Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day is one of my favorite holidays...especially since I became a mom. I love having a "day off" courtesy of Alan! And I love honoring my sweet mom who is the greatest person I know! We were also able to see Alan's mom a week before Mother's Day this year. Alan has never spoken an unkind word about his mom. I know she is one of the heroes in his life!

This year Megan adorned me with various gifts and many, many cards. One of my gifts was this bunch of white artificial flowers that she plucked out of a flower arrangement and then put into a vase of water. She is so stinkin cute! About mid-day, I had to yell down the stairs that I do distinctly remember giving birth to 2 boys as well as a daughter. The boys made their way up pretty quickly after that :). You gotta love boys!!!

Alan always does a good job keeping things clean and quiet on Mother's Day...just the way I like it! He picked up my favorite Cafe Rio meal Saturday night so I could have it on Sunday!!! And he taught my Primary class of 9 little 7 year old girls. He was a little brain dead after that haha.

What a great mother's day you had!

I'm not particularly fond of the holiday and while I had a good one, I'm still mulling over a post......

You have such stinking cute kids!

Glad you had a good day. We need to get together again. Seems I cut off that whole group of woman with the ending of the calling. Not on purpose, I just got a little busy. Missing our weekly chatting times.

I love the artificial flowers story of Megan's.
It's easy to be a mom to you. You are a delightful daughter to be proud of and a fantastic mom!

Great post! And great photos! You must be one heck of a mom to be raising such great kids. I usually hate Mother's Day, so I am glad to hear Alan does it right!
