Happy Mother's Day 08!


I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We have a tradition in my family where we eat breakfast at my grandmother's house every Sunday morning before church. So, on Mother's Day - it was no exception. We went and had a wonderful breakfast with the whole family. My brother's family and ours decided to take a picture of the grandkids for my mom and grandmas. They loved it! My mom even got all teary eyed looking at her precious grandkids who love her soo much. I have the best mom in the whole world and her grandchildren are learning everyday why she is so special. Mat gave me a wrist corsage that was so beautiful to wear to church that morning. He is so thoughtful. He said he got me wrist one so the baby wouldn't tear it off my dress. : ) That afternoon, we went and ate lunch with the family and then came home. Mat sent me off while he and Easton set up a surprise for me. He told me to change into my jammies and relax. So while I was changing and getting the baby to sleep, he and Easton set up the living room for a relaxing afternoon for me. They had towels and lotion for rubbing my feet, fuzzy sleepers, Dr. Pepper (of course), chocolate, candles, a rose, and a chick flick. : ) When I walked in, I saw Easton standing there on a stool in his jammies holding a towel. It was the most precious thing. Sometimes I forget how small he is because we have Lawson now, but he is still so tiny. On the chair were 3 cards - one from each of them. Inside each of the boys cards was an outline of their handprint. It was so sweet. Mat also gave me a gift certificate for a massage and facial. He knows how much I need a break, I guess. Easton and Mat took the lotion and rubbed my feet. I think Easton enjoyed that as much as I did. : ) Then Mat took the boys and let me have a few hours to myself watching a movie that I had been wanting to see.  It was very nice and relaxing. Thank you honey for making my mother's day so special. I love you and I love being Easton and Lawson's momma. Thank you Lord for giving me these wonderful gifts!!

I love that! What a good husband. Especially the
Dr Pepper part! MMM... nothing like a good DP! Thanks for your ? about healthy eating. My reasoning is health reasons, as well as helping the environment. Several people have asked me the same question, so I am going to do some blogs about it! Hope they help, but let me know if you have any more questions!
