Mom's Day 2011

What would the world be without our kids?! 

I had grand ideas of taking the kids to the rail trail for a Mother's Day Rail family bike ride, and then we went out on the screen porch and saw ducks having a fine time in our pool.  Upon investigation we found they were making a royal mess.. so change of plans we donned our work boots and hit the pool area to remove the leaf net so we could begin the grueling process of opening the pool.. grueling because our cover failed so we will have a lot of  pool vacuuming and scrubbing to do this spring.


Our lovely duck friends.. we also have a giant frog, who no matter how far away we bring him from the pool.. instantly hops back in.  Clearly he believes he is in a pond.  But let's be honest.. it really does look pond-like.

Work is done!  Off to Babci's house for a big Mother's Day visit.. after all I wouldn't be here having kids if my Mom or Babci weren't Mom's!


How is it that cemetery's are always beautiful?!

A walk over to the cemetery is always required when visiting Babci. Not only to visit my Grandfather but also to throw sticks and dandelions off the bridge and watch them come out on the other side.


Back to Babci's, the walk tired Cora out.. such a little lady isn't she?  sitting on Babci's lap!  Guess we'll have to work on the proper way to sit while wearing a dress :) 

Seriously?  Can't we get just one picture of everyone looking happy?!

We thought a pig-pile might help, but they fought over who would be first on top.. Caden is sulking in the background

Four generations!

Cora's Godfather Aaron is Mr. Polo... if it weren't for him I never would've thought to check out the clearance section on-line where I found lots of good deals for the kids!  They are far more stylish than their parents!!  Here they pose together with their horsies!

It certainly was  Happy Mom's Day!  It is especially fun now that the kids are in school and I get fun home made gifts that they bring home!

Love the pictures of the shoes. And I totally agree with you about cemeteries.

I laughed out loud at the pic and the caption of you and the kids! Isn't it the truth?! It's a good one of you anyway! And everyone will have a good laugh about it someday! :)
