Mother's Day 2012

This Mother's Day we went to Houston to celebrate and see family.  We drove down through a ton of rain on Friday afternoon/evening.  Once we arrived in Houston we were wiped out!  On Saturday, we went to lunch and did some shopping with Grandma Mike.  That evening, we went to dinner with Aunt Kim, Uncle Jeff, Cooper, Jackson, and Brady.  After dinner we all went back to Grandma Mike's house for some more quality family time.  On Sunday, mom and I went to church and then we picked up Kim and the three of us went to visit Grandma's burial site.  Later that day the Lee's came back to Grandma Mike's house.  Uncle Jeff and Jason played baseball with the kids while Kim, Mom, and I make Grandma's German potato salad, a cake, and fruit salad.  The men grilled brats and hotdogs on the grill after baseball.  We all hung out and had a great time.  I'm so thankful for my mom, my mother-in-law, my sister and sister-in-law for making me an aunt, and for my sweet Lexi who calls me mom.  I love you all!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
