Happy Mother's Day!!

Brackon got the cutest poem in nursery today. I just have to share:

Mommy,
If all these kisses aren't enough,
There's two hands to help with garden stuff
If all these hugs don't work their charm,
There's two arms to help keep you warm
If this gift doesn't show how much I care,
I have REAL hugs and kisses to share!

It is soo much fun being a mom, especially to the best boy in the whole world! Brackon is soo easy going! He doesn't like to be home (like his momma!) He always wants to go see Chantel- everyday he says he wants to go see her! Brackon gets along well with EVERYONE. We were at Cafe Rio standing in line once and he patted a guy on his back and started talking to him. The old guy said, "do I know you guys?" We said, "no, he is just really friendly!" Brackon loves his toddler bed! He LOVES his little puppy. He walks around the house bouncing his puppy and saying, "shh, shh, shh." He always shares his food with his puppy too!!

Well, since it is Mother's Day, I want to tell my mom how much I love her!! You have taught me some very important values, especially by your example. "Don't sweat the small stuff." You are a very determined lady. You can do anything! Anything you want to do, you can. You are VERY supportive. Especially with whatever crazy idea I come up with. You rasied 14 kids plus a few others. You are very selfless. You love and take very good care of your mom. I love that you taught me the importance of family. You always have a listening ear and come up with the best solutions! You are not afraid to do anything. I love you mom and hope you had a GREAT Mother's Day!!

To Bobbie, my mother-in-law... You have raised an awesome young man, whom I am so lucky to have as my husband!! You are a VERY hard worker... (you should take some time to RELAX and SPA yourself!! :)) You deserve it!! You are always happy. You are an awesome grandma and are willing to help whenever needed. You are very selfless. You are a great friend! Thanks for being the awesomest mom to us!!! We love you and hope you had a GREAT Mother's Day!!

My Mother's Day was great! Dusty bought me some new kitchen rugs and Brackon got me a Willow Tree figurine. I wanted to go visit our families today, but I had to teach. When we got home, we decided to cook some pizza. So, we started the oven and all this smoke started coming out. We opened it up and then a fire started. Both fire alarms went off! It reminded me of that commercial, "There's always a reason to get out and eat!" I decided that since it was Sunday, the food probably wouldn't be as good at a restaurant, so Dusty grilled us some yummy BBQ chicken! We went for a motorcycle ride and just hung out.

This weekend, we went to a matinee, "Iron Man". It was a really good show!! I totally recommend it! For those of you who know "Tim", my dearest friend. Iron Man's role reminds me of him and how he may not be doing what other "people" say to do, BUT his results have proven to be better. AND, Iron Man reminds me of my brother-in-law, Jared, because when he is determined, he gets things done! Brackon LOVED the show, but he just couldn't stay awake through the whole thing! He fell asleep like the last 30 minutes.
Brackon looks pretty cute in this PINK hat!!
Brackon went over to our neighbor's house and enjoyed PULLING and BEING PULLED by this little dog. He had a GRAND time!!
