Happy Mother's Day!

Today is a day to thank all those mothers in our lives that have helped influence, raise and nurture us, so THANK YOU! Especially to my mom who I love very much and appreciate more and more everyday I spend with my son and doing the things that mother's do. If there's something I learn more about everyday, it's the silent sacrifices, quiet frustration, endless love and special rewards that come with being a mother. Thanks, mom, for teaching me the things that help me to be a better person and better mother! I can't wait to spread the love some more with another baby this fall!

Jared did really well this year for mother's day. I programmed a reminder in his cellphone to go off a week before and two days before the actual day so he would have plenty of opportunity to plan. :)

Perfect Willow Tree Figurine

Flowers!

My handsome boy right after his haircut!

My other baby :)

 We took Cache to get his haircut at the local barber, here in town. I was dreading it because the last time we asked a friend to cut it, it was a nightmare! I came armed with candy and movies on my phone just in case. But he did so well! He just sat there in the barber chair on the little booster shelf and very timidly let the man do his job! Thank goodness because I don't know if I could have handled a full on tantrum lol. He even got three suckers afterwards for being such a good boy. :)

And since Cache got his hair cut, I decided it was time for me to get my hair done, and since our friend who does hair just had surgery recently, I scheduled an appointment at a local hair salon and spa in Yankton. It was so nice to get my hair cut and colored. I was looking really, "blah" and what mother doesn't want to be pampered for mother's day. :) There was even this little "princess party" consisting of about 7 girls ages7-8 at the salon getting hair styled and nails painted. It sure puts perspective on the differences between sons and daughters! It was cute though. Such a brave mom to endure that by herself...sheesh! She better get a good mother's day breakfast or something ;)

Here's some cute pictures of our recent activities!

Cache put his Bumbo on the elevated console on the couch then snuggled with to watch George before bed. Silly boy

We busted out the jumper when we had a 7 month old for a few days, and Cache thought it the best thing! For about an hour lol

Just silliness

Helping daddy with the brake rotors! He kept sticking bolts in holes and we had to fish them out with magnets :)

Driving his matchbox car while laying down at church

The crazy flowers that bloom every year! And in the background, notice the piles of wood and our other project of a wood stacking area. :)

Another helping daddy with the rotors.

 That's it for today's update! Remember to show love to your moms!! :)
