I had a great Mother's Day weekend. :) Theron had ordered flowers for me for Mother's Day and they were waiting for me when I got back from our trip to get the girls and drop Theron off at his hotel where he is staying on his business trip. On Saturday, I received a really sweet card from him in the mail. He is always very thoughtful, and goes out of his way to make sure I know how much he loves me. He's the best! Theron is a wonderful example to our girls of the kind of man to look for in a husband and for TJ to emulate when he is a husband someday...in the veryyyyy distant future!!
Mary loves to cook. For my Mother's Day breakfast, she made me sourdough French Toast. It was awesome!! She is a very good chef.
Here are a couple of pictures of the kids and me taken at church. I had the setting wrong, so they are a little dark.
Mary, Samantha, Nancy, Chrissy, TJ

I had the setting wrong, so they are a little dark. Mary, Samantha, Nancy, Chrissy, TJI love my kids! They are the best!
On the way home from church it occured to me that the camera settings were incorrect, so I set the timer and took a couple of us sitting by the fireplace.
This one is my favorite, because we are all laughing very hard. I set the timer, then ran to sit down and bumped my head on the fireplace screen. It made a loud noise, and I said, "OW!". Then we laughed and it snapped our pic.
Mary cooked a GREAT lunch. She made Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and seasoned fresh vegies. Oh my goodness, it was so yummy!! Afterwards, they gave me my presents.
The tradition for years has been that Theron takes them all shopping the day before Mother's Day. When they were little, it was a double blessing...not only was I getting presents, but he took them ALL out of the house, so I had the evening by myself to do whatever I wanted. Usually, it was a bubblebath and reading in a quite house while listening to music. :) This year, Theron is out of town for awhile, so the kids did the shopping. They got just the right stuff; he trained them well! I do have two legs...I was sitting on one in this picture. haha
Mary told me to look more excited. I don't think this is the look she was going for. haha
This is me holding my HUGE double stuff cookie. It was SO good and full of calories upon calories, but worth each and every one!
Here's a close up. Theron ordered one for me about 20 years ago, and the girl in NM told him they "don't do that". He had to explain to her what he wanted her to do and she still said that they didn't make those. He finally convinced her to mash two cookies together with icing in between, decorate the top one, and charge him for 2 cookies. Now, you can get these at any Great American Cookie Company store. He should have patented that idea!

Thanks, kids (and Theron), for making my Mother's Day extra special. Love you much!!

It would've been even funnier to have the excited face in the same picture as the amputee one!
