Mother's Day

I had a fabulous Mother's day because I have a fabulous husband!!!! It started Friday night. Jay kept the kids and let me go out. Sarah B. and I went to the Frist center. They were having a free night because of the flood. Then we went and ate Mexican. We had a wonderful evening. At the end of the evening we were talking about how we got away last year for mothers day. I said who would have known this mothers day that I would have 3 kids!!! Saturday morning jay had to do stuff around the house so I took the kids out. Mt. Juliet had a huge yard sale at the park so we went to that. Isaac pushed Elijah in the stroller and I carried Noa. It wasn't long before they got hungry. I got Isaac the worse snow cone ever made. They packed the ice so hard he couldn't eat it. I went back to the car to feed the babies. We just sat in the parking lot and I fed the babies while Isaac ate his snow cone. He dumpped some of his blue snow cone in the stroller. We soon left. I had Isaac in his car seat in the back and I was putting the twins in. I looked back at Isaac and he was just sitting there in his seat. He must have given me a smile or something because it just made me smile. I looked at him for a while and I thought to myself, "this is all worth it!!" just to see a little human that you created that is so perfect! That is what makes being a mom so great. I remember when I was little and I think she still does. My mom would just look at me and say I love you! I would always be polite and say I love you too:) don't get me wrong I did love her;) but I never knew why just out of no where she would say it. Now I understand!! And I find myself always saying it now to my kids. Saturday night we all went over to the Webers and had a great time!! Sunday we all slept in until 9:15!! Jay and I got everyone ready for church and Jay took them all early so I could get ready alone. That was great!!! Of course I was late though. For Mother's Day Jay asked me what I wanted. I told him a flower for each child;) and chocolates if he had to get me something else. So Sunday morning he gave me a huge bag of chocolate. Then when I got to my parents he had picked three roses for me! Then monday I got a package in the mail. He had gotten Mary Helen (a good friend of ours who makes jewlry) to make me a necklace special for mothers day!! It is beautiful!!! I love it!!!! So that is my great mothers day story!!!!

Yesterday we picked piper up from school and isaac had to hold her hand! so cute! he is the lady's man. there is another little girl at his school who he holds her hand when they go outside.

Rain, rain go away.

Well it's been the big flood of Nashville. We got out yesterday in the crazy mess! Once we got everyone loaded in the car in the pouring rain we didn't want to take them out. No matter how bad it was!! Once we all got in the car we went to home depot because jay realized that the plumbers left something undone and water was pouring in our crawl space. Luckily we have a big crawl space. So we have a river under our house but nothing in the house! So we are thankful for that!! Although new carpet would be nice! ;)
So we left to go to Murfreesboro for Kathleen's birthday party at bounce u. We left really early so we could get a present. So after jay spent forever in the pouring rain trying to fix the house and all the kids were sleeping in the car we finally headed down to Murfreesboro as the twins started screaming. So we finally het to the party place and we were early so we decided to go in because the babies were screaming and hungry. The employees were very nice and helped us in. We weren't in there for 2 min when Lori calls and cancels the party. Tornado warnings were around their house. So I ask the guy how much it would cost to let Isaac bounce for a little bit. He said they just had a party and he coud just go in there and bounce some. A few of the girls who worked there held Elijah. They loved it!! And he did too. He was flirting. Cooing and laughing at them. It was really cute!! Isaac had the whole room to himself to bounce. He loved it!! We then went over to lee and alexis' for a little bit to calm the babies. We finally headed home arond 7.
Today we have stayed home all day!!! I've actually gotten a little down today!! It's been a good day. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow!!!!
