The BEST Birthday~Mother's Day EVER!

It all started off with these two sweet daughter's of mine coming home to visit!! I knew I'd missed them, but didn't realize just how much...till they were here again!! They are so FUN! Always making each other laugh, smile...and just a kick to be around!! They indulged me, and we played games everyday, till the wee hours of the morning! I loved that!

Then...Tanner boy got baptized on my birthday...pretty special day I'd say!! It was fun to share the day, and have 2 reasons to celebrate!! He was SO happy to be 8 and get baptized! And especially happy that his Sisters could be here too!!
Dad baptized and confirmed him, Kaylee gave a talk on baptism, I gave one on the Holy Ghost, Jaycee gave the opening prayer, and Shaylin was our pianist!! Such a sweet spirit there!! Lots of good friends came, which made it wonderful for us all!!


Next...we GOT all FIRED UP for the BBQ and games at our house to celebrate even more!! I absolutely love having get togethers and enjoying the deck and our backyard! Kevin had been doing yardwork all week, to make sure the yard looked nice, and it DID! Kaylee and I tinkered in the kitchen most of the morning making various things to eat that day, and it all worked out wonderful!! Shaylin and I ran to the nursery and bought some flowers to plant in my pots from last year...which made me SO happy!! We had a marvelous day!! And of course games into the night!!! YAY
We played croquet on Sunday after Church and before the girls had to go home...(this is where I would insert the frowny face!) The weekend was beautiful, so we really enjoyed being outside....especially on Mother's Day!!
Nice of Kevin to snap some photo's for us!

Darin had to work all weekend, but luckily stopped by to visit!! I love being a MOM!


Shaylin made me this ADORABLE explosion box for Mother's Day....and KNEW I would cherish it!! So cute and beautiful colors...glad she is creating once again!! Kaylee bought me lots of jewelry...dear girls, and they picked me out an adorable purse and wallet and helped Kevin with his shopping!! I was SPOILED rotten!! Such a fabulous Family I have, and what would I do without all the friends I CHERISH?! I feel loved!!

Jaycee givin' Shyn a piggy back across the street! We were having a photo shoot on the tracks!Hope all the Mom's had a great day as well!!
