It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without my annual attempt at a keepsake photo, and I’m pleased to announce that this year’s results were as stunning as ever. So many treasured images to choose from, it’s nearly impossible to know which one I should have framed. Please, enjoy just a few of the 227 images we captured today, each and every one an invaluable memento of motherhood.
Riley: Uggh I just woke up someone give me a fucking cigarette oh god what happened last night
Dylan: IF I LOOK AT THE CAMERA IT WILL STEAL MY SOUL
Dylan: …
Riley: WASSUP LADDIEES
Dylan: ….
Riley: HOW YOU DOIN?
Dylan: …
Riley: AYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Dylan: I had a kitty once.
Dylan: …
Dylan: She’s dead now.
Riley: Ohmagah this is like sooooo lame.
Dylan: I … I can see air molecules.
Me: *Blink*
Riley: *Blink*
Dylan: Now. Now I strike.
Me: Nice.
Riley: What? I had beans earlier.
Dylan: Okay, so, that’s fucked up. The longer you look at Riley the more it looks like someone Photoshopped his head onto his body. Does anyone else see this? Hello?
Riley: Hey, no way, I actually look pretty good here.
Me: Yeah, I’m not that bad eith—
Dylan: HEE HAW! HEE HAW! HEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW!
I hope you and yours had an wonderful Mother’s Day. Despite—or maybe thanks in part to—the photographic evidence, mine was an absolute joy.

Stuff I Like:
Regina Spektor's "All the Rowboats".
She's almost unrecognizable in this video, but wow, what a song.
Smashbox brow tech.
Utterly foolproof eyebrow groomer/filler-inner.
Prada Amber.
My favorite perfume: sweet and exotic without being overpowering.
Blinc mascara.
I have tried all the mascaras and this is the very best one. Trust.
Well, at least your hair looks amazing… Happy Mother’s Day!
Effing hilarious. The pics and commentary are genius and just made my day. :)
awesome.
Ditto on the hair, and where’d you get that dress?
I hear Dylan hee-hawing like Sam Wainwright in It’s A Wonderful Life.
I can see air molecules. Awesome.
Grass looks great. My dog killed mine.
your boys are so expressive! i love it!!
btw…way cool…i opened up acidcow.com just now, and you and baby dylan are the first pic in the picdump today! i was like, i read her blog! lol
You look fabulous, don’t worry about the kids, it’s just more material to be able to torture them with later ;) (As a former athlete, I feel totally comfortable telling you you have rockin’ calf muscles!)
Ness is right – holy calf muscles! Nice! The photos are great, even better than perfectly posed smiles :)
I just laughed out loud at work at the last two! Hilarious.
Few things…
A. You have WAY more patience than I do!
B. Nice to know I’m not the only one whose son makes funny faces at picture time!
C. I laughed so hard I almost peed!!!
Those are great! And it’s cracking me up that Riley looks like Unknown Hinson in number 2. Good stuff.
This made me laugh out loud. Also, while I was busy reading and laughing out loud, my toddler ate about a quarter of a crayon wrapper. I win at motherhood.
LOL! Hilarious!!
~tears running down my cheeks~ Hysterical!! Happy Mother’s Day!
The scene is familiar. My boys are slightly older and now we only take one picture. Maybe at their weddings I’ll get a decent picture of us.
you are awesome. Thank you for the early morning giggles
Truly just laughed out loud alone in my living room. :) Love the captions. And you look STUNNING!
You look amazing, Linda! And I think I will be a little sad if they ever actually do cooperate. I love these photos every year!
check out those gams!
Well, YOU look fantastic! I can’t usually even get that far WITHOUT my baby in the picture! Happy Mother’s day!
I have to agree, you look great!
We bribe the boys with candy then the person taking the photos tells knock knock and fart jokes. I may be LAME but I look up new jokes ahead of time to get the boys to laugh.
Totally worth the lameness as this year they are actually both looking at the camera with semi-smiles on their faces!
Loving the blondy-blonde! You look lovely.
I laughed and laughed at this… thanks for making my day!
Who would even WANT regular photos when you could have these instead? Hilarious.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Your kids make the BEST faces!
I cannot stop laughing, Linda. Awesome.
Also? You are looking pretty hot, my friend.
Oh dear God I just laughed so hard at your photo captions that I CRIED. Lovely family, and thanks for sharing the fun!
OMG, I laughed so hard I scared my dogs!
YOU look great, and it was mothers day, so you were the one that counted!
Air molecules, bwahahahahaha!
Thanks, I just snorted tea through my nose because of the laughter!
You look great! I say who cares what the kids are doing as long as you look good.
OMG, how beautiful are YOU! You look spectacular, and really, isn’t that all that matters? ;-) Kidding, of course…mostly.
Also, that was HILARIOUS. You captioned those so well, it’s hard for me to choose which is my favorite.
I love them ALL! Shows their personalities!
1. Your hair looks fab.
2. You are so fucking funny.
In the second one, Dylan looks like Casper the friendly ghost. It’s like a screwed up angel/demon on your shoulders – Jack Nicholson eyebrows on one side, Casper on the other.
