My Mother's Day...

We decided to celebrate Mother's Day with my family and then go spend Sunday with Anthony's family.  We had a lot of fun spending time with my mom and sister. My mom even pulled out her new ultra cool popcorn popper. Anthony totally wants one of these!



It just happened to be my brother's senior prom. He asked me to take a few pictures of him and his date and the rest of their group. 





 Nothing makes you feel older then seeing your baby brother in a tux the night of his senior prom!! 

We had an awesome experience while at my moms. My brother lost his wallet and after frantically searching the whole house, his car, and his friends car, he gave up and went and picked up his date. His wallet had all his money for his date in it so Anthony and I ran to the nearest ATM to get some more cash. While we were gone, my mom gathered all our kids and said a prayer asking for help to find the wallet. After the amens were whispered, Peter simply stated, "We need to look where we haven't already." My mom sent them to search the basement and she began to search the house again, when she remembered having my brother shake out his pants because they had gotten muddy during when they went four wheeling. There, sitting on the patio, was his wallet. What a wonderful experience! 

The next morning I received two beautiful cards from Peter and Andrew, a bracelet from Andrew that he made in preschool, a rose brush from my wonderful husband plus a pair of capris. Overall it was a great day and I'm so proud and glad that I have the opportunity to be a mom!

I totally just threw away our pop-corn popper like that! LOL! the metal wand had scraped away a lot of the teflon like stuff and one of the handles had broken off so it was a pain to flip over...but it made it 7 years!!! Now we're using my MIL's air popper that's probably 30 years old. ROFL!

Fun pictures! Your family is always doing such fun stuff. :)
