Mother's Day 2013

We had a great Mother's Day weekend.  Very low key but spent with our family, our mama's and of course a day all about me!!!

Friday the kids came home from school with cute handmade cards, Trace brought me a cake he decorated at school from publix...full of sprinkles cause he knows his mama's favorite thing besides our family is sprinkles!!! Also a little flower that I must say is strong and has withstood be dry, spending the night on its side and is still blooming beautifully!! I got a new Pink fishing pole!!!  Woohoo!!

My card from Hannah and cake and flower from Trace

 Saturday we had Blue Highway Pizza, cake and chocolate covered strawberries.

When we got home I made lasagna with sausage and spinach for our lunch on Sunday when my mom and sister came over.

 On Sunday I woke up...LATE... to kisses from my two babies and Hannah brought me coffee.  The kids and made me a yummy omelet in bed and let me relax and watch and TV.

Then my mom and and sister, fiance, and kiddies came over after meeting in town for some pictures amid the wild flowers...

My beautiful babies!!

After a yummy lunch my mom went to visit some friends and we headed to Dad's and Grammy Lisa's for some food, pool and good times!!  All in all we had a busy but great weekend.  I know one thing for sure I am truly blessed.

I hope all the other Mother's out there that read my blog had a wonderful Mother's Day also!!

Until next time!!

Weekend fun

The weather has been up and down for the last couple weeks.  Hot Hot Hot weather than cold and rainy in the blink of an eye.  When it is beautiful we immediately use that time wisely and what I love about spring and summer is laying out, swimming, fishing and soaking up love time with my family!!

We have been out on our boat 4 times in the last month.  Last weekend we took Trace out for the day and we had a blast.  Hannah stayed poolside over at Grandpa and Lisa's house.

bathing beauty!!

This weekend the kids were with their dad and it was rainy on Saturday.  The damp weather made my back ache so I spent it in bed on a heating pad.  Sunday I blogged, uploaded pictures and caught up on my TV and read.

Next weekend is Mother's Day so I am looking forward to spending the day with my mom.  I made her, my Nannie, my Grannie and  Mom Judy super cute cards on snapfish.  I also made Judy a collage of our Easter pictures.  My mom wants a family picture made so hopefully we will be able to do that in a field with flowers next weekend.  I also made my Aunt Theresa and my dad picture cards for their Birthdays.  I have something planned to make for Father's Day for him.

I love Snapfish and what's so cool is I was able to make different cards for each person and with snapfish mailing them the cards were like $3.50 a piece.  You can't beat it.  There were cheaper than the store and 1,000 times more priceless!!  I will probably never buy a store card for a family member again.

They also have discounts up to 40% off.

We have a busy next couple months and we are all looking forward to summer break.

In two weeks we have Hannah's field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo on a Tuesday and on Friday Trace's trip to Seaworld.  Brittany is graduating from high school the end of May.  We have her graduation party and Curtis' birthday party the beginning of June.  We are hoping to go away for a long weekend over Father's day and for my birthday and then a Girl Scout field trip to Homosassa State Park the end of June.  Also I am taking online classes for my Coding and Billing certification.  Its crazy, we are busy, I love it and wouldn't change it!!

Until Next Time!!

Hannah and Trace's Birthday Part 3...Finally

Yes, Yes, Yes it has taken me 3 different posts to complete the kids birthday weekend, but thats ok.....that is how I roll....

So Sunday after a trip to Busch Gardens and actually the day before their Birthday and on St. Patrick's Day we had the kids birthday party at our house.  I did not go all crazy like I did last year....well maybe only a little.  But.... I can't help myself!!!

Food we had Corned Beef and Cabbage (did I mention St. Patty's Day??!!), Hamburgers, Hotdogs, chips and dip, macaroni salad and of course cake, cupcakes and ice cream!!

My fridge is slightly slanted...LOL...not really

We had another great beautiful day spent with family and friends.  Good conversation, opening presents, playing and shooting the potato gun...all things all families do with a few southern touches!!
