I woke up this morning and realized I have so much to be thankful for.
1. Being able to get out of bed(not that I wanted to this morning) but that I at least can. - I would have much rather stayed in bed and pulled the covers over my head. After 2 days of 70-80 degree weather we are back to a high of 43 and rain...since the weather is so cold I am especially thankful for #2
2. Blogging - being able to connect with friends and family peering into their inner thoughts and daily events.
3. That in 3 days it will be May 4 -
THIS will be over.
4. Bruce -6,400+ days of marriage whew, in the worlds terms that impressive.
5. Parker - that he is growing up into a young man and willing to work(most times)
6. Bailey - Her ability to enjoy the simple things in life
7. Hannah - That she is just like her dad, loves being in the great outdoors.
8. Sidney - Her love for animals - and that she can love them at our neighbors and we don't have to necessarily have them at our place.
When the girls and I arrived home Parker and Bruce were arriating the lawn(yes it is still not green because we still have not had Spring. We then planted the flowers in my planters that I wanted for Mother's Day. I love color, it just dresses up the patio.
Sunday morning they brought me breakfast in bed, yummy waffles with strawberries and black berries. Yummy delicious! What a fabulous weekend
.
Look what our class (Beehives) did for our activity last night. Since our focus last month was knowledge the girls decided they wanted to learn how to make these fun cards. It only took us a month to schedule it!? Their advisor is into stamping and making these creations so we spent an evening working on them. So fun. The girlie's had a great time. I love activities when they are all planned and we get to learn something. 
Friday: Track Meet at Senior High. Parker participated in the 800 medely relay - he was the 2nd runner 100 meters. he was just too fast for me to take a photo ( I assure you that he was not too disappointed). Bailey ran the 400, 200 and the 400 relay. Hannah ran in the 800 meter run, 800 medely relay and the 200 and Sidney 800 meter, 800 medley relay and the 200. They had a blast and a sun burn to show for it.
5 minutes for mom is running a contest....heard if from a friend (thanks Katie). It's a mother's day photo contest. Love this photo of Bruce's Mom, The Farmer's Wife. Wish me luck, OK Katie I wish you luck too.
Adam and Eve's newest addition to our family, little Alex. Look at that face, what a sweet baby!
