Mothers Day

My computer desktop has a picture of me and the boys last year on Mother's Day at church. It amazes me to think that last year I had no idea what this Mother's Day would be like. I had no idea that I would be a mom to three little boys! We stayed home from church together and it was nice to just relax...although I know we missed out on something great at church. Luke was just four weeks old, so he and I wouldn't be going anyway and it was nice to have Greg and the boys join us at home.

Here is a picture of just a few of my Mother's Day gifts. I wanted to take a picture in case over the years some of these great gifts get lost or ruined :) Max made this frame at school and they gave them to the moms at the Mother's Day tea. I also got a homemade bracelet (shown below), a tootsie pop flower and a flower picked from the backyard and put into a jar. Max, you made a comment that I wasn't as excited about your gift as I was with what Daddy gave me. So I made a point to put all of the gifts out on display in the kitchen, just to make sure you knew how special they were to me.

You also drew a family picture, and I had to pick out which family was ours at the Mother's Day tea. And, you filled out a fill in the blank chart about me and my favorites....all of the moms had to read the sheets and guess which one was theirs. Max, you knew everything about me (except my weight and height...apparently I weigh 6 pounds and am 5 inches!) You said I was 31 years old, that my favorite color is red, my hair is gold :), my eyes are green and my favorite food is popcorn (we have popcorn for snacktime a lot). Once I saw the sheet, I knew it was me. It made me feel good to know you knew the answers.... Here we are on Mother's Day and we snagged a quick picture! You can't see Luke very well, but the only other picture I got of us had Luke with crossed eyes!

Here is Max's class at the Mother's Day tea and they are singing songs to the mommies! Max is on the front row in the green shirt. The moms got to pick out their children's clothes that day, and Max was sure to let me do it. They had us wait in the hall and then our child escorted us into the room and to our chair. We were served snacks and all of our gifts. It was such a fun day....my how quickly you are growing up little man!

Well, I only have about 4 shirts that fit me, and I decided to wear my green one so we could match! Cheesy, I know....

Max, I love watching who you are becoming. You made me feel so special and loved. Thank you to all of my boys (including my sweet husband) for a great Mother's Day.

Greg got me a set of pedastals to go with my washer and dryer. I have been wanting them and he surprised me with them on Mother's Day. They even came in early so we got to go pick them up and he had them installed that night. I LOVE them!

Most of all, I love my sweet family.....
