Mother's Day 2012

This was the first Mother's Day that I haven't gotten breakfast in bed. The reason being that we have 8am church on Sunday mornings. So, my sweet husband cooked breakfast for me on Saturday night. He made pancakes, sausage patties, and biscuits with sausage gravy. It was so good, and we all got to sleep in on Sunday morning!

After church, I tried to get a picture of me with the four kids...Lawrence does not have much patience when taking pictures so these are the best we have and I am so thankful for them. Thank you Lawrence!!

 My wonderful husband treated me to chicken stew and chocolate brownies today. I am so lucky to have him and these four wonderful spirits that call me Mom.

I am blessed to have wonderful women in my life who are examples of exactly what the word mother entails. Thank you all for the example you set for me on a daily basis. I would not be the woman or mother I am without you all in my life. I hope you all had a very Happy Mother's Day! I love you all!

8 months old...already!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is already 8 months old!! He is growing up so fast. Love you LJ.

Second Grade Super Speller

Jonah was one of twelve finalists in the second grade spelling bee held at his school on Friday. And he WON FIRST PLACE!!!! He got a trophy, certificate, and Wal-Mart gift card! Mom and Dad are so proud of him!

Spelling Bee Finalist

Jonah jumped into the car on Friday with a HUGE smile on his face! I asked my usual "How was your day?". He replied, "It was good, oh and I'm a spelling bee finalist"  another HUGE SMILE!!!!

"What??? Are you serious? I am so very proud of you Jonah"....of course as I started tearing up.

I have a sitter set up from Friday so I can see him compete in the 2nd grade level spelling bee.

We are so very proud of Jonah...he absolutely loves school and learning new things!!!
