My Mother's Day...



Card Evan made in Sunday School this morning! I loved it!




My other cards and flowers from today!

Ok, so this was my day! Let me start by saying that I cleaned yesterday, so that I would not have to today!

Went out for donuts with the kids for breakfast, no clean up in kitchen!

Got donuts holes for Sunday School brunch. Forgot to bake coffee cake because I was cleaning yesterday! No cleanup once again!

Ate lunch at Freddy's. I wanted a different place, but the kids love this place, so good eaters! Once again no clean up!

Boys played the Wii this afternoon and Emma took a nap. I read a book and got a nap in!

John went and got me Chinese food for dinner! I make popcorn for the kids. Easy clean up!

Picked up movie "Planet 51" for the kids this evening, so I can blog!

Kids in bed! A movie for me "The Young Elizabeth" can't wait!

A great day! I love my family so much! God has blessed me with, I think, the BEST kids in the world!

Today also brings me to thoughts of my own Mom and John's Mom. We missed getting to see them today. I must say I had a hard time with missing this holiday more than I did the others this Spring. It was kind of weird! I was so thankful to hear that Jenn went out with Terry and Mary for lunch. And my brother Joe took my mom out to lunch, what a guy! Justine had prom last night, so she went out tonight with my mom for dessert! This was also a different holiday for them as well, they had several kids not in town to see them. Glad for the technology of the phone today, it was good to hear the voices of Grandma's today!

My sister Judy wrote a blog about my mom! simplyjudybligh.blogspot.com if you want to read it, almost made me cry!

Also, I keep thinking about how lucky we are to have two Grandma's back home who love our kids so much. Yes, we took the only Grand kids away for them a few months ago, but I must say, they have been so understanding about it. Since we have been gone we have gotten cards, packages, phone calls, skype phone calls and messages on facebook! In Feb. Terry and Mary came down to help unpack and watch the kids. That was nice! My mom has been a great support any time I just need to vent via the phone. It may drive her nuts, but I really appreciate all the time given just to listen to me babble!

Now it's on to getting ready for our trip back to Iowa in two weeks.

Happy Mother's Day!

And I am still learning how to post pic on here, sorry! Need John's help again!
