Happy Mom's Day!


I woke up this morning to happy children and the sun kind of shining. I used to not love mother's day but the past few years, Ryan and the kids have made a huge effort to do everything for me that I love on this day. Of course, the day was started off with presents. The kids(and me) couldn't wait. Scoutty got me some hand sanitizer...but not just any hand sanitizer. On the front of the bottles, it says...One Hot Mama, I love you Mom and Mom Rocks. They are awesome. Keegan gave me a frog for my flower garden to always remind me of him. I love it. Tatum gave me a bath and body gift basket that had a lady bug clip on it.....when she was little, she got a lady bug outfit and that started us calling her Tateybugs. So, I wore my bug clip to church today! Ryan wanted to give me happiness for mother's day....he came up short and just gave me happy......as in Clinique Happy. It's my favorite and extra treat for me....it's Clinique bonus days so I got that too! Keegan made me the cutest card and the funnest treasure hunt.....what was the treasure??? I made it all the way down to his room, following all of his clues and my treasure was......wait for it..........a massive huge hug! What a kid. Here is the card he made me....

RECIPE FOR MOM

10 parts beautiful
9 parts Oilers fan
8 parts smart
7 parts great at baking
6 parts kind
5 parts sweet
4 parts irish
3 parts good at sports
2 parts fun
1 part young
0 parts Flames Fan(that one cracked me up)

Mix it all together with money. Stir it with a kiss. Sprinkle with diamonds. Place in my heart with hugs. Bake with lilies and serve with butterflies. What do you get? MOM

That melted my heart!

I'm so happy to be a mom. Most days its a challenge but days like today roll around and I'm grateful again for the blessings that I call Tates, Keegs and DingDong.
