I had a very nice Mother's Day. I woke up to Joshy giving me this:
Actually, I had to ask for it. I think he forgot about it since he made it in school and brought it home 2 weeks early, because they went off track, so he had to hide it. However, I couldnt wait to see what he made for me! Can you believe his penmanship!? Inside this envelope made with love was:
They are magnets. Josh is way into art and drawing roses. I now have a rose magnet and a Josh magnet. I love them!We started the day with Jareds Mom, Cynthia. Cynthia is a FABULOUS Mom, Mother in Law and Grandma. We/I couldn't be luckier to have her around. We wanted to take her to breakfast for Mother's Day, but as usual, it was her treat. Thank you!
To top off the day I got to have my FABULOUS Mom over along with some other wonderful Mothers (L to R): Lisa, My Mom, me, Teena (evie), Angela and Katie. I love these girls to death and I am so glad that they were able to come over.
To my Mom: I think you are the best Mom and Grandma and I appreciate everything you do for us. My kids enjoy spending time with you. They had such a great time at lunch the other day! I miss seeing you on Mondays more than you will ever know. I am so glad I have got to see you the past 2 times I went to the post office. Hope to talk to you soon! Love, Barbi
Cynthia: You are also one of the best Moms and Grandma's around. You have shown Jared how to be such a great person and he is the best husband, and example, because of that. My kids love their grandma Cynthia. Thanks for everything you do for us!
Lisa, Teena, Katie, Krystal, Star & Amanda (sorry if I missed anyone - i dont think too many people read this): You are all wonderful moms in so many different ways. Some of you are way patient with your kids, some of you bring fun and laughter into your families, some of you are disciplined, some of you have religion but most of all, your kids know how much you love and adore them. I am lucky to have you as my friends.
I know Shirley will never read this, she doesnt even own a computer, but I cant forget her. Shirley you are a very special great grandma and I am so happy that my kids have gotten to know you and Tom. Most kids arent able to know their great grandparents like my kids do. You mean the world to them.
I love being a Mom. I was thrown into this motherhood thing at the young age of 20, and I have loved it so much. They are such sweet, mommas boys. I am so lucky.
