Mother's Day 2016

Mother's Day- such a bittersweet day. On one hand, I miss my Mama so much and Mother's Day is a hard one to bear without her. The day used to be focused around her. But on the other hand, I am the Mama to two of the most amazing gifts from God. How can I possibly be down on a day when they look forward to celebrating ME?! So as much as my heart ached for my Mama on this day, it filled with pride that my 2 angels wanted to spend the day doing anything I wanted to do! And my choice? SHOPPING of course! I was in fact raised by Sherry Johnson, and she taught me well!
I woke up that morning to a sticky note that told me to stay in my bed and not leave my room. HA! So I did just that! And soon this was delivered to me in bed!

Josh was home for a few hours that morning- so he helped them with my breakfast in bed. And it was sooo good!

My sweet girls! I think poor Macie had to be woken up to bring me my breakfast. Poor kid was worn out! They also got me a gift certificate to the spa for the day! Wahoo!! I can't wait to spend it! 

I also love this book Macie made for me at school! 

Notice my "big round earrings- just like I wear all the time!"

Reba?! Yep! She knows me well! 

Glad I'm good at this chore. I do it often. 

Spot. On. That is my biggest pet peeve! And if she is aware of it.... Why does she still do it?!?!?!?! 

I'd go for a necklace. 

Haha! Sorry baby- but Megan Trainor is not my favorite artist. Lol!! 

Too sweet!! And funny. 

After Josh went to work, we lounged around for a bit and eventually got dressed and headed into town.
We stopped by to see Nina and Aunt Kim and tell them Happy Mother's Day! But did I get a picture?? Nope. 

After that we headed to Ft. Worth! We were starving!! I figured since it was already almost 2, that the lines wouldn't be long at Uncle Julio's. WRONG!! Man. I thought people ate at noon on Mother's Day! Nope! So we headed to El Fenix. It wasn't any better. So we opted for the food court at the mall! Subway for Mother's Day lunch it was! At least we didn't have to wait in a line. 

These two were the best lunch dates I could have asked for. 

Then we set out to do some shopping! Aunt Kim have both girls some money to buy me something. They were so excited to pay for my new shorts! Sweet girls! 

And no trip to Ridgmar Mall would be complete without a ride on the animals! Macie insisted that I ride with her... So I did just that! 

On our way out we were thirsty, and noticed that sonic had .99 drinks for Mother's Day so..... Oh yes....I let both kids have their own large Dr. Pepper! 

 

Our next stop was at Target to get Brenna a new book to read during the TAKS test the next day. Both girls were excited to get a new book. And I loved the view on my way home!! 

(Aunt Kim would be proud of her book selection!) 

This girl LOVES to read. 

After we got home, we checked on Josh since he came home with his back hurting at about 2:00. I was sorry he felt bad, but was glad to have him home with us. 

It was a good day. I spent my day with the two gifts that made me a Mom. I am forever thankful for these 2 blessings.
