Mother’s Day

This mother’s day I got to share it with Ammy and my baby girl Brooke turning FIVE!!  I felt a lot of love from my wonderful kids and family and received beautiful and thoughtful gifts too.

 

Mother’s Day Tea

Today Brooke’s preschool hosted a Mother’s Day Tea.  I joined Brooke in her classroom for tea and treats with a specially made placemat and necklace awaiting me.  It was a fun time with my sweet girl!

Hot Day at the Pool

We have had some record temperatures and on this 90 degree day in April I took the kids to the pool to splash around and have fun.

MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt

Today I took the kids to an egg hunt with the MOMS Club.  The kiddos had a lot of fun hunting for eggs and then enjoying the goodies inside!

 

Swan Lake

For my birthday this year I asked AJ to take me to see one of the two showings of Swan Lake when it was being performed during the Virginia Arts Festival.  It was a wonderful and interesting evening.  The ballet was absolutely beautiful.  We had dinner and then AJ accidentally fell asleep twice during the first half just for a quick minute he said (he had gotten up at 5am that morning).  He said he really enjoyed the ballet except for the part for when ‘they just kept dancing, and dancing, and dancing’ but commended them for ‘the fastest death scene you’ve ever seen’.  On the way home AJ was accidentally speeding on the freeway and got pulled over.  When he was asked he told the officer we had been seeing Swan Lake for my birthday.  The officer gave AJ a warning as his birthday gift to me and we were off to home and bed.
