Day full of Sunshine

Maraya was in charge of the water hose today!

Corey wanted to make sure the life jackets still fit the kids this year. Breckin broke the hose which was ok for them because it made the hose into a sprinkler!!!!

Maraya wouldn't share the hose......

unless she helped too!

We had an extra visitor with us today! My niece Breylee stayed with us while Amy and Dad grocery shopped. We enjoyed having her with us today.

Breylee stayed in the boat with Corey while he cleaned it to get ready for boating season. We will have to have a family party on the Bellevue Beach this summer!

Raya fell asleep at the supper table while eating tonight. I think all the fresh air, cold water and fun at the park did her in!! I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather just as we did!!!
It's amazing how beautiful weather makes everyone happy!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my Mommy friends!

Mother's Day was always a special day for my sister and I to celebrate our day and Mom's day with Mom. This year was different; our first Mother's Day without her. Dad, Amy and her kids, the boys and my family went to visit Mom's grave and deliver our flowers to her. I missed seeing Mom's reaction to her flowers we gave or the presents that the boys, Amy and I came up with. She always glowed on Mother's Day. It was her day to be spoiled by her 6 kids. After I had my kids I got to share my day, too, with her!!! This Mother's Day felt empty without her. I still got to celebrate my day of course with my family but also with Amy, the boys and Dad. It was nice to share our memories of Mom. I missed her smile, hugs, voice and the good conversations we all had with her. I know Mom had a wonderful Mother's Day in heaven and was watching down at us. The best gift is knowing I have my angel Mother looking down at me.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Raya added an extra special flower for Grandma.
