Mothers Day Weekend 2013

Friday night we went to watch Tori’s Ball game!! The Eurey’s were there so we got to catch up with them!   Elan is 3 months older than Maddox!!  Wow…what a size difference!!

Saturday morning Maddox had a ballgame.  I posted a few pics on the last post of him playing but I took some more and they are too cute not to post more! 

It looks like Maddox started out the game needing to pee.

Baseball ready!!

Hey!  I need a ball out here!!

Sunday we went to early service so that we would have plenty of time to go put flowers on Brenda’s grave.  It was a tough day for Chris…and for me, being at Brenda and Geralds house for the first time since the funeral…really hit me hard.  It has all seemed surreal and I think being at their house it sank in that they are no longer with us.  I miss them.  I know Chris just hurts everyday for them.  My heart hurts for him.  I told him we could skip celebrating Mothers Day this year but being the awesome husband he is…he still made it very special for me….including cooking me a yummy breakfast!!

So blessed to be their Mom!!

Ryder…..slow down with your growing!!!

My precious gifts from Maddox and Ryder!!

It is tradition now for us to get together with the Harrison’s at Joy and Kevin’s house!

I used my zoom lens on this pic.  I was standing in the house….I couldn’t believe how it caught the detail of the dirt.

Papaw’s Buddy!!

Maddox loves playing with his monster trucks!

Maddox is old enough to go outside and play with the big kids now without my constant supervision….it’s so bittersweet.

Joy selling Tiffany on Arbonne!!

 

My precious Mommy!! I love her so much!

Denise…we are so thankful she is doing well after battling breast cancer.

My MawMaw!!  I adore her!  She will be 88 in a few weeks!!

A very blessed weekend.  I am so thankful that God made me a Mother and so thankful he gave me such an amazing Mom and Mawmaw. I also am rejoicing my  MIL is walking streets of gold and thankful that we will be with her again one day.

Emily’s Wedding Weekend

 

It was such a busy but super fun weekend!  One of my dearest friends since sixth grade got married!!! I was so honored to be such a part of her special day!!

The festivities were kicked off Friday at the Bridal Luncheon!!

Emily and Christy

Maids of honor

Friday night we had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

 

The food was soooo good!!! Emily and Brent got engaged at the beach so the décor was beach themed!  It was so pretty.

The boys got to spend the night with Aunt Jay Jay and Unc Kev and we met them at the ball field Saturday morning for Maddox’s tee ball game.  It was absolutely so cold!!  Not your typical NC May day!  Maddox is loving ball more and more and that makes his Daddy very happy!  I am so proud of him and how well he is doing!

 

After the ball game I rushed to the salon to do Emily’s hair! Then rushed home to fix mine.  I thought I was going to have lots of time but it I ended up having no time and had to do a 10 minute side ponytail style.

Brooke, Christy, and me

Emily was a stunning bride!  She looked so beautiful!!

My hot date for the wedding!  Chris shocked me and showed up at the wedding in a new suit!  He was looking oh so fine!!  I was so proud of him because he never buys himself anything….and he did really good picking out his tan suit and a paisley tie!  I LOVE that man!

The sparklers were so pretty as they were coming out!! Such a fun wedding!!  Congratulations Emily and Brent!!

Sunday was another busy day even though the wedding was over.  We went to church, and then

Sweet Hudson’s Birthday Party!  He turned 2 and celebrated with a Wiggles Party!! The boys had a blast!

I think it’s safe to say Maddox enjoyed his cupcake!!

We got him the track hoe and Taylor loved it!!  Too cute!!

Hudson is such a cutie pie….I can’t believe our babies are turning 2!!

Chris went to get gas for me since it was so cold and rainy….this little fellow knocked out in the car!!

And last but not least…the Mother/Daughter banquet at my Mom’s church!!

I loved getting to spend some time with my sweet niece Tori!!

What a busy/fun weekend but today I purposely made myself stay home catch up around the house and rest.  It was a no makeup and no hair fixed kinda day and I have loved it!!
