While we try to teach our children all about life,
our children teach us what life is ALL About.....

Proud Mother Moment

Haylee decided last August she wanted to be in dance.  We were a little skeptical about it at first being she was starting at a later age than the other dancers.  She was bound and determined to push herself and be a dancer.  & she sure proved Mom & Dad wrong.  She did an AWESOME job at her recital.  I am so proud of her.  I was a little hesitant right before her recital, she comes to me and says "Mom I think I may puke all over the stage."  Luckily, there was no puking or fainting.

With her dance teacher.



 Had to share this picture, it was a long day for the little ballerina, she was tuckered out!!
I am so proud of my little girl, I teared up on her last performance, she looked so cute and little performing on stage in front of everyone.  That's My Girl-LOVE YA!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

This morning I woke up to a table with cards, homemade cards, pictures, and lovely, yellow roses from my sweet kids and AWESOME husband.  We made it to church on time, with no fighting, everyone actually ate breakfast, and had a wonderful service.  We got home from church and I had a stats test to take (YUCK) so Bob took the kids to the pool, ( I know he's crazy), they stayed short of an hour because they froze their little behinds off!  But, thankfully for that quiet time I was able to study and complete my test and score and 80% YEA!! Which is AWESOME for that class (for me).  Then, Bob made my favorite meal, Chicken Flautas and he even got flour chips and CCQ from Carlos O'Kelleys.  I know I am soo LUCKY!!! I had to post a picture of all the cute cards and my pretty flowers.


Haylee made me a card that read " My Mom is speactacular than any other mom! Inside the card had a cute poem
M- Mom
O- Mom is better than others (she underlined others)
M- Makes hugs and kisses

than on a piece of paper she wrote "have a lucky day here is a lucky penny."  I thought that was soo sweet of her and I kept "My lucky penny!" & Yes Haylee I had a lucky day, because of you!!

Shae made his little tea pot card at school with a cute little poem that read:
I will try my best
in every way
To be extra sweet
on Mother's Day.
But if you become 
upset with me, 
please relax and
have a cup of tea!

Had to share my homemade cards I received that made my day so special! Hope everyone had a Wonderful Mother's Day and got to Relax and enjoy it with the one's they love!!

May Day Baskets

May is one of my favorite months of the year.  We made May day bouquets today.  They were very simple to make.  Had to find something simple and easy for children under the age of 4.  I printed off the templates from DLTK-kids and let the kids color them the way they wanted.  I bought the flowers from Walmart for only$1.  It took a total of 15 minutes to make.  The girls loved the flowers and thought they were pretty neat to make!!

"Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate."
