Mama's Day...

Wow! Was I ever spoiled this Mother's Day!

I think my husband is still trying to redeem himself after that first Mother's Day. The one where he didn't get me anything...not even a card...No acknowledgement whatsoever...

The one where he told me "You're not my Mother."

Men.

Apparently being the mother of his children doesn't count for much.
Needless to say, he realized his folly. (And surprisingly, I wasn't the one to bring it to his attention either.)

And so....

This Mother's Day I was surprised with a Starbucks card from "Camden".

We also went parking.
Now, now...you guys… not that kind of parking, although that sounds fun, too. No, "parking" is what Camden calls going to the park. He was so excited; he yelled "We're going parking!" the whole way into town.
But we have, shall we say...chickens, for children. Not one of them would swing or slide. Camden stated, "This is crazy!" So they just ran up and down the grassy hill for half an hour, and that was that. (I think they're a bit grass deprived. I can't wait till we get our lawn!)

Then we went to my Mom's for a weenie roast with my whole family. That was sooo much fun! The weenie jokes were flying! My brother had me laughing so hard I cried, my cheeks ached, and I just about peed my pants...more than once. The kids loved it too and we all came home smelling like a camp fire.

Then there was this beautiful post waiting for me when I woke up on Sunday, which you've all seen, of course. I'll never say another word about that first Mother's Day again. Consider yourself redeemed, Lyle. And for the record, I love you more than life itself, also.

THEN, church.

Then, BBQ with my "other Mother". Yummy. Yummy. I'm so glad it's time for summer food again! Lyle watched the kids all day and we played games. I love to do that! We need to do it more often, I think. (Instead of pool!) (;

Thank you, Mom and Connie, for working so hard to make the day special for us, even though you're mother's too! I love you both!

Sorry, no pics! I just enjoyed the weekend without my camera!