That’s the beauty of Photoshop. Pick the best elements and paste those bastards together!
:)
you crack me up, seriously. who knew picture taking could be so funny?!
Hilarious! You are looking stunning and the boys are displaying plenty of personality!
You look stunning, as always, and those kids are hilarious!
Oh my god, your captions are hilarious!
OMG, the hee haw killed me dead! Don’t you just love little boys??!!!
Hilarious. I’m with everyone else: who wants a “perfect” picture? These clearly tell the TRUTH.
Also, damn woman, those are some Triplets of Belleville calves! You are amazing.
My son is almost 2 and I didn’t take a pic yesterday because I didn’t want MY picture taken. You look lovely… Kudos!
it has officially been a year since I have been reading you – and you still make me smile – I love that you try every time and the wild ways of the kids as they try to out do you….
(as well as the sayings)
Linda is a milf: http://9gag.com/gag/117517/
Oh god, I love your Mother’s Day posts! I think it’d be awesome to have a photo of them, in sequence, down the hallway so that the evidence is handy when you need to blackmail your sons later!
You look beauty-full, Linda! And you will always be the most hilarious, witty woman on the planet!
Between the actual photos and the captions I am fucking DYING at my desk, doing that delightful laugh-cry-stifle thing. These are way more awesome than any “perfect” photo where everyone is looking in the same direction smiling.
OMG, that is so damn hilarious! I seriously have tears in my eyes, trying not to laugh at work. Totally awesome. Riley totally looks like Jack Nicholson in picture #2.
Flippin’ hilarious, thanks for sharing.
The important thing is that your hair looks great.
Hilarious! I laughed out loud yesterday and then the comment about Jack Nicolson and Casper had me falling out of my chair today!! It’s so true! Thanks Linda, for a window into your wonderfully beautiful wicked mind! Love it!!!!!
Still laughing!!
Well, YOU look FABULOUS! If I may, more post-Mother’s Day humor may be found at Old Mom, Young Child: http://omyc.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/what-kind-of-a-mama/
You are SO GORGEOUS! As are those boys, even with the hilarious faces.
I love that you pretty much remain in pose despite what those gorgeous boys of yours are up to. Until the last pic that is.
Gorgeous! All of you.
I literally starting crying laughing reading this at work. You’re a riot. A riot with rockin legs. Seriously. I think I’ll go do some calf exercises now.
I too love that you hardly move in every photo but the boys are just hysterical along with the commentary. Oh fun. I hope you had a lovely day!
I absolutely adore those boys of yours.
Great photos – loved every one of them as well as your commentary. Good stuff!
Thank you thank you thank you for the much needed laughs!
PS. You’re looking SMOKIN’!
If my daughter wasn’t sitting on my lap right now I would of fallen off from laughing so hard. Those pictures are memorable and so are the captions!!
So I waited for these pics to load for a while, thinking I;ll see Linda and her cute kids, etc…got some Diet Coke, came back and the pictures were all up and I just gasped! You look amazeballs! (as Perez Hilton would say). The new hair cut is so freaking doing it! You look fantastic. Also your anniversary post almost made me cry.
XOXO
I had to come back three times to finish this because it kept making laugh out loud and I had to quit. This was hilarious, and now I’m teary-eyed. Thanks, and happy Mother’s Day. :)
Best hairstyle I have EVER seen on you. Keep it!
Bwahahahahaaaaaaaa! *snort* LOVE!
I love how you are consistently posed and steady despite the boys’ antics.
Oh god, so funny I could die. Heeeee. So Funny. Really glad you had a happy day with your boys!
I totally didn’t notice the kids at first because you look amazing!
And then I noticed the boys…Hilarious!
I just had a coworker come into my office to see if I was OK in here…
I have tears from laughing so hard. Thanks for this Linda, what a riot! And yes I have to agree with everyone else, you look AWESOME!!!!!
I look forward to this post every year. It’s part of my personal mom’s day tradition. So, never stop!
The commentary had me laughing so hard I was crying. Thanks! I completely needed that.
That was totally fucking hillarious!!!!!
Thank you for making me laugh out loud….
LOL I know you struggle a lot with taking good pics with your boys, but I always think how very accurately your pictures capture motherhood with small boys. Makes me hope our second is a boy too. They make life…exciting.
Ok your boys are cray cray but you? Look gorgeous!
[...] Speaking of Linda, have you seen her Mother’s Day Photo post? I snorfled. Yes, that’s a [...]
I always love these.
You made me laugh out loud while my son is trying to fall asleep! The commentary was classic and so spot on. Riley’s head totally freaked me out when it looked photoshopped on. More!
Love the photos. You look like Torey Spelling.
I love viewing your annual Mother’s Day photo shoot. Thank God for Mother’s Day. These are cute, and laugh out loud hilarious, and I adore your dress! Happy (late) Mother’s Day.
The boys are adorably BOY-ISH and you look amazing. Love the hair and that dress!
