Happy Hump Day!!!

My Mother's Day card from Kason...



Yesterday while we were eating dinner Kason was in the front living room playing...I noticed he got really quite so I decided to go check on him. I figured he was doing something wrong. I was right...he decided to throw the dirt from the pot all over the floor. It's hard to see just how much dirt he threw because it blended with the carpet.

Mother's Day Weekend!!!

I had a great Mother's Day weekend...Kason stayed at his dad's Friday night and I went to eat with my parents and then hung out with Shaun at the house. Saturday I slept in alittle. Why is it when you don't have your child at home you can't sleep in but when he is home you are wishing you could get more sleep??? Saturday was spent cleaning house and cutting the grass. Later that evening I had to go to Madison's dance recital at Alabama theater. She looked cute as a bug in her outfit and did really good. Forgot my camera so I don't have pictures :( That evening Dennis brought Kason back to the house and we hung out with Shaun and Mikah. Sunday ofcourse was Mother's day and me, Kason, Shaun and Mikah went to my parents church and then to my moms for dinner. Afterwards we went and spent sometime with Shaun's mom then headed back to the house.

We have a busy second half to the weekend...Thursday night we have Mackenzie's sports banquet at GFBC. Friday night I have my cousin Shelley's wedding rehearsal dinner at Logan Martin Lake and then the wedding on Saturday. Sunday we are going to my sisters church because Madison is getting baptized and Monday Shaun is getting another epidural block. Kason will be at his dad's starting Thursday until Monday even though I will miss him alot I want have to worry about if he is trying to jump in the lake all weekend. :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

My Letter To Shaun

Shaun,

May 30th will start the beginning of our new life together as well as for our children. When I think about getting married, I know it’s more than just about a dress, flowers, and invitations. To me, getting married means sharing the rest of my life with you. Growing old together - 'til death do us part - with a lot of living in between. It means growing, changing and living through the good times as well as the bad. It means loving each other even when it is difficult.

I look forward to a happy life with you, Kason, Mackenzie, Mackayla and Mikah, but I'm not so unrealistic that I think we won't have any problems or difficulties. Those will be the growing times when our love and commitment will be tested, and we will emerge stronger, wiser and more deeply in love.

I want so much to love you the way my mom loves my dad. I want to be cherished, to be the most important person in your life, to be your most intimate friend. I want to be your wife. I want you tenderness and affection, your kindness and you strength. I want to be there for you when you feel happy and on top of the world, and I want to be there when your spirit has been crushed. I want to feel protected and secure in your love and to trust you at all times. I want you to feel safe with me and never to be ashamed to talk about your fears and weaknesses. I want to encourage you to stand up for your beliefs and always to do what is right. I want to stand beside you as we go through life together.

Neither of us will ever be the perfect spouse, but we can strive to please God and to do His will. By doing that now and after we are married, I know we will have the grace we need to help each other and our children get to Heaven. And, after all, that's really all that matters in the end.

I love you,
Angela

Teacher's Appreciation Week

This is Teacher's Appreciation week so I decided to get Kason's teachers (Ms. Brenda, Ms Marsha and Ms Deane) alittle something special to tell them thanks for all they do.

The Countdown Is On....

24 days until our wedding...


Madison Kindergarten Graduation



I leave the house for a few minutes to grab us some dinner the other night...Shaun let Kason go outside. Needless to say he was in the bath tub when I got home.



My Sweet Little Boy


We went for our follow up check up with the ENT yesterday and received the all clear. Kason's hearing was normal and no fluid behind the ears....YEAH!!!! No major plans the rest of the week. Kason is going to his dad's Friday night and I'm sleeping late Saturday morning. We have Madison's dance recital Saturday at Alabama Theater. Hopefully I will get to make it this year..last year Kason had his first round of strep throat and I spent my 1st Mother's Day at After Hours Clinic.

Before I Was A Mom...

Before I was a Mom,I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried.I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at nightwatching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just becauseI didn't want to put her down.I never felt my heart break into a million pieceswhen I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.I never knew that I could love someone so much.I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body..I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby..I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom .

To All The Wonderful Mother's In The World...Happy Early Mother's Day!!!!
