Mother's Day!

I know that Mother's Day was a few weeks ago,  but these past few weeks have FLOWN by!! We are OUT of school for the summer and we couldn't be HAPPIER! :) We are so excited about ALL that we have planned for our summer!! But that is all for a different post! Mostly I want to remember how special this past Mother's day was! Wyatt is a really thoughtful planner and I appreciate so much the thought, time and love he puts into special occasions! I don't think he is a natural at being thoughtful (hey, he IS a man) but over the 13 1/2 years that we have been together, he has grown into a VERY thoughtful husband and daddy!!! :)

  Wyatt let me sleep in on Mother's Day, and when breakfast was ready, two REALLY cute little kiddos came and woke me up and led me  to our table!! Our table was beautifully decorated with flowers, some of our nicest dishes and YUMMY treats from the Aviary!! YUM-O! After tasting each treat (I am not sure who was more excited about breakfast, the kiddos, Wyatt or I?! They had helped Wyatt pick out each treat the day before!) I got to open my handmade cards and gifts! Each kiddos had written me a sweet note, and I was so touched by their little handwriting and loving words! :) I was also very excited about the spa package Wyatt had chosen for me! :) (Again, so thoughtful!) We all got dressed and headed off to church! That morning our sermon was on REALationships!! (Also, I will be posting more about this sermon later, it was ahhhhmazing!:)) It made for very good conversation on the ride from church to my favorite restaurant...Jimm's! :) This has become our little families new Mother's Day tradition and I must say that I LOVE it! :) We had a reservation, so we were seated right away! Our kiddos were so sweet and so excited to be dining at such a nice restaurant! We ate and talked, and talked and ate! It! Was! WONDERFUL!!!!!! We were there over two hours just enjoying being our little family! After lunch we headed over to my parents house, and enjoyed time with my mom, Grandma and sister!! It was WONDERFUL!! That evening I went for a loooooong walk and then we grilled out and ate on our deck!! Even more than the delicious food and thoughtful gifts, I so enjoyed TIME with my family!! Both my little family and my extended family!!! It was a blessed day and I felt SO loved!
