To all my Mama friends: Thank you for being a part of this journey. Thank you to those of you who have given me words of wisdom and guided me in my efforts to be the best possible Mom I can be. Thank you to those of you that have shared your "been there, done that" moments with me. Thank you to those of you who have provided a get away, whether it was a Mom's Night Out, or a simple phone call when I needed a break from my mommy duties. Thank you for your support, that has always come without judgement. I have learned something from all of you and am thankful to be surrounded by some amazing Mama's. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
And now for the fun stuff. I hope someday I will be lucky enough to receive a card like this from Hunter.
In the meantime, I must share a few of my Mother's Day gifts with all of you. Yesterday, Wes took the kids fishing while I went shopping. It was great to be able to try on clothes without hearing Grace's critiques. I finally found a swimsuit with under wire. At times I felt like I was on search for the Dead Sea Scrolls, but at last Kohl's had one. Exactly one..And the God's shined down on me, and that one sweet swimsuit was in my size!!! Hallelujah! I also got a few Summer dresses, some shorts, a new bra, and some new sunglasses. It was wonderful. Grace also made me a few things at school that I LOVE. The teachers had them draw on these wooden frames, then they used a wood burner to burn the image into the frame. Then, they went back and stained the frame and put a picture of my girl in it. They also had her answer some questions, and her answers are adorable! Take a look for yourself.

Hunter forgot his gift at school but he has informed me that it will be worth the wait. I'm sure it will. I'll be sure to update the blog when I get his gift.This morning Wes and Grace went and picked up donuts for the family. Today will probably be pretty low key. I think we'll try to get together with Wes' parents and give them some gifts we have for them. His dad's birthday was yesterday, so we have gifts for both of them. The weather is gorgeous in Dallas today, so hopefully we can just enjoy each other's company and this beautiful day.

Happy moms' day, my friend! Much love to you. And also- I hate you for finding a swimsuit. I have not yet achieved that goal, and I've only been trying for like 7 years. :-P
That frame from Grace is awesome!
