didn't you know that this is how you are supposed to eat a popsicle? alaina demonstrated today how to correctly eat a popsicle....upside down! evidently the stick tastes better. who knew??

what a great mother's day. a picnic lunch in the backyard with the fam', a little time to read, then playtime in the pool....and a tasty treat. it was just fun watching the girls play together outside. kylee really enjoyed splashing around in the pool, while alaina amusingly watched. smart on her part....the water was flippin' cold. aside from the pool, riding in the car up and down the hill was most entertaining. i can't tell you how many times kylee pushed alaina up and down that darn hill. they had a blast. and i had a blast watching. thank you girls for making this day so special. really, this day should be more about you. you girls are the reason i am a mother.

i know that there are many days when you don't think that i am so great...when i'm impatient, easily frustrated or just plain grouchy. but know this....i love you girls so incredibly much. i really believe that you were one of the reason's i was created (though i don't always feel worthy or adequate to do the job properly.) i am grateful for the opportunity to love you every day, to show you, to teach you, but even more....to learn from you. i love you so much. thank you for making this day and everyday so special.

and for my mom, my step mom and mother-in-law, this day is for you....to honor you and to tell you how much i love you. thank you for all the years of your love. some not as long as others, but time doesn't matter. you are all so special to me. i love you very much. happy mother's day!
