Happy Mothers Day!!!

     Hello everyone!  As you know, Sunday was mothers day.  Of course we will tell you what we did for Mothers Day, but first we want to tell you about our mom. We were not really sure how to write this, so here is 10 of our favorite things concerning our mom.

1. She makes the best food ever.  One of our favorite things is to cook together.  Clean up is a different story... :)
2. She is very creative.  When we do school, she is always thinking of funny songs, poems, and crafts to help us remember.
3. She is strong.  Even during our hardest times, Mom always stays strong.
4. She makes us laugh... really hard. :)
5. She is very talented.  She is a pianist, and an incredible writer.  Some of our favorite stories are the ones that came from our mom.
6. She is a teacher.  She works so hard to make learning fun. She comes up with the funniest things!
7. She is hospitable.  She is always doing something for someone.  And, she always keeps a pitcher of ice tea in the refrigerator. :)
8. She is a wonderful gardener.  Our garden stays well cared for under her touch and Gods  mercy!                                
9. She keeps us safe.  From the world and from ourselves.  God gave her a gift for wisdom.
10. Last but not least, she loves us with all her heart. And we love you Mom, forever and always!

     On Mothers Day, we went to go visit our Grandma.  The first thing we did that day was go to my grandma's church to listen to a children's choir.  The next thing we did was go to 'The Country Bounty Resteraunt' for lunch. We had been saving up so we could treat everyone with lunch. Grandma and Mom both split a steak, potato and salad. We split chicken fried steak, french fries (who can resist them?), and a salad. All together lunch was actually pretty well priced... since we all split, of course. :) Sophia gave her gift to grandma, and Moms card.  Our mom accidentally left her Mothers Day card in menu before she opened it... but thankfully we were able to recover it. :) We apologize for not having pictures of grandma's gift, but we can tell you that it was a summer scarf. :)  Sophia's present for Mom wasn't finished yet... so she promised to give it to her as soon as it was finished.  Hannah had plans for her gift later. ;)

This is Grandma and us at the restaurant.  Mom was taking the picture so she couldn't be in it.  Sophia couldn't seem to pose that day... She was also trying to lean in... It didn't work out to well.  :)
Sorry about the lighting. Unfortunatly its the only picture we have!

So, sadly, we forgot to take pictures of our mom that day, so we looked through my moms photos, and found this one.  It is one of our favorites.  We figured, since it was mothers day, she would get to pick out the picture. Our mom is in the middle.



      Then we explored my grandma's town a little bit.  We looked at all of the areas in town that we had never been to before. We saw dear, and  lots of squirrels  Then, to honor our family tradition, we went to a garden nursery.  Mom was tickled pink!  Our dad had always taken us to garden nusery for mothers day, and given my mom $100.00 to spend on her garden.  We didnt have that much to spend... but we did get her some flowers! Well, later that day we went home and gave them both foot massages.  That is when Hannah gave our grandma her gift.  It was all

natural goat milk soap.  It feels so good on your skin!  And it's also really good for you.   Believe it or not, until that day my grandma had NEVER had a foot massage before!  She told us that it was because her feet are to ticklish. Around 4:30 pm we started the four hour drive home, and arrived home at about 7 or 8:00pm

     To end our post, we want to say thank you to all moms, for your tolerance,

 support, and tender loving care. :-D
