Amazing Race Finale

This was the last day of the Amazing Race so of course, we had to have dinner and dessert before the show. Gary and Jo Ann watched it the night before (we waited for Danielle to get back in town)so we had to empty seats for dinner so we invited the Fischer’s. I just love our friends from the neighborhood. We all just talked and laughed.

Whenever Danielle comes over she is always in charge of the dessert because she makes amazing stuff!! And she makes it looks so beautiful.

I didn't get any pictures of us in the barn watching the actual show. The cowboys that we were all rooting for ,even Esher, came in 2nd place. Esher would always ask what place the cowboys were in and got super excited every time they showed them. The annoying brothers were the ones who won.

In our own little competition Danielle came in first place getting the most points, I was in second, and Jared was in third. This has never before happened in Amazing Race history but Pops managed to get zero point in the 11 weeks of the competion. He positioned everyone who was eliminated in the wrong spot and didn’t get a single couple in the top 3 correct. Now we know who not to cheat off of in the future!

Mother’s Day at Jo Ann’s

We had dinner with Gary and Jo Ann while Rudy was visiting from Mazatlan. My Love made his very famous Trailer Trash Tatter Tots that everyone loved and Gary made his famous grilled chicken that everyone also loves.

Mother’s Day

It started off with my favorite breakfast that My Love introduced me to …Biscuits and Gravy. It was so yummy-he makes the best for sure!!

Then it was time for presents after church.

    Mother's Day 009

Paris made me a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers that I love with a beautiful picture of herself and a poem.

Then Tristan and Paris made me a hat from left over fabric and lots and lots of glue that didn’t fit- I was so sad!. I actually love wearing hat and I don’t do it enough!! The good thing is it does fit Tristan since she was the model for it.

My Love is so cute and knows me so well. Esher was the one who delivered it.

It was another Webkinz doll since my Elephant, Ellie, had expired. He tried to find me a pig, but only found this cute dog-I love it!!!

Mother's Day 031

My last gift was Tristan’s expertise in hair styling. That’s my little fashion designer for you always worried about every detail.

Mother's Day 008

In years past I have always wanted the same gift-Not having to do anything that reminded me that I was a mother! It is so fun to have our kids the ages that they are because I am finally able to enjoy them everyday and every minute. I have just fallen in love with each and every one of them-yes even Esher my hardest little boy. He is now my little prince that I look forward to spending time with every day and listening to his funny jokes. The girls are always just so helpful, creative and loving I can't imagine my life without any one of them. Thank you so much for making me the mother of the three most wonderful kids I could never have imagined I would be blessed to have!!! I am the luckiest mom in the world!!!

Now if you could all just freeze and not get any older my final Mother’s Day wish would be complete!!!!

Garage Sale

This is my first garage sale I have ever sold stuff in. My friend Terri was nice enough to let us bring some of our stuff. In the first 3 hours all I had sold was the bed frame I was selling for free. I was very discouraged but then in the end I ended up making $45 so I was very excited.

The Garage Sale 009

This girls is seriously a born seller. She proped  up everything she could and arranged all of her stuff so you could see everything she had for sale. She sold 3 things within the first 5 minutes she was there…amazing!

 The Garage Sale 006

Paris sold about $7 worth of stuff but bought this $5 ice cream maker (that’s in this picture) that she plans on using to make money over the summer…that girl is always thinking!
