4th of July Weekend

We had a busy weekend.  We tiled the floors, had one of my best friends daughter's birthday party, swimming, and shot of fireworks.  I'm exhausted even thinking about it all. We had a great weekend spending it with close friends. This was our kids first year we really let them shoot off the big ones, they were ecstatic about it.  I was on pins and needles the whole time.  They enjoyed every bit of it and more.

 This picture cracks me up, Bob got 3 sparklers ready for the kids and none of them wanted them they wanted to do the big ones!

This is the first year in a long time we didn't make it back home for the 4th.  We missed our family back home but enjoyed our time together.

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!!
"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."
