HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mother's Day started like every other Sunday morning with breakfast in bed for Doug and I, prepared by me (trust me, it's for the best, the man can fix anything unless it's supposed to be edible).

Then we were chauffeured to church by Tyler who never turns down a opportunity to get behind the wheel (we gotta get that boy a chauffeur's hat)

At church I received a rose for the mother with the most children ( only because Cindi wasn't there, she has eight) 

Alanna had a fever,  so Mandy stayed home with her while the rest of us went to church.  When we got home I was greeted by a beautiful banner Alanna and Mandy created for me.

Evonne presented me with a poem that I will cherish forever.  God has big plans for this girl!  She is proof that there is hope for kids who never learned how to love or how to be loved until they became a part of their forever family.  Click on the picture to enlarge it to read, but first grab a Kleenex or two!

Doug spent the day working on a project for me.  We have the goat and the chickens in a pen that they have lived in for about five years.  Without going into a lot of detail, can you imagine how fertile it would be if we could plow that up and plant a garden in there?

That is what the plan is, but first we have to move the goat and chickens which is where my handyman comes in, and of course, like most of my ideas,  it's never as simple as I think it's going to be!

 

We ended the day with a dinner of Pioneer women's Chicken Spaghetti and Layered Salad .

I prepared it because my chef's were busy studying.  I did have some help from my assistant chef's though.

And we had a delicious strawberry shortcake for dessert

Happy MOTHER"S Day!
