Mother's Day Weekend

Wow!!! What a wonderful, wonderful, and even more wonderful weekend. I am so incredibly blessed and have had the most amazing Mother's Day weekend. I'm not sure this one will ever be topped!
I woke up Friday morning to a sweet note on the counter from my precious husband, along with a gift certificate for a spa day on Saturday. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh. Spa Day. Doesn't it just sound good? I ended up only getting a massage because they were booked for everything else, but I didn't care. It was a hot stone massage and it was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the new "Village Day Spa" in Indian Lake and it was great. It is very, very nice, and I'm not sure I'll ever go anywhere else!
Anyways, Friday night, my dad took my sister and I shopping for Mother's Day and I got lots of clothes for the kids. THANK YOU DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday, I had my massage (aaaaaaahhhhhhh) and Dennis kept the kiddos. He informed me when I got home that Sadie had fed Sawyer his lunch, which I would've given anything to have seen!!!!
Saturday night, Dennis took the kids and went to his mom's for dinner. I went with my mom and sis to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my mom's Mother's Day. It was so much fun! It ended up being a gorgeous night and we got to sit out on the patio and it felt wonderful. It was a far cry from the horrible rainy weather we've had for what seems like YEARS! To make the night even more special, Jeffrey showed up at the end of our dinner w/ Chance and Emma and got down on one knee and proposed to Rachel right there at the restaurant. It was more than precious. I have cold chills again even as I type! It was like being in the movies. Everyone was clapping and stuff. It was awesome. He got down on one knee and said "I know we've been through a lot this past year, but would you please marry us (me, Chance, Emma) again"?????? Sniff, sniff. Be still my heart. What an answered prayer. Thank you God for bringing this family back together. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! And, on a side note, her ring is a SHOW STOPPER! Wow!!! You go boy! Way to do it right this time!!!
Here are a few pictures from the start to finish...




Sunday was an even more special day. Not only was it Mother's Day, but we dedicated Sawyer at church. Dennis got me even more surprises with some precious cards for Mother's Day. He went way overboard like always. He even had the kids "sign" their card to me which was too sweet.




We took up about 3 rows at church because we had so much family there which means more to us than anything. There were 22 babies dedicated, so it was a little bit of madness, but still so special. My heart was definitely swollen while I stood up there with my sweet family. Oh, I am so, so blessed. My sweet little angel boy. He is growing up so fast. He now has his first 2 teeth coming in, he is sleeping SOOOOOOOOO good, and he is changing every day. Dear Lord, where does the time go? Please make it stop, or else, I'm going to have to have at least 10 more children!!!!
After church we went to eat with Dennis' family at the Chop House and it was so much fun. Sadie and Sawyer were amazing. Not a peep out of either of them. Perfect little angels for the whole hour and half that we had to be there. That was definitely a blessing considering it was getting way past naptime. I got some gifts for Mother's Day and some neat things for little Sawyer for his dedication. Thank ya'll so much!!!
They both came home and took great naps too, which topped off my Mother's Day in a wonderful way.
I love my life. Even though some days are extremely tough, challenging, exhausting, etc., I would not trade getting to spend every day with these 2 kids for anything in the world. I love them more than words can say and if it weren't for Sadie and Sawyer, I wouldn't get to celebrate Mother's Day because they are the ones that allow me to be a mommy!!!
And, I can't sign off without mentioning my own mom and my mother-in-law. Two of the best women that God ever made. Two of the best influences in my life and the two women who help me out more than anything. Ya'll make me want to be a better mother and ya'll are such inspirations to me. I love you both so much!!!!!
Oh, and my sweet husband reminded me that the "highlight" of my weekend was that I picked the winner of the golf tournament this weekend in Fantasy Golf! How bout that for a Mother's Day present???? ha ha Go Henrik Stenson!
