Mike and I have been married for 11 years! Every year gets better so I am sure we have many happy times ahead of us.
Dana and Landon's anniversary is the same week so we swapped babysitting and went on dates! We went to Zupas because I had been craving is for a week. It was a nice night off kitchen duty and the food was delicious. We are in the middle of our no-sugar challenge, so we at the strawberries without the chocolate and enjoyed them anyway!
After that we went to a movie at Thanksgiving Point called "Heaven is For Real." It was so sweet and I couldn't keep the tears from streaming down my face. It hit close to home because I also have a precious little boy, who happens to have a blue blankee and Spiderman he carries around. Anyway, it was refreshing to go on a real date (we don't usually leave Jake yet) and so nice to spend time just the two of us!
On Friday night Mike took Tyler to Fathers and Son's, so the girls and I (after Jake went to bed) had a party! We watched Anne of Green Gables (Maddie just read the book), painted nails, and ate popcorn.
I had a moment of insanity and said yes to the girls sleeping in my bed! It was sweet to fall asleep singing songs together and snuggling... until I got smothered by warm bodies! I ended up sleeping curled up on the end of the bed while they had free reign. :)
Mother's Day was very sweet. My girls are getting older and more specific and accurate in their writing. I love their questionnaires!
Ella's is hard to read... it says, "My mom is 31 years old and had brown hair. My mom is the best at making dinner but she's not very good at resting. My mom always says she loves me. She loves to cook spaghetti. Her favorite thing to do with me is read. When my mom is happy she smiles. My mom thinks I am cute. My mom and I like to watch movies. Love, Ella."
My bleeding hearts are in full bloom and they remind me so much of my mom's yard growing up. We had a beautiful yard and an even more beautiful childhood! I am so lucky to have a talented, selfless, and giving mom. She has done so much for me, and continues to love and support me on my own journey of motherhood!
Mike let me chose my Mother's Day hanging flower basket for the front porch.
My family spoiled me and let me have a nap after church, and then wouldn't let me in the kitchen to cook dinner! I gave some pointers from afar, but they did it all!
Baked spaghetti and spinach salad tasted even better because I didn't make it! And Mike even cleaned up the kitchen.
I love being a mommy to these priceless packages... especially when they are kind and obedient....
...or sleeping! What a little angel.
