a Mother's Day recap....

"A mother is the truest friend we have."   Washington Irving

Here is how my day started:

I used to get a doughnut and a cup of coffee.  This is what I got this year:

 

A delicious, made-to-order omelet.  It had ham, cheese, and all those veggies.  There was also a toasted English muffin.  Made by Kaitlyn - the girl on the the right:

Kelsey, the daughter on the left, had been in Missoula over the weekend, but got back around 4 in the afternoon and brought me this, from the "oil and vinegar store" (as we call it) :

Love that stuff! 

I love these two girls SO much!  I am SO blessed to get to be their Mom.   I also got a text from my "other-daughter-Erin" and my friend Kelle - thanks to both of you.

It's late and my computer is being slow...so the saga of Mother's Day at our house will be continued tomorrow.  Until then...love, me.

Where does the time go?

Ask me that on any of my children's birthdays and I will always answer "I don't have a clue!!"

My first baby turned nineteen, yes thats 1-9 on Sunday. 

 

She went to Bozeman on Saturday to visit friends at MSU, then came home Sunday.  We went to dinner at her choice...Texas Roadhouse.  She was hungry for a steak.

Then we came back home for her other request, a chocolate seduction cake from Poet's Bakery.  It is a chocolate crumb crust filled with chocolate mousse and topped with whipped cream and 2 kinds of chocolate curls.  And yes, even though I am dieting I had a small slice.  I mean really,could you resist this:

 

Then of course we had presents, balloons, and sang to her.

 

I love you to the moon and back and then around the whole solar system a billion plus 1 times, my puddin' girl.  You amaze me, I am so very proud of you, and I am lucky that I get to be your Mom. 
 

Quote only today....plus a picture....

"I always say don't make plans, make options."

We are back from Bozeman, and all three of us enjoyed the trip.  Even though it was only 140 miles distant, sometimes it is so good to go away for a day or two.  To sleep in a hotel and see all new faces and places.  To step away from routine.

I will have an inspiration card tomorrow with two :"copy cards", to make up for not having one posted today.  Because it is just as good to come back to that most comforting place - home.  See you tomorrow.  Love, me.

Winter Formal....

Saturday night lights....

Senior High Homecoming game.  Jim and I stayed home and did this:

To surprise HER (first girl on the left!)

When she brought home some friends after the game to do this:

There was a nice bunch of kids at our house from 10-1:30am.  As for Jim and I, well, we did this:

It was a fun night.  There is a lot written about teens and the troubles they get into.  There is not enough written about how polite, kind, silly, and fun they can be.
