A Day at the Park

During the summer months we get together with my family, my aunts, uncle, cousins, the whole fam damily as my grandma would say. My dad came up with the idea to go to Copperton park at least once a month as a family. We barbecue, play horseshoes, swing and have races down the slides. We have a blast and the little kids love playing with their cousins. Our last time there was in June and we had a great time.


That is my dad, the biggest kid of them all.

Mom

So I know that Mother's Day was a few days ago, but I had a busy weekend and then I got a cold so don't give me your attitude :)

I just couldn't let this special holiday go by with out saying something.

I am a lucky lucky girl! I have the best momma in the world.
Sure we used to butt heads when I was growing up but she was ALWAYS there for me.
My mom went to all of my plays, talent shows, cheerleading performances, graduations, church things and everything else in between! I feel so grateful to have a mom and dad that supported me through all of the major events in my life. I know you have already seen a picture of my mom but I have to show one of my favorites from our wedding

Tell me we don't look alike? Doesn't she make a smokin' grandma too?

Just a few facts about my mom:

* She LOVES Green Day, seriously! 

* She also loves Jimmy Eat World, don't believe me? You should have seen my CD that she destroyed by listening to it too much, haha

* Her favorite color is purple. Her bedroom is purple and so is her bathroom

* She has beautiful flower gardens 

* She makes delicious lasagna

* Her and I got our second piercings in our ears together

* She always has her toe nails painted 

* She has to have her cup of coffee in the morning

* She is AWESOME!

My mom is such a beautiful, smart, strong and independent woman and I can only hope that I can turn out to be the kind of woman she is. So thank you to my momma for always being there and for teaching me to be a strong confident woman. Thank you for teaching me that it is ok to have my own opinions, to know how to take care of myself and that I am capable to do anything I want. I love you mom and I know that you don't read this blog but if you ever do just know that you are the best mom I could ask for. 

I am going to try and dig up some more pictures of us together, I think most of them are at my mom's house.
