent pictures together. (Our last photo shoot was June 2007 - pics can be seen here (end of post) and here.) I was able to get a lot of great shots out of the day, and really, any number of photos could have been used for a really touching post about how much I adore and admire my mother - both as a woman and a parent.
But hell, I'm way too cheesed up and sentimental when it comes to my mom, so instead, I offer you some humor. Here is what I like to call:
The Many Faces of Mom
Contemplative Mom: "I think, therefore I am."
Bored Mom: "How long is she going to make me sit here?"
Stoned Mom: "Dood, let's get some Fritos!"
Fortune-Telling Mom: "I'm getting a vision..."
About-to-Sneeze Mom: "I can feel it coming!"
Math Mom: "And this one is isosceles!"
Vogue Mom: "Strike a pose."
Taste-Tester Mom: "Mmm, tastes great!"
Crazy Mom: "You hear the voices too, right?"
Musical Mom: "The HILLS are aliiiiiiive..."
Scared Mom: "Dear God, what is that THING?!"
Yoga Mom: "Ohm..."
Snobby Mom: "I look down my nose at you."
Cheerleading Mom: "Rah! Rah!"
Melodramatic Mom: "I want to be alone."
Disgusted Mom: "I think I smell a fart."
Celebrity Mom: "No more paparazzi pictures, please."So yeah, that's my mom for you. But before you go thinking I'm going to be completely irreverent through the whole post, here is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us together:
Happy birthday, Mom - I'll love you forever.

The "Snobby" one makes me hear "I fart in your general direction" in my head.
Moms are the best.
You mom has a wonderful sense of humor. Obviously, she passed her lovely gene on to you too.
Fun! And having a mom that would sit still for so many pictures. Pretty much the only photos of my mom involve her sticking her tongue out (and then she wonders why we use them). Yesterday was my parents' anniversary. And the anniversary of my nephew David coming home from the hospital (7 months in, now 3 years out). Good day!
What aw onderful way to say Happy Birthday to your mom! I think I like "Cheeleader Mom" the best! You two certainly look like each other....and it looks like you will age well by how pretty and young she looks....Happy Birthday Lara's Mom!
Those are great - Happy Birthday to her!
Happy Birthday Lara's Mom. Awesome Pictures Lara!
Looks like you're a very lucky kid - and she's a lucky Mom.
she is adorable
michelle - you know, it's funny. she sees pictures of herself and thinks she looks so old. i look and think, "i hope i age like that." :)
Nice work!
Damn, I was hoping I had (another) stalker.
So it is mere coincidence that we're both in Vegas this weekend, eh...? lol
What park did you go to?
Aw that's so sweet. And my mom would kill me if I did this! :)
You can tell your mom I said the years are being far kinder to her than they have been to me. She's a beautiful woman.
Your mom is so, so beautiful. :)
And so are you!
Happy birthday Mrs Lara.
Thats the kind of mom I hope I am...beautiful, fun and just enjoying life.
What an awesome post for your mom. You do know how much you are going to treasure these photos and moments forever, don't you?
She is beautiful. I adore her gorgeous hair.
That was just sweet.
Unbelievably sweet. My mom would NEVER let me take so many pictures of her. She'd just give me one look and hope I went away.
Quite the photo shoot - very nice. I especially love the captions.
I wish I could get my mom to do that! Lovely pic of the two of you!
What a sweet beautiful post and a wonderful tribute to your mom. I'm sure she is very proud of you. I loved your captions with the photos, they were hilarious. Happy Birthday to your mom.
You mom looks like she is loving the camera!
How FUN!!! Totally dig so many, but her cheerleading pose is one of my faves.
I am so loving this; what a wonderful tribute to an obviously awesome lady.
what a fun photo shoot!
He he what a funny post... and your mum is gorgeous :)
