Preparing for the party

It's been a busy week trying to get ready for boo's party tomorrow. We're so excited and so is she! Nick picked up the slide today and Rachel loved it! She kept saying this is so "awesome". I don't know who she heard say that because it's not one I use very often...I don't think! Anyway, we've been trying to clean and get ready for all of her friends to arrive. It's going to be such a fun day!

I've been reading alot of other blogs this week and found a poem for moms. I thought it was cool and I wanted to share it.

Mothers are special people
God knew that from the start
That's why he created them in His own image and to them gave the biggest heart.
She's able to heal our hurts with only a kiss and hug
She's able to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is never slow as a slug.
Mothers are special people
God knew they'd always be
He created them to do so much that involves you and me.
She has to be a teacher to teach us what we need to know
She has to be a taxi driver to get us where we need to go.
Mothers are special people
God knew His work was complete
When He created someone that could do SOOO much on her own two feet.
She is a Christian on Him she depends
She displays the fruit of the Spirit and a helping hand she is willing to lend.
Mothers are special people
God tells me so each day
For if it weren't for Him I wouldn't be one today.


Anyway, I feel extremely thankful for my mom and how much she has done for me. I've always tried to be like her and to be as selfless and loving with my kids as she has been with me and my siblings. She always set such an awesome example of what a mom is and I love her very much!
I love you, mom! Happy Mother's Day!

I also feel extremely blessed to have an awesome mother in law! I couldn't have asked for one who was more loving, caring and helpful! She raised one heck of a son who I feel very blessed to be married to! Love you, Deb! Happy Mother's Day!
