Mother's Day 2013

 To me, Mother's Day is ALLLLL

about my beloved mother!

BUT...I also think about some VERY

special other mothers in my life ~

like my sisters, my mother-in-law,

my Aunt Kitty,

several of my dearest friends,

my kids' teachers...

and, most of all, Mrs. Janice!!!

She "mothers" my little Hudson

every morning for me!

AND she is AMAZING...

a beautiful bouquet of flowers is

merely a very, very small token

of how much we love and appreciate her!  

 Plus she helps him create for me

THE sweetest treasures EVER!!!!!!!!!

 

On the actual Sunday of Mother's Day,

my precious little family let me sleep in a

little bit (BeST gIfT EvER!!!!!).

Then I hurried to get ready to go and meet

my mother at her church which was so special

because they showed a video that I had

sent pictures of my mother with her three girls

and grandkids for.  The sermon was about

the fruits of the spirit (which MY sweet

mother happens to possess!) and it was just

a very special morning for me being

with my mother and her sweet Sunday School

friends at her church. 

Before I left, though, my little loves

spoiled me ROTTEN!!! 

Donuts, cards, gifts and, most best of all...

lots of hugs and kisses!!!

 They were SO excited to give me my gifts!!!

First of all...Walker's gift that he made me at school.

Tears did fall:( Most special gift I've ever received!

A painting with three poems he

wrote for me on the back!!!

His "Mom You Are" poem about did me in!;)

"Mom You Are"

By Walker Pierce

 

You are sweet and loving

You wonder about me all the time

You hear me when I speak

You want me to always be happy

You are sweet and loving

 

You pretend while you play with me

You feel my love to you

You touch my hand

You worry about me getting hurt

You cry about Travis

You are sweet and loving

 

You understand me

You say my name

You dream for Travis

You help me all the time

You hope I will go to college

You are sweet and loving

Hadlee's sweet, precious gifts that she made

me at school were equally as sweet!!!

My children are PURE L-O-V-E!!!!!!!!

Then they gave me the bear they had won

me at Fuddruckers;) AND an awesome

new high tech camera that I am still trying

to learn how to use!  It is fancy & fun!!!

Being mommy to Walker, Hadlee and Hudson

is the best feeling in the WORLD!!!

Practicing with the new camera!!!

 

Such a special day...I wish I had known just how

special this day really is while I was growing up.

I don't think I probably ever did enough

to show my mother how much I love

and appreciate her!  I try to now though:)

On our way to lunch and I just had to

text Mrs. Janice & Adrienne to show them

I had on the dress & necklace they

got me for my birthday! :))) 

We met my parents at Chuys for lunch
(my mother and I both love that place!)...

I happen to believe my mother is the

sweetest, kindest person in the world! 

THIS is what Mother's Day is alllllll about to me...

my dear mother and my beloved children!!!

After lunch, we went to visit and love on

my mother-in-law who I love SOOOO dearly, too!!!!

Just the other day, a friend was complaining about her

mother-in-law and asked if anyone would trade

with her;)  A couple of my friends raised their

hands...but NOT me!  I said NO WAY!!!!!!

I am blessed BLESSED blessed:)

 

Then we went to the park....



There couldn't be a better way to spend my afternoon!!!

I couldn't be a mama without THIS amazing man!

ThaNKfuL and then some!!!!!!

 

I couldn't resist posting this picture

on Facebook...what a treasure!!!

I love my mom and sisters ~

in fact, they all THREE have mothered

me my entire life and made

me the mother I am!!!!!!!

"Shout for joy to the Lord,

all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before Him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is He who made us, and we are His;

we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the Lord is good and His

love endures forever;

His faithfulness continues

through all generations."
Psalm 100 



Such a wonderful Mother's Day ~

My cup truly runneth over!
