Mother's Day '09




As promised, here is a summary of my wonderful Mother's Day...

I had made Bubble Bread, my favorite breakfast. A breakfast I never make because it makes so much & I'm really the only one that eats it. In fact, I usually ask my Mom to make it when we visit her...but I was craving it and decided it would be the perfect way to start off my Mother's Day festivities. I was right...it hit the spot!

After breakfast, Cory had scheduled me for an hour and a half massage. He made sure to get just the right masseuse for me...and he did. For an hour and a half I was relaxed! The massage was just right...it worked out my kinks, sore spots, etc...and I got to enjoy more than just a minute or two of silence all to myself. It was glorious!

After my massage, I was given instructions to drive to Arbor Hills Nature Reserve in Plano. This is a wonderful place. There are all sorts of trails, picnic areas, and a great park for the kids. Here Cory surprised me with a picnic lunch from Pei Wei (one of my favorites!) and not only were my 3 wonderful men there...but he brought Diva too! It was so much fun. I don't think I've ever gotten to enjoy the whole day with all 3 of my children and it was perfect. We spent several hours there...walking along the paths, taking pictures, & playing at the park. After that it was time to go home...some of us were in dire need of a nap! I walk in the door to find a gorgeous orchid on the counter. I have always admired them, but have always heard they are hard to care for. Well, it's my time to learn, because I now have one to gawk at daily...and I'm not going to let my green thumb (or lack there of) destroy this beautiful plant - I'm determined! I helped get the kiddos to bed and then I got to take a nap too! What more could a girl...or Mom ask for?! Sleep is always such a great gift! Cory ended up cooking dinner for all of us too...so this Mommy really didn't have to worry about ANYTHING all day! It was marvelous!

Thank you to my thoughtful husband and my 3 adorable children for making my day such a special one. You guys are my life and it would be nothing without the joy you bring to me on a daily basis. It is my privilege to be your wife & mommy!
