Happy Mother's Day!

You know you are going to have a good day when you wake up to 3 giggling children (make that 4 with their dad) jumping in bed with you armed with gifts and a tasty breakfast served on a tray. I was pleasantly awakened on Mother's Day to just that. A delicious, hot breakfast of eggs and coffee made by our thoughtful trio, a romantic card from my babe,  the sweetest hand-made cards, a lilly plant, fresh flowers, a flowering weed planted in a small vase painted with small, caring hands, a balloon and 6 large bars of Hershey's chocolate. In fact, Taylor had to comment, "We know how much you like chocolate, mom. We've seen you go crazy on it!" HA!!! Yes, indeed I have! 

We had a full day starting with an uplifting service at church, brunch with Grandma & Papa Clark, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ken, a visit to Aunt Kathy in the hospital (please lift up many prayers for a speedy recovery), Dylan's 3 x 3 basketball games, and topped off with an early evening of fishing on Prior Lake. It was perfect! 

We are eternally grateful for our mothers/LTD's grandmothers. Mom, Liz, Donna......you mean the world to our family and we want you to know how much you are loved, appreciated and looked up to with so much respect. You have influenced and shaped our lives and encouraged us to follow Jesus and live a life filled with faith, hope and love. Thank you!!! 

The grand display of love

Did I tell you I REALLY like to fish?

Baiting leeches - no problem!
