Happy Mother's Day??

Was it Mother's Day today? Did my family get the memo?

Anyway, it was another busy Sunday morning but I managed to get some pictures in before we headed off to church. Notice that Dallen was half asleep while dressing, trying desperately not to grumble (his 2nd Mother's Day gift to me) - his white shirt and tie look may just catch on...you never know!



Lad's Mother's Day gift to me - a really long nap! Thank you very much! Dallen also painted a very nice picture for me at school and also wrote a nice poem - acknowledging that I am the one that makes sure he has clean clothes. (At least it doesn't go unnoticed!)

Later in the afternoon, we headed out to Laie Cemetery to visit Lad's parent's graves. Austen was confused as to whether or not Grandma died. He kept asking, "Grandma died?" The only Grandma he knows is my Mom - although he didn't seem TOO disconcerted, he talked to the grave marker quite a long time and took special care to dust the sand and dirt from it. We had to reassure him that Grandma and Grandpa with Murphy and Chancey are Mommy's Mommy and Daddy and the Grandma and Grandpa at the graveyard is Daddy's Mommy and Daddy. I still think he's a bit confused.

Apparently, I'm also a mother to a cat, chicken, and bunny because I'm the only one taking care of them. Seems as if all my kids love to taunt and tease each other - note the chicken's post just outside our screen door? Sugar always finds unusual positions to sleep in and strange places to perch. And since I had space, why not include a cute picture of my mischievous daughter?



Wanted to wish my Mom a happy day - even though she's caring for my Dad who just happens to have some serious pain from kidney stones today. Hang in there, Mom - all the ladies know just how much a male in pain is a PAIN! Hope Dad gets better soon - for your sake! HA! Love you!

Here's wishing all the Mommy's out there a very Happy Mother's Day. Hope you were appreciated today and will be for always!
