Today we celebrated Mother's Day! It's the day when you're supposed to sit back and enjoy people waiting on you and telling you what a wonderful mother you are. In our Adult Bible Fellowship Class this morning all the guys had to tell something they were thankful for about their wives. It was pretty cool to hear this.... However, today I feel like I am the blessed one. I LOVE my family so much and I am happy to be the mother of this amazing little group of people! God has blessed my with the perfect family to "mother"!
PS-- I am also SOOOO blessed to have the most amazing mom, mother-in-law, and Grandma! These ladies have certainly paved the way for me and I pray to follow in their footsteps!

Teddy Spaghetti's!!!
You want some really good food? Teddy Spaghetti's on Heights-Ravenna Rd. is awesome! Our first time there and we all loved it! They probably won't want us back because we left it much messier than when we got there!

where does he get it?
Stubborn=Benjamin
Okay, there is stubborn and then there is an entire new level of stubborness (is that a word) and that would be my almost 3 year old!
Let me set the story...Brent out of town for the weekend, no nap yesterday or today, an hour past lunch, and we're at O'Charley's with my mom and sister and niece and Madelyn. 3 adults and 3 kids 2 and under. At least the teams were even. I ordered 2 cups of oranges to get the kids started because they were hungry and cranky. Benjamin gets his and starts SHOVING handfuls or mandarin oranges in his mouth and mushing them at the same time to make orange juice. It was the stickiest mess.
First step: I ask him to eat them one at a time while I'm wiping up OJ from his face, arms, table, and chair. He didn't get the message and continues on.
Second step: I ask him again to eat them one at a time while I'm cleaning the OJ. Still hasn't gotten that message.
Third Step: I take away the mandarins and tell him that he can have them back if he eats one at a time. His reaction is a scream and says NO.
Fourth Step: I hand him a spoon and tell him to eat his oranges with a spoon. He grabs the spoon out of my hand and CHUCKS it across the restaurant!
Nice. Real nice.
He must get his stubborness from Daddy.
