Mother's Day weekend

We had a wonderful weekend, full of warm weather, busy schedules and celebrating the mother's in our lives.

Elizabeth is growing so fast!  She is getting fat rolls around her knees and elbows.  She is smiling all the time now, and it's so cute!  She loves to be outside enjoying the warm sunshine.

It's finally warm enough to start going for walks with Lizzie.  She laid in her stroller and went right to sleep.  Unlike Spike who has  endless requests for snacks, water and his blankie while I am trying get some exercise!  He sure makes life entertaining! 
The other day Danny asked him if he was a dog or a boy, and he said "I am a fake dog!" 

Emily spends all of her free time with her friends!  This day they were pretending to be cats, they had makeup and were playing in the backyard in the tent.  She is getting really good on her new two wheeler bike!   It's a little big for her so she is a little scared, but once she's pedaling she does great! 

Taylor was busy with soccer this weekend.  He had a double header on Saturday and scored 2 goals.  His team is doing really well, they have all made a lot of progress.  He is really into reading Harry Potter right now.  He stays up late and wakes us early to read.  I am happy he loves reading, but wish he would get more sleep, he gets really grouchy!

Danny gave me my Mother's Day gift by building our garden boxes.  He made the boxes, filled them with a yard of top soil and then we planted all sorts of yummy vegetables.  We haven't had a garden for two years now, so we are excited for our little garden. 

Then we had a fabulous Sunday celebrating Mother's Day.  We feel so blessed to have mother's and grandmother who are wonderful examples for our family.  I am so grateful to be a mother to four beautiful children.  I love being a mom, and wouldn't trade my job for the world!

We love all the mother's in our lives!

See how much Taylor hates pictures, he wouldn't even get near the chair for fear of being in a picture! 

We had a yummy dinner and delicious lemon icecream at G&G Shields.  Whenever we see cousin Alison it is the perfect time for a photo shoot.  This little outfit was so adorable on Lizzie, she looked all grown up.

The kids and Danny pampered me with breakfast in bed, gifts from school, doing all the dishes etc.., and giving lots of hugs & kisses! 
It was a great weekend!  Hope yours was good too!
