Mother's Day 2012

This year I was so super spoiled by my amazing husband and girlies!  My gifts started coming last weekend when Wes gave me the new Jason Mraz CD.  Then on Thursday,  I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I've ever gotten from Wes!  Friday, I got an Eston's cake.  This is the bakery that made our wedding cake and my thoughtful man brings me strawberries and creme cakes for special occasions.  He told me to take it out to dinner with my mom and sister that night since we "are all awesome mommies".  We were also going shopping and he said I could pick out a new purse.  My mom had asked my sister and I to go shopping so she could get us each a pair of jeans at the Buckle.  We also went to Charming Charlie so I could pick out a purse and we each got a few other accessories.  Then we headed to Granite City Brewery for dinner that Mom also treated us to and she gave us each a certificate for a one hour massage!!! Saturday, I received my favorite gift, a necklace that has the girls names stamped on it, a circle in the middle with the words "love you a bushel and a peck" and two little pearls (their birthstone).  My grandma always sang that song to me and now I sing it to my girls.  Sunday morning I got to sleep in and breakfast in bed.  We went to my grandma's house for a lunch and I had an all around fabulous day.  I felt so very appreciated and loved by my most favorite people in the world.

The Dart Frog Dash

On Saturday the girls participated in their first ever 1K organized race.  It was held at the Toledo Zoo.  Daddy and Aunt Ashley ran the 5K adult race earlier in the morning and then the kiddos (Mya, Stella, Will and Sophie) raced at 9:45.  We had been talking to the girls about this for a while because they have been very interested in Daddy's running.  They were so excited and I was so proud of them for running the whole way!  They did an excellent job!  I forgot to look up at the clock when we crossed the finished line, so I don't know their time but I was pretty impressed with their speed.  I ran with them the whole way.  So proud of you, my little runners!
