Mother's Day

Today was a wonderful day! I was able to sleep late (one of my favorite things to do). Then after a yummy breakfast and some lazy time, we spent the day getting my flower beds ready for the Spring! The kids love to "garden" and were happy to help clean up the flower beds, trim the bushes and help plant the new flowers!

I love how neat and pretty the front of the house looks now. Check out my little helpers after a hard days work!

We finished up the day with Donnie grilling burgers and some fresh asparagus! I loved not having to cook!

And I finally figured out how to blog on my new Mother's Day present! This is my first post from my new iPad!! Woo hoo!!

The kids also made me lots of sweet cards and pictures!  Katie and John even used their own money to buy me carnations from school on Friday!  I am extremely blessed to have such loving and thoughtful children.

Katie wrote me a sweet letter that said...

Dear Mom,
Happy Mother's Day! You are the best because you watch me and keep me sage and I like that.  You are sweet, nice, spectacular, and splendid with love.  I love you so much.  I love you because you're my best and only mom.  You help me to be strong and free.  I like how you help me if I get stuck on a word or a question.
Love,
Katie

Katie, John, & Luke
I am so proud to be your mom!
