Mother's Day 2011

My friend asked me if Chip was able to top last years Mother's Day.  For those of you that don't remember, he (and Hill) bought me my Toyota Sequoia for my first Mother's Day.  Although things weren't as extravagant this year I can honestly say that I had the most wonderful day.  My gift was so thoughtful.  He had someone come out to the house and help us get ideas for our yard.  How creative is he?  I can't wait to see what the lady comes up with.

More so than gifts, I enjoyed spending the day with my boys.  I love them so much and am so blessed.  Hill and I went to church  but left after Hill thought it would be a good idea to take off his shoe and chunk it at the man sitting in front of us.  Thank goodness (I guess) that the whole congregation was standing up and so the shoe hit him square in the middle of the back instead of his head!  Once we got home Chip took us to Lake Tiak-O-Khata for lunch. It was fabulous, as always.  Nothing like good home cooked meals.  After we ate we went to the lake to feed the fish.

 After we got home and took a nap we met, Nana & Papa (Chip's dad and step mom), Meryl, Shane and Shane Preston for a picnic and fishing out at the Country Club. 

All the necessities for a picnic and fishing

 These are the necessities for a picnic and fishing.

Woo, Mustard & Miller Lite.
I don't guess I can argue with that

Silly SP

One day I'll be big enough to climb these steps to slide

Yes, my dear boy, you will be big enough to climb the steps to the slide sooner than I care to admit.  You are growing up so fast!  Thank you for my wonderful day.  Most of all, thank God for choosing me to be your mommy!
