Mother's Day 2014

My heart was so full Mother's day week.  I felt so honored to be a mother and so proud of the little people I  have made.  Being a mom to Aubrey and Carter is my most favorite job and I feel so blessed that I get to do it.  
My Mother's Day week started off with a mother/daughter tea with the Girl Scouts.  

 It was a very cute afternoon and fun to share it with Aubrey's best friends, Kendall and Advaitaa and their moms who I have become really close with. 



 They asked the girls to decorate their hats.  Check out my crafty daughter:
 She wanted flowers and bees it was her idea to use the pipe cleaner wires.

 The Friday before Mother's day I was spoiled!!! 2 class room parties.  I was so happy that timing worked out so perfectly.  Carter's party 9-11 and Aubrey's started at 11:10 how perfect is that!  Thanks to Murun for taking Carter after the party such a big help!
 Carter made me a frame and then we took our picture together.  I love how he choose this pose.
 Then we took a picture with our best friends. 
 It has been so much fun doing the preschool this year with my best friends, Murun and Susan.  It has helped me having them there when we have to deal with the crazy rules and teachers sometimes.
 The mom's in charge of the party did a great job setting up the room and making us moms feel special.
 We enjoyed a yummy waffle bar and listening to the kids sing for us.
 Then onto Aubrey's school.  My goodness was I impressed! All the moms waited in the front of the school and then we were escorted to the class room, btw only Ms. Stapp's class does this, I felt really special.  Then we came into the room all the kids were lined up so cute.  We got a lemonade and then sat in there desk while they presented a show.  ADORABLE! They must have sang 8 or more songs I got it all on tape and just treasure it.  I was so impressed with how well the kids new the songs, arm movements, dances and just how well they stood still.

 After the show we go to open the gifts they made and then enjoy strawberry pizza together.
 It was nice looking around the class room and seeing all the moms there.  It was very special. 

This is Hector and Aubrey they sit next to each other.  
Aubrey wasn't to thrilled that I took this picture and after whispered in my ear "mom that was awkward!" I love it for the memory.  When school first started she would complain that Hector was always poking her with his spiky hair when he would bend down to get his pencil.  
 I really hope Advaitaa and Aubrey stay close friends they are adorable and in this picture they are living up to their nicknames of purplicious and pinkalicious.
After the party I stayed for lunch and playtime with Aubrey.
 It was beyond wonderful of a day! I cried in the car that afternoon feeling so blessed.  It is so hard watching your babies grow up but it also is amazing and rewarding to see them look at you with so much love and know that as they get older they can express it more.  Aubrey is my little best friend.  I love talking and cuddling with her all the time.  She is just such an amazing daughter with so much love and sassyness.  Carter is my little sweet heart.  He loves always holding on to me and hugging me as tight as he can and giving me lots of kisses.  I'm the luckiest mom in the world.  

Mother's Day weekend I got to spend with my amazing mom!  We decided we needed an afternoon of pampering all together.  It was so much fun spending great quality girl time together.
 Our nails came out beautiful!
After nails we went shopping.  It was a great afternoon.  We than came home to a clean house.  I mean spotless! Spencer did an awesome job cleaning everything.  He also had appetizers out for us and was cooking dinner it was amazing and I felt like royalty.  
On to opening gifts:



 And then dinner time! Spencer made tri-tip sandwiches, potato wadges, green salad and mom and dad brought fruit salad it was amazing.
 The kids also made me really cute plates that I have displayed in the dinning room.  Mother's day is so much fun! I love that I have an amazing mother that has taught me so much and that is always there for me.  I love you mom with all my heart!  I love that I get to be a mom to two great kids that I love making wonderful memories with.  
Happy Mother's day to all the great mother's out there!
