Happy Mother's Day!


Happy Mother's Day! I hope that all you mothers had a wonderful day. My family started off by giving me flowers on Friday! Then today they gave me two wonderful gift certificates, one to Dress Barn and the other is to the spa, I can't wait to go and get pampered!!! The kids were so excited that today was "mommy's day". They did everything possible to make my day special. I told Daniel that I wish the kids would stay the age they are forever. They are so much fun to be around and so sweet and loving! I love being a mommy!!! I thank God for the wonderful family he has given me.

Now, to our weekend. In the last blog I mentioned that Grace Anne was sick. She ended up having a virus and strep throat. I took her to the doctor and they gave her medicine to help her get to feeling better for the weekend.

My brother(Lee) and one of his friends(Greg) came to stay with us this weekend. Austin(my nephew) came along with them to hang out with us. Lee, Daniel and Greg went to the NASCAR Race in Darlington on Friday and Saturday night, while the kids and I enjoyed spending time with Austin.






The kids and I went to the park on Friday. On our way home we stopped and got shaved ice, you can tell in the picture by the red mouth and teeth that Gracie and Austin enjoyed their treats!!! Grace Anne and Drew enjoyed Austin being here. They love him sooo much! We miss Austin and Emma, and wish we lived closer so we could hang out with them more often!

Drew playing with Uncle Possum! We have nicknames for everyone in our family. The kids call Lee "Uncle Possum" and Austin "Bubba"!
The guys did not go to the race track Saturday until @ 5p.m., so we got to enjoy some time with them. Oh, I forgot to mention that on Saturday, Uncle Possum took the kids and spoiled them by buying them LOTS of toys!

Well, that sums up our weekend. We really enjoyed our company. The guys all had a blast at the race and are planning on it being a yearly tradition!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers, Drew got sick today(Sunday) I think he got Grace Anne's virus and I am not feeling good, my throat is sore.:-( I am hoping we are all on the road to recovery!:-) Hope you have a great week!
