Mother's Day ~ belated!

Yes, I did celebrate on time. Just didn't post in a timely manner ~ which seems to be my life recently; behind on everything! Anyway, I had a great Mother's Day. We decided a few years back that I wanted Mother's day to be quiet and relaxing for ALL of us!

So pick up a picnic lunch and head to the park. We don't have to wait for hours at a restraunt, or fight cranky kids to eat or sit still! They can run and play and I can sit and relax! *smile* Praising Jesus the rain held off for us to enjoy the park!


This year our friend the V-family came along!


I love this pic of Little Pumpkin ~ Pure joy!


And our sweet AJ! What will we ever do without them?!?


Of course, what's Mother's day without a picture of the family that makes me a mother!

After all the fun we could stand, we headed to my mom's for the evening. A fun game of Phase 10 (dice style) and then Pizza King pizza! YUMMY! My brother surprised my mom and me!


My mom and her kids ~ excuse the off centeredness. But it was the best one of all of us!

And finally I leave you with me and my mom! It was a great day thanks to my sweet hubby for hanging in there and just letting me do what I wanted! I love you! And mom, thanks for having me! *wink*
