Ahhhh . . . Mother's Day

I have to admit that Mother's Day has not always been my favorite holiday. Many times it has been more of a disappointment than anything else. However, this Mother's Day was great and I have to give most of the credit to my wonderful husband. He really came through this year.

To start off with, I had to work last night into this morning and I fully expected to walk into a messy house like normal after I have worked but I was quite surprised. I walked into a CLEAN house!

Then I walked into my bedroom to get ready for bed and saw a vase of flowers on my nightstand with a card next to it. I didn't open it right away because I wanted to wait for Jason and the kids to be there, but HOW NICE! I got ready for bed and fell asleep.

A few hours later Jason and the kids woke me up to give me my cards/presents made in preschool. This is all I really expected. Then, Jason told Alex to show me the rest of my present. Alex made me cover up my eyes and follow him. He took me into the baby's room and to my surprise, all the things I have been begging Jason to hang were hung including the airplane that my sisters bought for me as a baby gift. He has it suspended from the corner of the room with fishing line. It looks AWESOME! (pics in the future . . . sorry)

Then, Jason got the kids ready and took them to his mom's house so I could get some more uninterrupted sleep. I slept the rest of the morning in a nice quite house.

Next, church. Then dinner at my mom's house . . . yummy. Home by 8:30, and rest and relax time. It really was a great day!

I love my little family so much and are so grateful for them. They truly make me happy. I remember after Alex was born I was on cloud 9 for months and months. I had never been so happy in my entire life. He brought so much joy to our house. Then Rachel was born and she was been such a ray of sunshine in our family. She is so sweet, my sweet little angel, and I just love her! I can't wait to see what this next little guy is like. I'm sure he will enrich my life in ways I haven't imagined. I really can't believe it's right around the corner.

I love being a mom, especially on days like today!

I am so proud of Jason. There goes another star added to the chart in my book. I am really glad you had a good mother's day, and I think, besides me and Jess and Jamie and Lindsay and Cami, that you are the best mom ever. No really, you are truly an awesome mom.
