May 13th - 23rd, Mothers Day, Family Pt.2

A sweet and thoughtful conversation between my daughter and son.

The very thoughtful gesture lead my son to surprise me at the end of the day on Mothers Day with this gift.  A very thoughtful picked out mug and a pretty candle.

My son helped end the day with putting a smile on my face despite the stress and worry that I was letting me consume me over the last week or so.  Life is so full of bumps.  My son knew I was going through a rough spot and he wanted to make me smile and let me know that things will be alright.

Shhhh don't let him see this....he doesn't know what Karlee and I put together for him yet :)

Shadows, sun and my camera......

I had been sitting on my couch relaxing, have a few thoughtful moments about the day and the days to come and I looked over to the wall and this caught my eye.  I really like it, so I took a few pictures of the beautiful shadows from the pretty flowers.

I finally used up the last of my Amazon gift card from Christmas and got this ring set.

May 10th- 12th Mother's Day, Birthday & Prom Pt. 1

My boss sent a birthday cake in the mail to me.  Very cool and quite yummy!

Co-workers gave me flowers

A co-worker gave me this plant, knowing that I wanted to start having plants in my home, bringing the outdoor indoor :)

And then there is this one......this silly, joyful, happy youngest daughter of mine.  She makes me my heart happy!

I love this joyful young lady so much!

She can be such a goof ball at times but she is also the one that can be so emotional and feels so deeply with her heart.

I love the young woman she is growing up to be.  I look forward daily to see how she continues on her journey in this crazy, upside down world we live in.  But I'm always confidant that she will make you laugh and smile when you have a frown on your face or tears coming down your face.

Then we have Ben, the man in my life that truly does my me smile and laugh daily!  He is the sweetest guy and I'm so happy he is part of my life.

Then..... you have my middle child, my handsome son!  I am a proud mamma of a sensitive, caring, big heart young man.  He might not share these qualities so freely often but he is a great young man that I'm proud to call my son.

May 12th, my 45th birthday and my son's senior prom.

I love these two so much!

Kyle does look out for his sister when she doesn't know it at times.

Sweet moments to cherish with my children.

Birthday dinner at Red Lobster!

Birthday flowers from my Karlee girl!

Yummy, very yummy birthday dinner!

I love this picture of Kyle and his date.  He looks a little shy, and awkward making it a very cute and sweet moment.  

This guy has such a big, wonderful smile!  I love it!

He used to tell me when we would take pictures that he didn't know how to smile.  It was always so hard to get him to take pictures and smile.  When he was really little, I took the kids to take pictures and when it came to him by himself I had to give him a box a tic tacs (thats all I had on me) to hold.  It made him happy enough to smile and that picture does have him holding the little box of tic tacs.

Karlee is more than my oldest daughter, she is my true blue unbelievable awesome friend!

Love love my girls!

Kyle and his date to his Senior Prom. Class of 2018!!!

May 1st thru the 6th

Yes oddly enough on May 2nd we had a snowy wet day......thats Flagstaff AZ for ya!

May 3rd Sara ended her 1st season of club volleyball with the Y.

I wanted some flowers and so I treated myself to some :)

Kyle is excising his "18" year old rights lol....and he went and did this....means wisdom.

I may not always agree with my children with what they might say or do but I do love seeing them find their own person and trust the journey will be alright.  I love my kids so much.

A couple of Sundays ago (today is the 28th of May), I got out my little grill and relaxed and grilled outside.  It was a perfect Sunday.

This one.....she is my oldest.  She is an amazing young woman really growing into a beautiful person inside and out with a huge heart of gold!

I'm thankful for the life that I have with my children.
