Mother's Day

THIS...

is what life is all about!

Being a mom has changed my life. Motherhood has given me a new sense of purpose; the happiness of unconditional love; the feelings of pride, complete joy, and closeness to my Heavenly Father. I love seeing my children smile, laugh, learn new skills and best of all I love giving them hugs and kisses. They are what it's all about... they are why I'm here.

Dancing...

Trey woke me up on Mother's Day with a card he made. At church I was overwhelmed with a feeling of love as I directed the primary children in 2 Mother's Day songs. Watching Trey sing caused SEVERAL tears as I was so proud of him and when he sang the words, I knew he loved his mommy. Later that day, Brent and Trey surprised me with a dozen roses and candy. We walked to the park that evening and spent time as a family. I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day!

At Trey's school, they had "Muffins with Moms" where they celebrated the kids' moms. These were Trey's responses to some questions about his mom:

They had made us cute flower pots with a picture of them sticking out of it and a few adorable pictures they colored.

I LOVE BEING A MOM!

Bloomin' Cactus

I have a potted cactus in the back yard and had no idea when it bloomed it did this...

The flower only lasted a day due to the wind so I was glad I shot a few pics of it.

Then a couple days later, the cactus surprised me with these...

Look Where I Fell Asleep...

My Favorite Food

NOODLES!!!

Trey's First T-ball Team

Trey LOVES t-ball! At his first practice, he told Brent, "My love this!" He hits the ball really well and enjoys scooping up the balls after they're hit and throwing them to 1st base. It is so fun to see your son play sports. Poor Trey, however, he has a LOUD cheerleader in the stands! But he'll have to deal with it, since I'll be screaming and encouraging him the rest of his life!

Go Greenjackets!

Trey's other biggest fan!

Coming Home...

Enjoying the Sun!

We have had some great weather - 80's & 90's!

The kids enjoy anything that keeps them cool!

The Hunt

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

Trey had so much fun trying to find where the Easter Bunny hid his Easter basket. (It was in his bathtub!) He also enjoyed finding everyone else's (one on top of the fridge, in the pantry and Andee's was hidden inside her excersaucer). The Easter bunny brought Trey his first Lego set, more hot wheels tracks and other fun toys. Andee received new books, puzzle and clothes.

Happy Easter!
