Sunday Snapshots: Mother's Day Edition

We had a nice Mother's Day weekend! Yesterday, Blake, Jackson and Claire planned a little celebration and it was very thoughtful and kind. Blake interviewed the kids on video and played it to music....it made me cry! I will treasure it forever! Jackson took me on a walk, while Blake and Claire cooked dinner. Blake gifted me with new tennis shoes and some new running clothes. I am so thankful for Jackson and Claire. I am thankful that God picked me to be their mama! They are my joy, and mean more to me than I could ever begin to put into words.

Today, we celebrated each of our mothers. We went to church with each of our moms, and had lunch with my mom, and went to Blake's moms later in the afternoon. We are both very thankful for our moms. They support us and love our children very much. Happy Mother's Day!

Tellico...Ten Years Later

On April 14, 2014, Blake and I celebrated the 10th anniversary of our engagement!! So, we loaded up our babies and took them to the place where Blake asked me to be his wife. It was so neat telling Jack and Claire the story. Claire was just trying to figure out why she wasn't invited...we had to explain that she wasn't here yet. She couldn't quite wrap her mind around such a concept! We stopped at the hatchery, and a park ranger was feeding the fish....and Jackson and Claire were asked to help her. As you can see, that was lots of fun for them. I can't wait to see what the next ten years hold for our family....Jackson will be 16 and Claire will be 13. Mercy, mercy!!

Suessical the Musical

Last night, we went and watched "Suessical the Musical". The students did absolutely fabulous! Jack and Claire sat still for over an hour and just loved this show.

Johnson Dairy Tour and Cookie Jar Cafe Field Trip

Yesterday, we took a field trip (about 40 minutes from home) to the Johnson Dairy and Cookie Jar Cafe. We learned all about how the milk gets from the cow to the grocery store. Claire's interpretation of this process varied from the farmer's explanation, but we have all had a good laugh about it. And I am not gonna lie, I am pretty sure I was having some flashbacks to some time I spent with my Medela in years 2008, 2010, and part of 2011. We got to go on a hay ride with our field trip group, play outside, and enjoyed a nice lunch at the restaurant. The next time we go, we have to take Blake. He would certainly love this place!
