I LOVE being a MOM!!!

What a lucky MOM I am!!! My wonderful family gave me a FABULOUS Mother's Day. It started with a delicious breakfast, then during the afternoon Austin took a loooooong nap so I could peacefully finish my book while Randy supervised Lexus & Kimberly making dinner (pork loin, mashed potatoes, salad, bread, applesauce, and corn). They showered me with lots of homemade cards, flowers and an oh-so-yummy triple chocolate Servatti's cake!

 As the school year ends, there are many teachers to say "Thank You" to. Here are the cards I made for Austin and Kimberly's teachers...



 I just love, love, love when my kids all play together. They were setting up Barbie World on the deck. Austin was in charge of all the animals.
 *Sigh!* Our baby has completed his first year of school; where did the last 4 1/2 years go! I am sure every parent has or will experienced the emotions we are going through right now. We are proud and excited for Austin to reach new milestones and watch him grow and change in a multitude of facets. At the same time he is our "baby" and the last of our children to go through these stages. We will never again have a newborn to cradle or chase a waddling toddler or have him home all day to ourselves. I will finally start the first 2 pages in his school scrapbook. The beginning of 14+ more years of school to capture in pictures, mementos, and journaling.

We were proud to watch him at his Spring Sing where his class and the other 3's class showcased a variety of songs they learned this year.

 Why, oh why id it take me so loooong to read the Hunger Games! Thanks to my brother for letting me borrow his Kindle to read them all in 3 days. I am officially hooked and dying to see the next movie. Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games...I need a new book series to read as good as these; any suggestions???
