Happy Mother's Day!

What a weekend! We had such a fun Mother's Day at Popo & Moma Jo's spending the day outside. The only thing that would have made the weekend better would be if Kelly, Ryan & Abbott could have been here. I will get to see them this week so that will make up for that! We enjoyed the farmer's market on Saturday morning and then a lazy afternoon and then today was great just being outside. Jack made sure he got a good night's sleep last night because he & Popo "had a lot of work to do in the yard." I hope everyone's Mother's Day was as happy as ours. Here it is in pictures.

He asked to hold his sister. Isn't this sweet? She just stares at him and even smiles a little when he talks to her.

This morning Jarred fed her and she fell back asleep when he was just holding her and looking at her. She was pretty much out.
Jarred tried to get her in a more comfortable position. I'm not sure she's comfy, she's having trouble staying asleep.

Popo & Moma Jo have a few wild strawberries growing in their flower bed. Jack helped pick them and then ate all of them, even though they had no taste and we had nice huge juicy strawberries we got at the farmers market.

He was very proud of his baby strawberries and thought they were delicious.


After picking the strawberries, he needed to rest.

I think I'm a pretty lucky mom!

Mom instructed us (me & Kelly) not to get her anything for Mother's Day. Dad said she didn't tell him not to get her anything so he surprised her with a necklace.

Jacey enjoyed her time outside, too.

Being goofy with "grape cheeks".

Jack told Moma Jo & Popo that this tree looked a little sad. This is his interpretation of the sad tree.

Sometimes, he's just the sweetest boy.

Being silly with Popo.

Jacey just snoozed the day away.

What is more precious than this?

We enjoyed a great game of horseshoes.

Even Jack had a few ringers.

My form is excellent, the stakes are just too far away.

Mom has excellent form, too.

I will tell a funny story on myself. Dad made a pound cake. I asked Jack if he was ready for cake and cantaloupe and strawberries. Then I said, "cake, cantaloupe and strawberries, the 3 c's..... even though one starts with s." We had a good laugh over it.

Jacey opened her eyes for a bit and snuggled with Popo.

They sure do love their Popo!

My mom is the best! I'm glad I got to spend the day with her.

You can see the tip of Jack's head here. She is just staring at him while he's talking to her.
I hope all you moms had a great Mother's Day, too!

Yes, it looks as if you are a VERY lucky
mom. What a precious family. And I think this little girl looks a lot like her mother and grandmother.

looks like ya'll had a great day! I'm jealous! it was really cold here today. :( How's your horeshoe game? We haven't played that in forever! Maybe it's because I'm terrible so I try to avoid it! Either way its fun though. :) Glad you enjoyed your first mother's day as a mama of 2!
