Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well here it is that time of year again when we get to thank our mom's. It also makes us think a lot about what mom's have done for us throughout our lives. So thanks moms! We had our good friends Andy and Allison over last evening and they brought their 1 year old son Parker with them. He is a great kid and seems happy most of the time but he definitely needs a lot of attention and has a bundle of energy. He ran all over our kitchen last night and I think he enjoyed himself immensely. He kind of made me think of all the time our mothers spent with us and taught and took care of us when we were that little. Also I can't imagine that either Laura or I were nearly as good as Parker, so may I say sorry for many many years ago and thanks again for giving us both such a wonderful childhood.

Sometimes moms need to sit at lakes with their moms and their daughters. (And sometimes apparently they need to try and pick up imaginary objects from behind picnic tables while sitting with their moms and daughters). But so much of moms times goes into getting us ready to go to lakes. And to bring cakes(or mousses). And to make sure we bring everything important and don't forget our bathing suits. And for this, lakes thank you too mom!





And sometimes moms get to spend time with their parents and brothers and sisters and sons and daughters and their childrens children. And this makes us all happy. And looking at this picture makes me thankful for all of the mothers in our families and for the wonderful lives and opportunities we have all beeen given due to your hard work.







And Xmas makes moms smile.

But sometimes it makes moms put on snowsuits too!

And sometimes moms and the correct children get mismatched for awhile, but this motherly handling can only be good for these little ones. It was good for the ones that have already grown.

And sometimes our dads get to spend time with their moms too! Thank you Memere for giving us my dad.

And sometimes moms go to weddings with daughters and stand in front of flowers that suit them both well.

Still amazes to think of all of the time and effort gone into raising the little ones to be what we all are today. Thanks moms both new and original and thanks for making redheads that love bulldogs!

And sometimes our dads moms go to weddings too. Thanks again for all of the years and years of mothering that has gone into both of our families.

Well I cannot say enough to all of the moms in our life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

oops! and sometimes you click on a picture and can't figure out how to take it off a blog page even though its kind of a silly picture and its mothers day and all and i probably shouldn't put silly pictures of mom on the blog on mothers day, but it was an accident. really.

and thanks for loving us through accidents too. be it scraped knees, broken windows, general disobedience or mistaken pictures on blog pages. we love you!
