HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!



Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there!! It's probably the hardest job in the world but well worth it. C.J (my brother) and I went in together and got my mom a mother's ring this year. Daddy helped too. I couldn't find a regular "mothers" ring that I liked so I got one that was a band set with every other sapphires (C.J.s stone) and Diamonds (my stone) in white gold. It was a simple band with a nice design and I thought it looked a lot better then the two stoned mothers rings so I went for that one. C.J grilled some steaks and I made a salad, baked potatoes and a cake. I think my mom really liked everything. We both wrote her a touching letter to go along with the ring as well. My mom, me, Rachel, Kaylee and Emily also went to the Mother Daughter lunch at the church. My Grandma and Great Grandma were there as well. It was nice spending time together. Today is actually Mother's Day and all I ask for is a nice lazy day and come Cracker Barrel for Dinner (take home). Mmmm... Cracker Barrel and Mmm... lazy day. So I'm off to read or lounge or something that's lazy.

Boys will be boys.

Not much excitement around here what with the weather turning to crap again. Why does it keep wanting to do this when I have pictures?!?! Freaky frack frick frock!! Thats basically what I think about those apples. So I'm finishing up some editing work and then doing 500 loads of laundry, dang people think they need to wear clothes... seriously people. Maybe maybe I'll be able to work out during the day... if not I'll have to figure it out later tonight. So short post.
These pictures are actually from a week ago...ish. Jimmy was around so he brought the camera with when we went to pick up the kids from the bus stop. So since today is gloomy and chilly I thought I'd post these, I left out all the butt shots... boys will be boys!
Walking down to the bus stop:
