Happy Mother's Day

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! I am truly blessed to have an amazing husband and children that did everything they could to make me have a great weekend!  I received some beautiful gifts from my husband and special children.

I will cherish Ethan's hand print forever! I understand Maddy picked out the picture herself. She says this is her "big" smile. The frame also has her voice recorded on it. So special!! And thank you Jeff for this beautiful bag!

We were able to spend time with both Grandmothers and some extended family too!

 Then we spent some time with Grandma Locke. Maddy helped to plant pumpkin seeds and worked in the garden.







 Ethan even got to spend a little time with Granddad while Grandma and Maddy were planting seeds.

I made these photo pots as Mother's Day gifts for the Grandmas this year... wish I could take credit for the idea, but I found this treasure on Pinterest. The initial creator made them as gifts for teacher appreciation week. I thought they would be great for mother's day. :) They were definitely a lot of fun to make!

one completed, one still drying...

finished product... just needs a bow!

  

Found this... thought I would post for my babies. I'm so thankful to be your mommy. 

Legacy You are my legacy.
My whole world revolves around you,
everything you are and will some day be.
Everything I do, every decision I make
is made with you in mind.
You are precious, important and
worth everything.
You matter to me.
You are my mission.
The never ending dirty dishes
can't compare to my everlasting love.
The heaping piles of soiled laundry
cannot top the mountain of joy in my heart.
The constant daily discipline
and teaching are non negotiable.
You will one day appreciate.
You are brilliant.
You soak in the world around you
with such wonder and amazement.
Your strong body, creative mind and tender spirit
are growing right before me.
One day I will see the fruit of my labor
and you will become who God made you to be.
You are my legacy.
