All about Me today....Its Mothers Day!

We had planned on spending Mothers Day at Chris' mom's house. She lives on 2 acres and we were all in for a day of yard work and fun! I mean, sweating, yard work and kids...what more could you ask for? As you can see, Allison & Lauren found lots of thing to keep them busy while Chris, Kim and I mowed, trimmed, picked up sticks....you get the idea.

We actually did have a great day, and I love being in the yard. The kids seem to find ways to entertain themselves..as you can see.

When we got done in the yard, we ran back home to take showers before heading back over to cook-out. It was nice to have a day off and still work. But this kind of work is the fun kind. Especially with the girls being there and us all being together all day, outside together meant the world.

Lauren made her special tie out of lovely strands of tall grass. That tie stayed on pretty good even though it wasn't 'tied' to anything.

The River's Crew...Patsy, Chris, Kim (Thats Ms. Awesome herself) and Drew. What a bunch, huh?

Such a lovely picture of Kim...this was after opening her Birthday/Mothers Day stuff. Can't remember what the plaque said...but it fit!

I think this was the only picture out of 10 that I took where I didn't cut Chris' head off. Which is usually the first statement he makes after I take one. I can't help it though, either my arms have to get longer or he needs to shrink a few inches. He is 9 inches taller than me.

Patsy did get us a Mothers Day Cookie....Jordan got a piece, which was the one square off to the left..then he came back for a 2nd piece. When Kim went to cut where her name was, I gave her the 'clearing of the throat', which after looking at me and me pointing out NOT to cut her own name out, she finally realized what I meant. So then the square to the right got cut, THEN and only THEN was it appropriate for me to take a picture of the Mothers Day Cookie! It has the best names on it!

It was a wonderful Mothers Day! Anytime I can spend quality time with the girls is wonderful! I love being a mom!
