mother's day weekend

Lexi spent the night at Mimi and Paw Paw's on Saturday night.  Jason and I went to eat sushi and then came back to the hotel apartment and had wine by the pool.  It was so relaxing and no one was out there!  When we came home we rented a movie and then practiced our country dancing in the living room.  :)

On Sunday, Mimi brought Lexi home and our cousin Lindsey came over too.  We had a light lunch and chatted a ton!  After everyone left Lexi and Jason gave me my Mother's Day gifts.  I received two very sweet cards and Anthro clothes!  I loved all of the clothes, but I needed to exchange the pants for a smaller size and the dress they gave me was cute, just not very flattering on me.  When Lexi talked to Grandma Mike on the phone, she told her they got me some clothes, but I am taking them back because they weren't really comfortable!  We all headed to Anthropologie (my happy place) and I exchanged the clothes.  After Anthro we sat on the patio at Mellow Mushroom and had a delicious dinner. 

I am so incredibly blessed to be the mother of Alexi.  She lights up my world.  She is so spunky and passionate about everything.  Sometimes I truly feel my heart is about to burst out of my chest with love for her.  Thank you, God for choosing me to be her mom.  I cannot express my gratitude for this precious gift. 

We are also so incredibly blessed to have our mothers.  Rose Ann raised the most sincere, genuine, nurturing, and loving man.  My mom taught me how to love unconditionally.  I'm so blessed to be a daughter, daughter-in-law, and to have a daughter of my own.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
