Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day, because I'm always reminded
of what amazing kids I have.

I started the day with some home-made gifts and cards...my favorite!!

My son wrote a book of various types of poems, from a sonnet to a haiku. They were all centered around me. I learned in those poems that I clean a lot and discipline a lot. I guess all the other priceless memories I've made aren't as etched in his memory as they are mine, lol.

We went to breakfast and then came home and took pictures in the backyard. The kids get sick of it, because I do it every Mother's Day. But I love it...After all, I wouldn't be a mom if it weren't for them!

Jeremy insisted that I didn't cook or clean today, so he said he would make lunch.

Then we went to celebrate with my in-laws. The kids made Grandma a frame with their handprints and decorated it themselves. They were so proud. I've always told them home-made gifts are much more meaningful than something they can buy at the store. I sure hope Grandma agrees.

Olivia was showing Grandpa and Grandma how to use the iPhone. She can navigate her way through a complex technical device, but still can't pee on the toilet. Love her.

Cheryl knows how much my Livi loves cupcakes, so she made some cupcakes in a jar. Not only do they look cute, but they are so much easier (and less messy) to eat.

What a fun day. I just love these crazy kids!!
