Mother's Day

Being a mom...is the single most important title to me. I've had it for 17 1/2 years now---almost half my life. I have so much still to learn and I hope that Chase will look back and know that I was not always perfect and probably did not handle certain situations correctly but my love for him always guided my actions. Teenage years are very trying and I've spent a lot of it on my knees. I would not change my life for anything..I am who I am and proud of it. God has allowed me to be a mom and I take that seriously.....I LOVE my family...all of them!!! I thank God that I am a bonus mom to Cait and Ty..they've changed my life for the better. I'm honored to be parenting beside John. He is an amazing role model to our children and their friends!


We started out at the Oasis for breakfast.I got so lucky to have the kids on Mother's Day. Their mom was out of town and so they stayed with us until that evening. We had the best food. I got a new pair of Reef Flips and Oakley Sunglasses! They are so pretty but it makes me nervous having something so expensive on my face. It was VERY thoughtful and I will do my best to take good care of them.

My mom is a great 'G'! She is very caring and loving towards everyone! We appreciate all that she does for our family.

Chase had prom the night before so he slept a lot of the time.

Cait is catching some good waves..

Honey was ripping it up :)

the ride home....

Check out my new Oakley shades....way too expensive for my face and I will do my best to take care of them.

On our way home, we stopped by meme's house! They are so great too! We are lucky to have 2 sets of great parents.
