Mother's Day Weekend

For Mother's Day Kim brought Jack and Haylee down for the weekend. We treated my mom and ourselves to Pedicures, and mom a Pedi AND a Mani! I also volunteered to cook Sunday dinner for my mom. I don't cook much, so I needed a good excuse to do it! I made ham loaf, potatoes Au gratin, strawberry spinach salad and crescent rolls. Thankfully Kim was here to help me out in the kitchen! I'd probably be lost without her. Kim made angle food cake for dessert, topped with strawberries and whip cream. Um, yum! Grandma also came over for the partay.

At the table, we shared what we really appreciate about Mom. First of all, she sacrifices so much of herself for us, and she does it selflessly. She raised 3 kids, which is a huge task, especially when your husband is gone 24/7 in the spring coaching baseball. She raised us in a home where God was the focus and foundation of our family. She prays for us everyday, and encourages us in all of our endeavors. She is such a moral support and just a great example of a woman of God. Mother's day has been particularly special the last 3 years because 3 years ago, Mom had a cancerous brain tumor and I wasn't sure she would still be with us. But by God's grace she is, and I'm so thankful for that. I don't know what I would do without my Mom. Mom, I love you so much! Thanks for loving me more. Before I choke up, here are some pictures!

I'm a little shell shocked from all the cooking!

Thank goodness my sis was here to help me!

All the food! It was actually really fun to make.

Happy Mother's Day!
