Had a SWEET Mother's Day!

I was extremely spoiled this Mother's Day. Not only was it my third Mother's day expecting a new little one, but it was the most spoiled I have ever felt. We will be staying home and doing nothing but swimming for fun the next few weeks. I think Matthew just wanted to spoil me after the hard time we had and while it was hard to accept it all...I know they did it from love.


I woke-up to these sweet wrapped presents. The boys decorated them and they are so cute. Remy drew sweet little things all over his.

Elijah made a little oragami "lake" scene on his!

Remy gave me an ice cream maker that sets on the counter and I never have to worry about buying ice or rock salt again! LOVE IT! He has requested Mint Chocolate Chip for dessert tonight...so I will blog that later for you.


Elijah and I love Dim Sum and anything steamed and he got me the best bamboo steamer basket.


The boys also found a little something for Bumble Baby. They got a little sock monkey because you know Remy thinks that Bumble needs a monky just like he has. And they said that Bumble got me a cookie dough scooper since my other one bit the dust. HEE HEE I guess Bumbles would need a cookie making mama. ;)

They then went to all the "mommy" stores because it was cold and gloomy. I bought my mother the best present. I can't blog about it right now. Perhaps she will take a photo with it when she gets it. ;)


I went to the Family Christian Book Store and then they boys took me to Olive Garden. Matthew had a gift card and so we used that up. Our sweet friend Destiny served us while we were there. That was a treat.


After that I shopped for some lunch challenge stuff and came home. Bumble just felt so heavy yesterday and I forgot my belt.


Oh yea, I will now be able to wash more than 5 pieces of clothing at a time, they will not be sopping wet when I place them in the dryer, and my little cloth diapers will have a nice washing once Bumble is here because Matthew bought me a new washer!!!! It will be here thursday. My washer I have now is soooo ooollld! It walks when it washes, no joke, you can't adjust or balance it anymore. Matthew has held it together because I haven't wanted to spend the money. We have needed one BAD for the past few years. I can't wait!!!! I will be finding stuff to wash! OH, and it will hold my blankets!!!! I can wash all the jeans at once! I can wash all the towels at once!!!!


See what I mean? S-P-O-I-L-E-D! It was better than Christmas for me!


I love my men so much. I am so blessed. It almost undid me when I saw the gifts that the boys had bought and that through our time together through the years my little boys really know me. They know what I like and they aim to cherish me. It is so emotional that I almost can't go on when I think on it.


God, Thankyou for sweet men!

Happy Mother's Day!

My men kept me so busy yesterday! I didn't call my mother until this morning. ;) I tell ya, I just adore my family. Getting back to them and to what is important is a gift I will forever owe a friend that left us way too soon.

Mother's Day just reminds us how much we do enjoy our roles. And for me it is a time of thinking on how I want to keep what is blessing us and to leave the stuff behind that isn't. I am really looking forward to our school work this summer and our playtime. I am very blessed to have them home with me. To be their teacher.

And they showed me how much they love me for doing on my special day.

Remy gave me the "Cooking Mama" game for the Wii and a pair of dark brown capri's with a yellow tie. He says they are monkey pants. Hee hee...

Eli gave me a measuring cup, that matthew broke when we moved here to the evil tiled floor! He also gave me an herb mincer. Should come in handy when all that basil starts to grow. As soon as we start them.

Matthew snapped these before we left for the morning church service.
