I have been a very lucky woman to be raised by such a strong woman. A woman who raised me to be a woman, a Mother, and wife. She showed me how to hold my head up and move on despite adversity and life altering pain. She taught me how to grieve and not allow that grief to drag you down but to help you be empathetic to other's pain. How to get your kids to do chores by offering tic tacks as incentives, and how to put the FEAR in them...lol She's a great Mother and I love her!
Thank you Mom!
Thank you Mom!I am also so very lucky to have a Mother in law who is more than a Mother in law, she's a great friend, and confidant, has loved my boy's as her own grand kids, and accepted me despite my faults. She raised amazing kids and I lucked out and got an amazing husband out of it! My amazing husband is all due to his parents so Thanks Mom #2.
Michael makes my day's so funny. He cracks me up! He has this smile that makes you grin, no matter what has happened that day. A twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes that can say "I love you" without a word. He is an amazing big brother!
My 4 son's. Cody, Michael, Matthew and Aidan. I am the luckiest Mother out there!
I love them!!
I have so many amazing reasons to be a happy Mommy!
This Mother's Day was wonderful despite the fact that Jon wanted the kids for the weekend and decided not to switch weekends with me so I could have them for Mother's Day. My boy's made sure I knew they loved me and were proud to have me as their Mother. I never knew how much I would love being a Mother when I was young. Had I known what this would feel like I never would have aspired to be anything but a Mother and to have 40 kids. Ok....*cough cough* not 40....4 is pretty awesome..lol These boy's are my life!

Look at the smile on that boy! Trying so hard to grow grow grow! What a brightness he brings to our lives! All of us trying to raise him (his big strong brother's included) to be a great man some day, just like all my boy's!!
My sweet hubby made reservations for us to take a boat ride around Toledo Bend and have a steak lunch out there, it was so nice.....the weather didn't really want to cooperate, it was ratha chilly, and once that boat started going that wind picked up. Matt is awesome even thinking ahead to make sure I brought my hoodie and fortunately we brought 3 blankets for lil man, we needed all 3!

Isn't it pretty?
And there is our Eskimo marsh mellow puff baby...lol all chumbawumba in his life vest...lol
He looked like a little turtle..popping his head outta that life vest.
Matt bought me this monogramed sign for the front yard and YESSSS (scoreeeeeeee) two baking items I've been gagging for! One makes mini brownie bunt cakes and the other makes cupcakes in the shape of ice cream cones, and instead of putting frosting on the cupcakes you put a scoop of ice cream right on top.. SOO cool! Can not wait for Cody's birthday next month to try it out! We also spent Saturday in Natchitoches again, post coming soon, just too many photo's to add to one post. So over all I had an AWESOME weekend! Aren't I lucky? I don't get just a day...I got a whole weekend! My boy's were home in time for dinner and to watch "The Tooth Fairy" with me, and Matt made us spicy cheesy chicken and rotel for dinner. I heart my family!

Matty made me a giant card at school with his beautiful little hand prints for me to always remember.
