Gary, Elliott and I went to Hot Springs for the weekend, where I got to celebrate my first Mother's Day. We enjoyed spending some time relaxing and preparing my parent's lake house for Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday evening, we celebrated my Momma over a dinner of steak and potatoes. I think she the best Mom there is (but, I may be a little partial)! She taught me everything I know about being a Mom, and I look up to her in so many ways. I'm so thankful God blessed me with the parents he gave me. I often think how different my life might have been without them guiding and directing me. I am truly blessed.
Sunday morning, my boys showered me with gifts! I got a beautiful hydrangea, handmade (or should I say footmade) artwork from Elliott, candy, a new devotional, and a target gift card. I think I may be a little spoiled! :) Here are a few photos from our fun weekend with family, as you can see, Elliott was the center of attention.
Hope you got to spend some time with your Momma this weekend. And happy belated Mother's Day to all you Moms out there.

Mother's Day.
![]() |
Me and my mom in 2008 on the strip in Las Vegas. |
Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day with my family at our house. I cooked a family favorite: roast, potatoes, carrots and rice smothered in gravy! In attendance: Gary, Dad, John Allen (my brother), Jessica (my sister), Trevor (my cousin), and of course Mom.
I'm so blessed to have a mother like mine. She taught me everything I know, she always encourages me to be anything I want to be, she loves me unconditionally, she listens to me vent then offers wise advice, and she showed me how to be a lady who loves and serves her family. She is not just my mother, she is one of my closest friends, the one I know will be in my corner no matter what. I hope that some day I can be half the mom she was for us.
