Mother’s Day

What a GREAT Mother’s Day! It started when I dropped Jaxson at day care Thursday morning. When we walked in his daycare provider pulled him aside and handed him a bag that was full of fun things he made me, including the bag itself!

Jaxson only goes to daycare on Thursday and Friday so they must have worked on all of this the week before. He decorated the entire bag, including the bottom. He also colored the picture frame and painted the flower pot. Jaxson has an AMAZING daycare provider and I just love all my presents!!

Peyton brought home lots of really fun stuff from school on Friday. He made me a beautiful crown so I was a princess for the day! And he also wrote about 10 reasons why he loves me. He was so creative with his answers and I love getting all these little momentos to keep!

On our way to my niece’s birthday party Saturday night Jason was telling me about the flowers he picked up for his mom earlier in the day. He got her a bunch of gerber daisies, which happen to be my favorite too. He also mentioned the nice hanging baskets they had and I said “Oh, I wanted a hanging basket” to which Jason replies, “Yeah, I know. I got that too”! I think if he hadn’t been driving he would have literally smacked himself in the forehead. All Peyton and I could do was laugh! I thought it was so funny that he slipped up and told me about one of my presents that he worked so hard to keep secret. Poor thing…………

Sunday morning started off with breakfast in bed all courtesy of Peyton. He got up, dressed, and went into the kitchen to make me toast and a glass of milk all before anyone else woke up. He’s such an awesome boy!

We took Jason’s mom her flowers and spent some time there with his parents around lunch time. After that I met my sister at my parents house to make dinner and spend some time with my mom. We brought her flowers and a card and plan to take her to brunch or dinner next weekend with just my two sisters and I. This has been our tradition for the past couple of years and it’s so nice to spend a little time, just the four of us.

I feel so blessed to be a mom. It’s a feeling you just can’t describe until you experience it and I wouldn’t trade one moment. Thank you to my mom for giving me such an unbelievable example to follow. You are an incredible mother and I love you always!!

To my boys – thank you for giving me the most rewarding role of my life, your mom! I love you Peyton and Jaxson!
