mother's day 2012

My heart was very fulfilled this Mother's Day.  I felt overwhelming emotion today as we sat in church and sang praise songs.  It brought tears to my eyes.  How lucky am I?  What have I done to deserve this amazing family?  I have made plenty of mistakes in my life and they have taught me to be a better person.  I truly feel blessed.

Kaylea made me some Mother's Day presents at school and she was excited to give them to me. I am so glad that she loves giving.  Jordy had her give me some flowers and tell me Happy Mother's Day.  My mom was here early in the weekend so Jordy & I went out to dinner and afterward he bought me a new camera.  I have been wanting a small camera that I can carry in my purse.  We had a small one, but it took awhile to start and it didn't take very fast pictures.  Now I have one.  I told him I really didn't need anything, but he really wanted to get me one.

We celebrated today with Cinnabons for breakfast, checking out a new church in Lafayette, some playtime with Kaylea, a nap for this mama, getting my nails done, and dinner with my family at Logan's.  Kaylea must have told me Happy Mother's Day 10 times today!  She also told me that I am her favorite friend.  Did I mention she slept until 9:15 today?  We are now kicking back watching Survivor.
