Did you have a nice Mother's Day?!

I sure did!  I had all my kids together, and that is a great start to any day!  Not only that, they cooked dinner for me (Hawaiian...and I even wore a lei!)

My sweet youngest daughters (the twins) posted the following on my Facebook page.  Not to toot my own horn, because they seem to put me on a higher pedestal than I deserve, but I just wanted to share the sweet messages and the video Kaitlyn posted:
Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing, loving, caring woman I know.  You and Dad raised all five of us to be the kind of people you want us to be.  You have taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to, and I love you so much for that.  You have come to every single one of my track meets, supported me more than anyone else, and picked me up when I've been down.  I love you so much Mama.  I wouldn't be the person I am today without you as my Mommy!  Love, Kaitlyn Happy Mother's Day to the world's most wonderful Mom!  I am so grateful to have someone as amazing as you to look up to in my life.  Thank you for being there for me every day and for your support.  I hope that one day I can be like you.  I love you Mommy!  Love, Kari

I'm a lucky, lucky girl!

Here's a picture of me with all the kids eleven years ago. Seems like yesterday!

Mother's Day Weekend

It was a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Our son graduated, summa cum laude, from Washington State University, and our whole family went, as well as both sets of Grandparents. The weather was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. Lukas received his Bachelor's Degree in English, with minors in Jazz and Humanities. He'll begin his Master's Degree in a few weeks, but in the meantime, we get to have him home with us (happy dance!) He plans to teach high school English, and hopefully, Jazz. Our oldest daughter, Ashley, graduated two years ago, also summa cum laude, with her teaching degree. She teaches middle school. Such a proud, proud Mama I am! A perfect Mother's Day, with my perfectly wonderful family! Hope your day was fabulous too!

On another note, during the month of May, I am trying to get more people to follow my blog! I just don't know how some of these people have several hundred followers! Anyway, I will give away gift certificates for one of my epatterns on Pattern Mart on May 31st to three people who are followers of my blog. Be sure to sign up to be included!

Prim blessings!
