Time with our Mothers

After church we went to lunch with my mom at the Brentwood Country Club. I think half of Brentwood was there with us...much more crowded than usual. Here I am with my sweet kiddos My mom is so stinking cute!!! I love her so much and I'm so thankful they have moved here to be closer to their grandkids. I know they were the main draw, but I get the benefits too:)
We met Nana, Papa and Uncle Jeremy for dinner before heading to evening services at their church. (they were honoring the graduates and Uncle Jeremy was included even though we have to wait til August to officially declare him graduated) The original plan was to meet at the park, but it was soooooo cold yesterday. I mean we thought about getting our winter coats out kinda cold. The wind was crazy and it did not feel like a day in May! You can see the pretty flowers we bought Nana on the table
This is what we listened to the entire way to meet Nana...I do mean the entire 45 min drive!! Baby girl was not happy and she let us know it
As soon as we arrived and got her out of her car seat she was fine...which we find a little frustrating. This girl can throw a fit!!!

Mother's Day

Nana, Me, Baylor, Christian and Spider-man
Giving Nana her picture books
See my funny pig tales? Mommy has to try hard to get them in, but they are so cute!!
Our master cook didn't want his picture taken (this is my parents kitchen--isn't it beautiful?)Our girl has really taken off. She hardly crawls at all these days. Look out world here comes Baylor

My day didn't start off the best. The night before we went to dinner at Red Lobster and I got my very favorite...Crab legs!! They were so yummy--going down that is. Between the hours of 9:30pm and 1:30am they decided to come back up. I have not been that violently ill in a LOOONNNGG time and I hope to not be again anytime in the near future. Needless to say I spent the first half of my day in bed recovering. Christian and Baylor went on to church with Daddy. Nana, Papa, Uncle Jeremy and Mim were there too. (KayKay and Tex stayed home b/c she wasn't feeling all that great either) Jeff brought chicken home for everybody and we had a quite little Mother's Day lunch (I had soup). Jeff's parents got me a pretty trivet that had iris' on it and a pretty saying about daughter-in-laws...very sweet. Then it was back to bed for me. I felt even better after that nap and we went out to my mom's to celebrate. Jeff had a big brunch planned that he had to cook for dinner instead!! It was great: hashbrown casserole and stuffed french toast YUMMY! or should I say Yum-O like Rachel Ray which is where Jeff got his recipe.

I must admit I already knew what I was getting from Jeff and the kids...it's hard to keep a secret when a four year old is involved. Jeff (and others) may accuse me of trying to get it out of him, but I honestly wanted to be surprised. Anyway...They got me a beautiful plate that has their handprints on it. It's too precious and I will love it always. And Christian (with some help) also got me a replacement Willow Tree Angel that he had broken--Thank you sweet boy (and those that helped). At school they made cards for their mommy with a picture they drew and then the teachers wrote stuff they said about us--very funny. Inside the card was a picture that had been taken at the Spring Program--it had a poem beside it about growing up that made me cry, but was so sweet. I will trasure that picture for many years to come b/c he just looks so sweet in it!!

So even though it may not have started out in the best way I had a very restful Mother's day:) Thank you to my sweet husband who made that possible for me...You're the best!!!
