Memorial Day weekend

I had a fabulous memorial day weekend. This is a layout I did of us girls when we went out to dinner for Carmen's birthday. (photo courtesy of Carrie Postma) We went out to one of my favorites...Cheesecake Factory. Yum! Then we scrapped and the next day we shopped! What could be better, huh? The rest of the weekend we spent with my sister and her family and at my sons baseball games. Fun times!!

Now back to the grind but only 12 more days of school!! YEE-HAW!!

Have a fantastic day!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we went to church and then went out to lunch...Mexican food, my fave! Yum! Sid gave me a beautiful hanging flower basket. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out together. I received the sweetest gifts from my boys!

Aaron wrote me a poem.
Here it is...

Mom, the awesome mom I love.
The mother that cares for me.
The mother that helps me when I need it.
Mom, the caregiver for two children.
The perfect mother for me.
Mom, an amazing woman.
Always there for hugs and kisses.
The happy soul for every day.

Isn't that the cutest??? He's in 3rd grade.

Brendan gave me a packet called "Supermom" with various "fill-in-the-blanks" about me. He also gave me a flower pot that he colored.
Here are some of the questions...

The funniest thing I remember about Mom is...When she talks like Toby (our dog) if he could talk.
The most special gift I could give my Mom would be... a glass butterfly.
My Mom loves me best when... I am nice to others.
My Mom looks prettiest when...she smiles.

So sweet! He's in 2nd grade.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

My Sluggers

Here are a few pics of the boys sportin' their baseball uniforms. Coincidentally, they are both the "A's". Aaron is in Minors and Brendan is in Rookies. They are both havin' a blast and are learning tons. I'm sure I will be doing some baseball LO's sometime soon. I have been slacking on getting some good action shots but will before the season ends...hopefully on a sunny day! There has only been one game that they've each had when it didn't rain. We still have over a month left! Whew!! Six days a week of baseball is a lot but it is so much fun to watch them play!
