Mother's Day 2008

It's kinda hard to see, but Joshie colored this card for me in Sunday School for Mother's Day. Even though last year was my first mother's day, this one was special. This was the first time my baby was old enough to make me something for mother's day! I remember all the projects, cards, etc. That I would make for my mom. When I got older I thought that they were ugly, and how could she stand to keep them!! I made her a puzzle piece pin one year, a clay ring holder another year, and countless other projects. Now I know why she not only kept them but was proud of them - they were made with so much love that you can't help but love them and show them off. You might see a pre-cut card that says "mom" with Josh and Jenna's picture, but I see a creative 1 year old who loves to color and made mommy something special to show he loves me.

Jason also made it special for me this year. He took me out to a tuscan restaurant right on the waterway - Brio. Altough there was a long wait (Prom night somewhere) it was worth it. He arranged for my sister and brother in law to watch the kids and I was able to spend an evening with my love - just like old times. That was on Saturday night.

The actual day of Mother's Day we spent with my dad and his wife and then all joined up for a casual dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. Its always fun to eat together and spend some quality time together. We learned though that Joshie and Elisha can't sit next to each other - they are too worried about playing together and forget to eat their dinner. Joshua also informed us (and the rest of the restaurant) that he knows where his belly button is. The funny thing is that he can't quite say "button" so it comes out "butt"....LOL...Here's the video of it:
