Mothers Day

It's so sad to think that it's been 7 years, since my mom passed away.  She was such a great influence on who I am.  She was a wonderful mom, and a great example to me.  I sure miss her.

Mike's mom is at the point, where she doesn't want gifts, so I try to think of things I can do to help her.  Her backyard is mostly a brick, with plants all around it.  In between the bricks, weeds had grown like CRAZY.  It looked pretty sad.  I spent the afternoon, weeding and cleaning her patio furniture. 

 It looked so much better!

Friday afternoon, Jamie called to see if I could tend Kelsi and Oliver. Molly was babysitting someone else's kids, and  Abi was at a friends house.  It's so fun to be able to tend again!   We made breakfast for dinner and had a great time playing games with these two.

Saturday, most of our kids went to Lagoon, Savannah is a little short to ride the rides, so we got to play with her.  We took her to visit Grandma Cline.  She hadn't seen her since she was tiny. 

Savvy is just the right size to push Mom's cute buggy.

Since we had gotten together last weekend for dinner, I told the kids they were welcome to do dinner with their mother in laws.  Krista invited Matt's family for dinner and had a fun celebration there.  Emily's mom ended up being out of town, Jamie's mom is in California and Merijane's family celebrated another day, so Jordan invited us to his house for dinner.  Jack ended up with a cough, so Josh's family didn't come, but Jamie and Emily still came, and we had a great time.
