Mother's Day Festivities

For the past 3 years, the Army has managed to separate Chad and me for my birthday and Mother's Day. I'm pretty used to celebrating events on a different days, so this year was no different.

My Aunt Sue gives a Mother's Day brunch each year and I was so glad I was in town to be able to go this year!

Mya and Adrian had the best time just looking at each other!

On Mother's Day we went to church with my Ma-maw and then back to her house for lunch.
My parents, my brother's family with me and my girls. Missed you Chad!


Its so crazy to me that I'm a Mom! I never dreamed of being a Mom, but now I couldn't imagine doing anything else!! My girls are so precious to me! They challenge me, make me laugh, bring joy to my heart and make me a better person everyday! I love them so much!!
