Mother's Day Photos

This is one of my favorite "holidays." Not because it's a day dedicated to me or all moms, but because it's a day to reflect on being a mom. I am reminded of the days when I found out that a little life was growing inside me. I look back on the two days that changed my life forever--May 10, 2005 and July 8, 2007. I have been blessed with two beautiful, sweet, precious children and I am so thankful to be their mom.

Scott was sneaky and hid my cards all over the house...in my bathroom drawer, in the refrigerator by my coffee creamer, and in Will's underwear drawer :) The cards he picked were absolutely perfect and it's been a great day so far. The "photo shoot" was so much fun and later today, we plan on planting my gift...new flower beds!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! It's a beautiful day in our neighborhood, and I hope yours is beautiful, too.


Since I work in the floral industry, I've had a busy week. I worked all day Friday and Saturday and I am pretty beat. I feel like a bad mom because I've barely seen my child the past couple of days! When I got home yesterday, I crashed for about three hours. Thankfully, that little rush is over and we won't be as busy in the next few weeks to come. While his parents were in town, Scott and his dad were able to paint the baby's room. It is now a beautiful shade of buttery yellow! When we get it all set back up (currently, most of her furniture is residing in our bedroom), I'll take some pictures.

This morning we enjoyed a breakfast of assorted cereals and exchanged cards (Scott's parents and grandmother were still here). I was very excited to get a gift certificate for a massage. I will (hopefully) be redeeming it very soon!

Scott, Will and I headed off to church and left Grammy, Papa, and Grandma Connie to pack up and head on home. When we returned and before we got all our fancy clothes off, Scott took some pictures of Will and I outside. The first few are in our front yard. I wish I could take credit for the flower-bed in the other pictures, but that belongs to a neighbor around the corner. Her flowers are gorgeous this year because of all the rain we've had. So, without further ado, here they are:

And finally, I leave you with a few pictures from Will's birthday. I wanted to do a great big birthday post with lots of pictures from his party, but I forgot my camera's memory card when we went to Chuck E. Cheese's. We did borrow Leland and Harmony's camera, but she hasn't been able to send me the pictures yet. So, here are a few from my mother-in-law's video camera. Hopefully more will come soon!

We got Will a "Cozy Coupe" for his birthday...here he is test-driving after his traditional blueberry muffin birthday breakfast.

Wow, Chuck E. Cheese is a pretty good artist!

One last thing...tomorrow, Monday, May 14th, our baby name poll will be featured on the www.babycenter.com homepage. Head on over and vote for your favorite!
