Mother’s Day

May 18, 2018

After a fantastic Saturday, it was Mother’s Day on Sunday! Maxwell brought me breakfast in bed and then they pulled off a hilarious surprise with the help of Mrs. Susan…

Ha! My little Daisy Duke!

We then went over to surprise Mrs. Susan in our pjs! She’s as much mother to these kids as anyone so it was only right to show her some extra love that day!  🙂

After that it was down to Montgomery for lunch with the family.

The boys were looking sharp and Samantha was the cutest thing around with her pigtails!! I sure am one lucky momma!

Sweet baby girl was worn out from all the fun…

A great day for all! Happy weekend!

Just like riding a bike…

May 17, 2018

Last weekend sure was nice with beautiful weather. Robert finally got home from traveling all week and everyone was very glad to have him home…

We had a nice dinner at The Club and enjoyed the view!

Spencer had decided he wanted to learn to ride a bike and so Maxwell reluctantly agreed to learn too. On Saturday we got the bike out and raised the seat and then Maxwell sat on it and just started riding around the driveway! Just like that! He was a pro on his very first try. I guess that’s what happens when you wait until 7.5 to learn to ride!

We then went down to the parking lot to get some practice in for Spencer…

He and Robert gave it a good run…

but Spence wasn’t quite ready to take off on his own yet. I think another couple weeks on the balance bike and he’ll be cruising! While Spencer practiced, these two monkeys had fun on the playground.

After all that hard work and play, I decided we needed some ice cream!

Doesn’t get better than that on a pretty weekend!

Mother’s Day Treats

May 14, 2018

My three made all kinds of cute treats for me this Mother’s Day!

Maxwell made me the prettiest bunch of flowers ever, wrote a nice little note, and drew my portrait!

Ha! that picture seemed fitting because I think we somehow end up at Target every single time we’re with GJ! Isn’t that what grandmothers are for? Toys at Target? 🙂

This one is a little cuter…

How did we get so lucky? Happy Mother’s Day to our 3 very favorites!!! We love you!

Spectators

May 9, 2018

Of course, I have to recognize the very best spectators of the baseball season! Spencer and Samantha were troopers going to all of Maxwell’s games and, often, practices too. Maxwell was a good helper at all of Spencer’s games.

They were there in good weather…

and bad!

Thankfully they had some friends to play with at many of the games.

Spencer loved to go “climb the mountain” at Maxwell’s games and did that just about every week. He rarely actually watched Maxwell’s game! Samantha wanted to climb the  mountain as well but after I had to go get her off the mountain once, I told her you had to be 5 years old to climb the mountain from now on! ha! After that she tended to hang with me in the stands and play with any toys that she brought.

Of course, I think they mostly liked going to Maxwell’s games because they knew they’d get an Icee! Whatever it takes!

As crazy as it was, I’m going to miss these days at the ball park this summer!

Pretty sure they’re just going to miss the Icees!  🙂
