Easter and Mother's Day

Easter
We went to my aunt and uncle's.
And had such a nice time.

Here are a few pics from our time there...


Bella buns looks so big to me here. The picture above.

Mother's Day
We spent the Saturday before
Mother's Day on the Lake with the family.
It was nice to get a little sun on the
mayonnaise legs of mine.
Here are the kids drifting off to shore.
The only picture I have of the
occasion because my memory stick
was lost for the first three hours.

On actual Mother's Day
little Bella started puking her
guts out around 4am.
Bless her little heart.
After spending the morning with her,
I took the two little kids with
Brett's mom and sister's
to Johnny Carinos.
I do love Italian Food!
While Brett stayed with sick little Bella.
After a nap Brett took me
on a Mother's Day date.
It was fun until we went to
Barnes and Noble and got a couples
question book and started
asking questions like...

"When is the last time your
partner embarrassed you in public"
"What is something your
partner wears that you hate"
"What are three things you
would change about your partner"
And yes, we just kept answering
away till we realized the questions
seemed less than beneficial to our
marriage.

No matter how hard I try to be
a hard @** (rear end) and not care
that it is Mother's Day
I still can't help but feel a loss.
A loss for not only myself,
but for my kiddos.
A life taken too soon,
but it God's timing- perfect.

I do feel a sense of being made
more whole again with the
births of my own daughters.
It is almost
as if I have regained
that sense of a
mother-daughter
relationship again.

So, I do love
spending the day with them.
Even if I chance
getting puke in my hair.
Or on my pillow.
