Blessed Mom

My Mother's Day 2010

My day began with breakfast at Trent's daycare. They always make sure that the kids honor and celebrate every occasion, especially Mother's Day. The look on Trent's face is so precious to me....he was so proud to give me the gifts he had made. I got a flower, notepad, hand-made card, and a jar of skittles.



My sweet little boy......


My mother is special to me.....she cooked dinner for us at her house. The food was delicious as always!


Natalee celebrated Mother's Day in her kindergarten class by inviting me to a Mother's Day Tea. Each girl in her class had made her very own "bonnett" and the boys made "baseball caps". The classroom tables were decorated with pink tablecloths and we ate cookies and had some delicious punch. Natalee gave me a flower, poem, and card.



Here is the letter Natalee wrote for me:


If you are a mom, you know what it feels like to be truly "blessed". Children are so precious....not only in our eyes as moms, but also in God's eyes.

I love to be able to spend these special days with my children. They mean everything to me.

I'm afraid.......

I'm afraid that I just might live with some rednecks......three of them to be exact!

Nathan takes pride in his Harley - he washed it up good the other day. Then, to dry it off.....well, you can see what he did.......automatic dryer..."Redneck"



It was a very hot day in May, and since we do not have a pool (yet....maybe next year) nor do we even have a "sprinkler", I turned on the sprinkler system on the front yard and let the kids run loose and have a good time. They thought it was lots of fun. What can I say? "Redneck?"

Atlanta Trip #1

We took a trip back in April during Spring Break to see the Atlanta Braves play ball and to visit the Coca-cola Museum. If you know me , you know why we went to the 2nd place! : )

Natalee and Trent love taking trips. They love staying in the motel and everyone sleeping in one big room. They especially love seeing and doing things they have never done before. Natalee is at the point where she enjoys hearing stories from us about how we came to the Braves games when we were her age. I'm thankful that me and Nathan are able to take them on trips and make memories with them.

Here's some pics:

First stop- Braves game. We saw an awesome game......however, Trent was ready to go in the 2nd inning because he was upset that it wasn't "his turn" to play. He dressed up in his baseball pants, shirt with "Trent 17" on the back, cleats, hat, and glove. He was READY to PLAY! We made it through the entire 9 innings. The Braves won the game and we enjoyed a fireworks show afterwards.




He's thinking....."when are they gonna let me play, Mama?"


Next stop - the Coca-Cola Museum! I could just live there. I used to collect Coke stuff, but I haven't bought anything in a long time. Most of my Coke stuff is upstairs and we will use it to decorate the new playroom.

More summer events to come: Mother's Day, Natalee's Kindergarten Graduation, Father's Day, Orlando Vacation, and Atalanta Trip #2......stay tuned!
