Happy Mother's Day!!!

This post is a little late. I tried to get it done yesterday, as you can see I didn't succeed...Hope you all had a GREAT Mother's Day!!!!!



Here are 3 of the very important Moms in our lives! I had to give up on finding photos of the rest of you tonight! You know who you are and I will find them, so you never know when Sharon, Nada, or Grandma Durham will just randomly be in a post.. We love all of you and appreciate you all more than you will ever imagine!!




Here are some quotes that I wanted to share that I have found...



Oprah Winfrey
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.

Marion C. Garretty
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.

Strickland Gillilan
You may have tangible wealth untold;/Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold./Richer than I you can never be -/I had a mother who read to me.

Jewish Proverb
A mother understands what a child does not say.

Amos Bronson Alcott
Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.

Florida Scott-Maxwell
No matter how old a mother is, she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement.

Honore de Balzac
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Joshua's Birthday

The morning after he got this game in the mail from Aunt Chawnta.





He was pretty excited to get a package in the mail, and he LOVES playing Hungry Hungry Hippos over and over again! Thanks Aunt Chawnta!!








We got him a little cake to have the night of his Birthday. Chocolate is his absolute favorite!









Here he is with some of his friends at preschool on his Birthday.





This is just inside the door to preschool, he loves the murals on the walls.



We went to Runza(his choice) for his Birthday lunch before school. He insisted on wearing a cowboy hat over a stocking hat. Five year old's obliviously have no cares about fashion, it's just whatever seems like fun to him that day.




He really enjoys playing, and climbing on all the equipment there!




We always do pictures in the bubble!




The evening before his Birthday we made cookies for snacks at preschool, here is the finished result. Josh was happy that we had so many!









He was a big help.....



He loves using the mixer, you can see him smiling if you look close enough.




Sifting the flour was fun too!
We had his party the following Sunday. I will try to post that in the next couple days!

Jaislynn on the move in April.....

I was starting to think that Jaislynn was not ever going to crawl. Here is a video of her scooting, rolling and pushing off a toy to get to what she wanted. She started to crawl a little this week. It is exciting, yet I still am not ready for her to be all over the house yet. I need to find the baby gates!

This is the only sad thing about babies, they just grow up too fast!
