Happy Mother's Day

Yesterday I celebrated my NINTH Mother's Day holiday. Nine (well almost... Kaylee will be 9 in August) of the best years of my life. I can't believe it has been this long and been so short and sweet. It has flown by!

***Not a joke... as I am typing "Oh I love being a Mom- it is the best..." Kaden comes up to me with brown fingers.... I thought it was chocolate.... it wasn't.... I had to pause the blogging to gag and put a gross 3 year old- whom I am certain will NEVER potty train- in the bath tub... oh yes.... I LOVE being a momma!!!!***

We went to church and ran super late as usual. (I won't say who was to blame but the kids and I were dressed and ready to go with 10 minutes to spare.... someone else took up the rest of the time plus 5 minutes... I will let you do the math) We didn't get to do the gift thing before church- so we did it after church with everybody watching me... I am not fond of showing any emotions ESPECIALLY when I am being watched... but anyway... Kaylee, along with her entire 3rd grade class, made me a recipe book. I loved it! It has her class picture on the front and she wrote me a little note to go along with it... soooo sweet! She also put some beads and a pendant together on a silver chain (all from my jewelry box) and gave it to me.... gotta love her! Kyle made me a pinwheel and a flower ink pen. I have the flower pen Kaylee made me in 1st grade so it will be added to the collection. Handmade gifts are truly my favorite....

JD got my the canvas I wanted ( the convenience of living with my MIL... I told her and she made him go buy it :) I can't wait to find a place for it in my new home... you know.... when I ever get moved in... but we are not going there right now....
I got another gift too... I will explain it in a minute....

  Ah Ha.... some how I finally got the post to go ABOVE the pictures instead of having to add paragraphs of captions to the pics because I am too stupid to figure out this new blogger layout. I don't like it but I am left not choice but to deal with it!




Count your blessings.... even when they have poop on their hands.... :)

This is the gift I was talking about. Marquetta found it for me and it is the perfect poem for my life... and any Momma whom has little kids. I almost cried... but like I said... I was being watched... so I held it together.... plus someone started the blessing and I got to gather myself for a moment....
