Mother's Day 2010

Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's out there.... my Mom, my sister Stacey and all the other Mom's I know.

I hope everyone had a lovely day!!

I had a great day here in Houston with my family!! Slept late which is always a luxury!

John cooked a nice brunch for me today - eggs, sausage and biscuits. It was yummy with my coffee!!

I spent the rest of the day playing on my computer with pictures I took yesterday of Rachel and Kayla. I'll be posting them soon and I happen to like several of them!

All the kids made sent their Mother's Day wishes!! Ariane texted, Laila called and sent a neat card with our pictures on it from the Dallas Cowboy game last Thanksgiving, Rachel made a pretty card, got some yummy chocolate covered strawberries and flowers, and Stephen made a neat card too.

I feel so loved!!

John then made a special dinner meal for us. What did I request?? The same fantastic meal we had last weekend when we visited San Antonio for Perry's wedding shower - Lamb, potatoes, and brussel sprouts and also a pineapple upside down cake. He added a tomato/mushroom salad and homemade rosemary and garlic biscuits. Boy... was it all absolutely wonderful! I've never been a brussel sprouts lover but I tell ya, John cooks them so well that I absolutely love them. It must be the bacon!! :-) The lamb was just cooked perfectly... and the pineapple upside cake was truly probably one of the best I've ever had!!

I'm stuffed!!! and very loved!!

Here are a few pictures of course!!

THIS young man is now 13 years old today!!! YES... I said 13!! Teenager.

Where has the time gone! You can't possibly be 13 years old!! Stephen - I remember very clearly the night you were born at 10:29 pm after a long, long day. Your entry into the world came with fanfare and excitement and every day since has been filled with it as well. You are a wonderfully bright, very creative, happy, loving, kind and caring young man! I love you so very much and am so very, very proud of all that you have accomplished and continue to accomplish each and every day!!
