Mother's Day is a GOOD Day!

So blessed to be the mom to these sweet kids.  Loved spending the day with them.  Can't explain how lucky I feel to be their mom.  It was what I was meant to do with my life.  Love all my hand written cards from the kids.


 Jacob made a book for me in school, they had a presentation on Friday where they selected a piece to read in front of everyone.  It is filled with lots of wonderful stuff that is no doubt the best book I have ever received!





Spent the day playing outside and swimming.  Jacob found a few frogs that he and Annie loved holding, while Gwyn and I would scream if they brought them too close!

 Gwyn's pic of me:)
 Can't get enough of this little girl!  Their 6U team made it to the championship, which is next Saturday.  I've decided to teach her every softball cheer/chant I know, so the other team won't know what hit them!
 How cute is this girl?
 We dropped by Gwyn's lunch to take her McDonald's after Annie's gymnastics, a special treat for my special girl!
 I love Gwyn's sentences.
 She had to draw the life cycle of a butterfly:)
 Yes, I'm that mom, bragging about the 6 page math test that Jacob was the only one who made a 100 on!
 Jacob's artwork, a bit creepy!


 I had Muffins with Moms at Annie's school.  We had to swipe chocolate chip muffins from another table:)
 What a good sister, cheering for her brother's team who is still hanging on in his baseball playoffs and play again tomorrow night!
 My sweet Annie had a pretty bad strawberry that she's milking for all it is worth!
 Swim team has started!
 We took the girls to see the ballet Sleeping Beauty...both of mine fell asleep!

 Gwyn's Girl Scout troop end of year party, so fun!

Trip trip to Kansas City...Annie as a Flower Girl!

We had a very quick, but fun trip to Kansas City for Brian's cousin Angie's wedding.  Annie was a flower girl, and Jacob and Gwyn had the job of guest book...a job that Gwyn was great at, but one that Jacob was not so great at, ha!  Sweet kids were sick of me taking their pictures!


Annie with Brian's cousin Brooke, Angie's sister, the Maid of Honor:
My three little pumpkins:

The twins had a rough trip as each had been sick, poor Stacy and Justin had their hands full, this was the only pic I got of the five of them.  My kiddos were so excited to see them:
After pictures and before the wedding, we got a ride in the limo...Jacob was one cool cat:
G came along for the ride:
Annie met a new friend named Sadie, so sweet:
Me and Annie at the reception:
Pre-dancing pic:
Brian got to dance with all his girls, the pics didn't come out great because of the lighting.  All the kids danced the night away, Jacob danced with me, but he wasn't having any of that slow "adult" dancing as he called it, it was the dinner-making-dancing-in-the-kitchen kind of moves we were doing!
Waiting to catch the bouquet:

These girls love their Daddy!
Gwyn with Angie:


Annie was enjoying her day in the sun:
I had to dig to find these gems from Stacy's wedding where Gwyn was a flower girl, not quite 2 and Jacob was 3:



Annie getting ready for the wedding:
Annie's favorite part?  The plane ride, if you can see from her tray, she's got two drinks, teddy grahams, pretzels, peanuts and a cookie...she was in heaven!
My little Piranha at her last swim lesson, how cute is that swim cap!

Jacob's baseball pic, he's still trying to figure out how to smile with those two big front teeth!
Sue monogrammed these cute shirts for Gwyn, she's worn them all week!


Jacob got the game ball the other night, their last regular season game.  He starts playoffs next week.  Softball and baseball is winding down, Gwyn's last regular season game was last night and she got a home run...she was super stoked!
Here is a video of a triple:


Lastly, Brian is busy at work installing his 3 1/2 year project in the Gulf of Mexico for Chevron.  He just broke their company history with an installation over 6,900 ft deep in the ocean this week.  He's the Project Manager on the project and pretty much rocking' it!  Keep up the good work:)
