Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day we went to Georgia for a double celebration: Elisabeth's graduation from West Geargia and of course Mother's Day. We had a wonderful time and a GREAT meal (thanks Mere and Lee) on Sunday. The best part of the whole day was when I got my Mother's Day gift, a rose bush. The reason why it was so special was becasue I had forgotten that I had mentioned that I wanted one but my wonderful husband remembered! Jillian and Jackson loved helping plant it and they always want to water it for me! Hope all the Mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day gift!

Love them so much!

Jack fell down...

Some background information: Our house is about 80 plus years old and when they added the patio to the back of the house they ran drainage pipes from the down spouts under the patio. They end about five feet off the patio and have created a mud hole in the backyard. Harley (our dog) loves to play in the mud. Today after school we were all hanging out in the backyard and of course Harley was rolling around in the mud. Jackson got a little too close to Harley and the next thing we know Jackson falls into the puddle! Of course he starts screaming so being the wonderful parents we are we immediately comfort him and get him all cleaned up . . . yeah right! We grabbed the camera and took pictures of him in all his misery! Enjoy!

"Right there, Jillian, that's where I fell!"

"Okay Mom, put the camera up and put me in the bath!"
