mother's day

wish i could have wished my mom a happy mother's day in person, but for now facetime will have to do {bless that facetime}.

deek gave me all day saturday to do whatever i wanted while he took care of the kiddos. excluding nursing {and by nursing i mean pumping, because bless that cal, he refuses to nurse, so i get the privilege of spending an hour and half every day at the pump. moo.}

so obviously i spent my time laying in the sunshine painting my toes and catching up on a good read. because apparently i'm still 16 at heart. {except i'm a little smarter with the sunscreen nowadays. bless that sunscreen}

that night deek treated me to a hot date where we picked out flower pots for the front porch.  i love beautifying things with life. some day i hope to have the planting skills of my mom, because wow can she put together a flower garden. {bless my green thumb}

some day, some day...

sunday he made me an absolutely mouth watering meal.

GET IN MY BELLY.

check out the color variety on that plate.  and that steak? seriously, it was the best of My LLLIIIIFE. my husband is a grilling fiend.

we ended the day with root beer floats made with homemade vanilla ice cream while visiting with good friends.

it really was the best mother's day yet.

but you wanna know what was really the best part?

reflecting on the incredible examples i've had in my life of mothers and women, particularly my own mom and hanging out with the people who made me a mommy.

i hope i didn't fall too far from the tree, because, well....

it was pretty darn good tree.




hope you all had a fabulous day too!
