mother's day

Mother's day was a success for my house. A few days before mother's day my two boys came home from the store with some flowers for me. It's almost always Levi's doing these days. The hibiscus in the bouquet was awesome. Just look at that center!
The scent of these flowers always takes me back to the first few weeks of Levi's life.

Sunday morning we went to church where Nathan handled the Bella girl when she had issues during the sermon. My pastor did some fun things for the mama in the congregation. They had a raffle drawing for some prizes and then they also had several questions to find some moms most deserving of a rose. Who has the most kids, who has multiples, who's the newest mom...etc. I did not win any, but it was cute.
Then after church rather than force our way into an overstuffed restaurant, we grabbed Quiznos and had a picnic in our front yard. It was a really nice and sunny day and it was the hi-light of my mother's day.
Levi got this super fly hat and now I just think every picture I take with him in it is spectacular.




I think he should stick with this style
I like his little straining face peeking through his arms at me.
My suave little man
He and Papa were racing across the yard over and over again.
This rose was blooming in my front yard so Nathan picked it for me. It's gorgeous.



There they are racing while I sit in the sun watching

After her nap princess GBella got to join us in the sunshine. She looks rosey and creamy in this picture...her face takes my attention away from the flower.
I was trying to get a little pose picture under the umbrella but all she could do was stare up at the sun beating on those colors. Still cute.

Me and my babies

LOVE the hat, I've looked at some for Xander, might have to go a head and get one now. Nice mother's day in the yard. Can't wait to kiss Gracie's creamy cheeks.

Great hat. Don't see that very often and on one so young. But very nice.
