Mother's Day at Nana and Papa's

I have had quite the Mother's Day this year! Lots of celebrating! We went to church on Mother's Day. The pastor had a wonderful sermon. He talked about how the family is where children learn about God and his truths. And how your home should be where they learn these things. You shouldn't rely on Sunday School and other people to do this. God has really been speaking to my heart on this subject lately. And it was so encouraging to hear. Being a mother is such an incredible honor. And more than anything, I want to teach my children God's truths so Gabe and Emma can grow to have a relationship with Him one day. When we picked up the kids from Sunday school, they had both made me something! Emma had made me a sweet card. And Gabe had this cute card shaped like a teacup with a poem on the front. Inside was a bag of tea. He was so incredible proud to give me this! He is just now getting to the age where he enjoys crafts. And he loves being able to have something for mommy like his sister!

After church, we headed over to Nana and Papa's house for lunch. We always have such a great time with them! Uncle Danny, Aunt Brandy, Uncle Stephen, Aunt Amy, Jackson, Luke, Drew and Peter were all there! The kids are always so excited to see each other!

Nana had the kids help plant flowers with her.


Emma is quite the gardener...

My sweet boy!


Emma has been deathly afraid of dogs lately. We have no idea why. She was very concerned about Rosco. I reminded her that Rosco used to let her ride on his back when she was little. And now they are best of friends again ;)


I love seeing Emma and Nana's relationship. She loves her Nana so much. Emma is cuddling with Nana while she crochets. Thank you Nana and Papa for a wonderful day! Happy Mother's Day Nana!!!

Our Little Family

We knew Mother's Day weekend would be very busy visiting all of our family. So, we decided to celebrate a little early. Jeff took me shopping a few days earlier for my Mother's Day present. I picked out two cute dresses. I am wearing one of them in this picture. I am going to save the other for our anniversary coming up next month! Jeff and the kids took me to Steak and Ale, one of my favorite restaurants. We had such a wonderful time! This is my 6th official mother's day. And every year I am so blessed by my husband and children. I have loved every minute of being a mother. It was a special night! Thank you Jeff, Emma and Gabe! I love you all!



I love this picture! That is Gabe's fake smile ;)

Let the Mother's Day Festivities Begin!

I had such a wonderful mother's day this year!!! It all started when Gabe and I picked up Emma from preschool on Thursday. She had made several gifts for me! And they were all so sweet! She was so excited to show me everything! Ms. Emma made my day :)

Here is her little handprint with a sweet poem.




Emma made a purse filled with flower seeds. And she gave me a beautiful begonia to plant in our flower bed!


Look at the cute ponies she drew on the purse!


Emma said she could pick a pink or red flower. And she knew mommy would love pink :)
