Mothers Day 2013

I had to work the night before Mothers Day. When I got home in the morning I was greeted by these three faces screaming "Happy Mother's Day!". It was so nice to walk into the house and experience that!

Mr. Wonderful then walked me to the kitchen table, to this display. It was Roses picked from my Garden,

pictures made by the kids,

A card made by the husband

(with a sweet message),

and a gift!

I love the heart pendant.

Engraved on the side it states: You are Loved!!!

I then took a nice nap. Mr. Wonderful took the kids to his Mom's for church and lunch. When they returned we got ready to go over my Mom's for dinner. We showered her with flowers and a gift.

It was such a nice Mother's Day& I felt special. 

 I feel special everyday to Mother my kids. 

I feel special when I hear the word "Mommy!" screamed from across the house. I feel special when the Boy puts his head on my lap to rest. I feel special when the Girl tells me she wants me to hug her. I feel special when the Boy prefers me to put him to bed. I feel special when the Girl tells me to sit on the couch with her. I feel special to be a Mother who knows she is loved!!!

My 2 Super Heroes

It was not until I went to Junior High that I realized that my Daddy was not a real Super Hero. That just how amazing this little Girl thought her Daddy was in life. I thought that there was nothing to hard for him to fix or do in life.

(That's me in the lower right, at the age of 2 with my older Sis and my 1st Super Hero)

On this day I realize that he is still a super hero. He is totally a super Man & Dad. My Daddy played a strong role in the choice of my husband. I saw similarities in my husband before we were married. Their two hearts to love & serve people,  family, and God resembles each other. At times I still tell my husband that he reminds me of my Daddy.

On this day I want to say thank you Daddy! You set the super bar high. You helped me choose a Hero  for my kids!

Happy Fathers Day to my 2 Super Heroes!

I sent my Super Daddy's gift through the mail to Texas!

This is what I will be presenting to my Super Baby Daddy(when he wakes up,letting him sleep in this morning):

Father's Day as a Daddy of 2 now!

This was the very beginning of Wes' Day! The next pictures tells the story of the rest of our day!

Happy Father's Day to the love of my life. You are as wonderful as a father as you are a husband. I hope you enjoyed your day because we enjoyed you today and everyday of the year!

Knowing your Mother's Love Language!

While planning Mother's Day Gifts for our Mom's Wes had brought this book to my recollection. I was sharing with him that I knew it would make his Mom's Mothers Day if she just had time with her kids and it would make my Mom's Mother Day if she received a nice gift from her children. This is when Wes stated that this was because they had their own individual Love Languages. After coming to this great epiphany we were able to make both of our Mother's happy on Mother's Day! We made it a point to spend time with Donna(Wes's Mom) and give her flowers along with a card. For my Mother we teamed up with the rest of my siblings and gave her a wonderful gift she could open up and use!

I love The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman!

The subtitle of this book is "How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate" (and Gary Chapman has written other books for kids and teens as well as mates). But the love languages are for any relationship.

I think that they are so important to learn about. They're vital, really.

Why?

Well, basically, what the book says is that we all hear or feel or experience love in different ways.

Makes sense since we're all unique!

Chapman explains that there are five different ways that people hear love:

1. Words of Affirmation
2. Gifts
3. Physical Touch
4. Acts of Service
5. Quality Time

Can you imagine how your relationships might be enhanced or improved if you took the time to discover the other person's love language and then communicated love in that way to that person?

And . . . can you imagine how you might feel if someone took the time to find out your primary love language and spoke that language of love to you?

So, that's why I think learning the love languages is vital for all relationships. I think that they can make a huge difference in how we all feel. If everyone feels more loved because they're actually, finally hearing that love, then the world will be a better place, in my opinion, and I highly recommend The Five Love Languages. What a perfect gift it makes too!


My husband has found that my love language on special occasion is Words of Affirmation and Acts of Service. Hopefully he will pass the memo onto JJ and JoJo one day! On this Mother's Day Wes gave me a beautiful card with words of affirmation along with flowers(picture of the flowers are at the beginning of this blog). He also went to Mimi's cafe and got my favorite breakfast for me! Which is an egg white omelet, potatoes, and a low fat blueberry muffin. Last but not least,Wes also took care of JJ the whole day from getting him up, preparing his meals, playing with him, and putting him down. It worked out perfect because I was and I still am having contractions on and off.


Thank you also to my Beautiful Sister In-law and Brother In-law for affirming me on Mother's Day with their words, presence, and flowers!

JJ's first Father's Day with Daddy

It has been nothing but a pleasure to see how Wes walks in the shoes of a Father. I told him yesterday I feel as if he has read many Fathering books before JJ was born. I say this because he is so natural at being a Daddy. Besides loving JJ so great he is great at taking care, playing, teaching,training,and most of just having fun with his first born Son. It warms my heart the way these two interact with each other. It is nothing but a gift from God the bond of a Man and his Son...especially this bond that I get to see first hand.

JJ and Momma's 1st Mother's Day together!

The first thing I have to say is Thank you Jesus! I felt so honored and special to hear the words"Happy 1st Mother's Day", receive the phone calls, texts, email, facebook messages, cards, and gifts this Mother's Day. As I laid in the bed on Mother's day morning I was consumed with joy to have the name Mother and really feel what it meant. It has been nothing but a great 9 1/2 months being the Mommy of this precious little boy. I feel like I get a gift everyday from God, every time JJ smiles, laughs, talks, hugs, and touches me. I have decided since I was pregnant to cherish all the special moments that the Lord gives us with our baby. This Mother's Day was no different, I cherished and enjoyed the entire day being a Mommy, to one of the biggest blessings the Lord has given me in my lifetime. Thank you to my Husband and my Best Friend who made it extra special by celebrating me and with me on my 1st Mother's Day.
