Mother's Day

I know, I am a little behind on my blogging!!!! This year's Mother's Day was great like always. Maybe it is because I have a GREAT Mom:). Mother's Day happened to fall on my older brother's (Kyle) birthday. So it was a special day for lots of family members.

Kora and Nick are getting married at the Olympia Country & Golf Club this August so they had to buy a year membership there. So far, it has been great to have that. We have been able to enjoy some GREAT food with a view. They also have a pool, so Kora and I will be bathing beauties for most of the summer. On Mother's Day, they had a beautiful brunch set up, which we attended as a family. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day. We were able to celebrate Kimberly and Kyle's birthday (they are weird twins with birthdays on different days) along with Mother's Day. It was great.

Here is a picture of my Mom and Dad with their three grand children. I really do have an amazing Mom, who was able to raise six children, keep a clean house, all of us fed, all of us happy, and make it look easy. When I was little, I would wake up and lay on the couch watching Seasame Street while the older kids got ready for school. She would bring my breakfast in on a tray for me, complete with a little pitcher of milk for my cereal. Once the big kids were off to school (who all had a lunch in hand prepared by her) she would run a bath for me to play in. When I got out of the bath she had my clothes all ready to go, she even put my shoes and socks on me!! Geesh was I a baby, or what?!?!? For lunch she would set up a blanket in the living room with all of my Fisher Price Little People around it and I would play for quit some time. When it was time for Days of Ours Lives to come on, she would bring my lunch in on a tray and we would watch the soaps together:). She was, and is, great!!! Everything she does has a special touch on it.

I only hope that one day I can be half the mom she has been.

Mom, you are amazing. Thank you for everything that you do!!!
