One Happy Mamma

So I have had quite the weekend with my anniversary and mother's day-or should I say Mark has had quite the weekend.
Today we had our usual Sunday pancake breakfast but I got cards from the boys and a gorgeous plant to put in my pot by the backdoor since I have already killed what's just been planted! We had great plans to go to the arboretum for a picnic lunch, but mother nature had a better idea....rain! So we decided to go to the Dallas World Aquarium-which I will post pictures of that visit tomorrow. On the way downtown we stopped at my mother-in-law's house to wish her a happy mothers day.


Just one shot from inside the aquarium to keep you wanting more....coming tomorrow I promise! This crocodile is huge-what are they feeding him? Perhaps it's all the misbehaving little children-good thing ours were on their best behavior today!

Colton so happy to be there (and out of the stroller)

One of my new favorite pics- a little blurry though from the mist that is falling inside

Mark and his mom-see big boys still hug their mommy

The 4 dozen flowers Mark gave me for our anniversary. We have a $20 limit and this year's gift was fruit/flowers. OK so he obviously went over the limit, as always, which is why my gifts suck in comparison! He did buy the tissue paper and ribbon and wrap them up himself-he was so proud. And he should be, they were (are) beautiful.

I gave him a lemon tree so that when I hand him lemons he can make lemonade. OK actually it was a lime plant so that he can flavor his cocktails when I drive him to drink. I went with the intention of buying a lemon tree, but went with the lime since it is more of a plant and you have to bring it in for the winter. It just seemed more mobile. I will picture it once I get it planted. I bought a pot yesterday so we'll see how long it takes me to get put together!

I could not have had a better weekend! Thank you to all my boys-Mark, Connor, and Colton

I LOVE YOU!!!
