Happy Mother's Day!

How does Amy like to spend Mother's Day?  Well; sleeping in is the first key (although you can see in the pics that we had munchkins in the bed before 7am).  She also really enjoys breakfast in bed and of course some yummy COFFEEEE!  As soon as the boys crept in our room at 6am; Kris grabbed them and asked them to help make waffles for mommy.  They were thrilled.  Amy never really fell back asleep, but it was nice to listen to the hard work downstairs as she stayed cuddled up in bed.  She then heard the boys walking up the stairs practicing their "happy mother's day" shouts.  Cutest thing Ever!

Next thing she knew; they silently (ok, Not-so-silently) crept up to her bed and shouted Loudly "Happy Mudder's Day!" to wake her up.  We enjoyed some waffles and coffee before opening presents.

Some of us were still sleepy
(or just being lazy - ha)

 Present time! The boys worked SO Hard on their presents at school.  Karsten made a flower with hand print petals, a painted wooden frame with him on the telephone and a cute coffee card.  Kasey made a flowerpot pic with the stems as his fingers, a beautiful card and a painted wood flower picture frame.  So spoiled!

"Look Mom, I Say Hello!"

We told the kids we had to start getting ready.  That meant putting on our swim trunks, finding our hats and shoes and getting in the car.  What? You Don't go out on the boat in a Pirate shirt, swim trunks, a backwards cowboy hat and your mommy's high heals?  Yup; getting ready for boat day was a little challenging, but sure was Fun!

As Karsten says currently:  "Knee-Ha!"

Our boat was having a sleep over at Chatfield; which allowed us to stop by for a big Happy Mother's day hug!  Kasey picked out some Lovely flowers for Grandma and the boys were more than excited to give them to her.

Then it was time to go out on the boat.  I'm not sure why, but... we ended up with only ONE Picture on the boat even though we were out there for 6 hours.  Oh well; guess we were having too much fun tooling around on the water to be bothered to take the camera out!

Mother's Day was especially important for us this year and it landed on the same day as Kasey's Birth mother's Birthday!  What better way to celebrate than with CAKE!  Kasey picked out the cake and told me she Loves Spider Man (hmm... Wonder if she really does~ha). 

Happy Birthday to the Amazing Woman who carried my Son and honored me with the title of Mom for his lifetime, a gift that allows me to celebrate Mother's Day with him.
