Mothers Day and Beyond

So Mothers Day was alot of fun!! After church, I went and hung out with my momma and had a blast. We had some lunch and shopping. It had been a while since her and I hung out and spent time together like that! Evan and I had things all planned and ready to go untill about midnight the night before! My other brother, Mikey decided to come up from St Louis at last minute with some friends that were on their way back up here. His wife was already here so he thought it would be awesome to suprise my mom! After an hour of figuring out times and what not(we had to change dinner plans because he only had a short time here) we figured out that i could take mom shopping and then bring her back home when mikey got into town. When i got the phone that he was here, it was like explaining to a lil kid the reason we have to go home when u dont want to tell the the truth. Mom kept asking and asking and asking why do we need to go to the hse, whats wrong, whats going on at the hse. I finally told her to get into the car and be suprised! Well when we got home......she was! We had managed to pull it off, even though she kept asking and kept texting mikey about what he was doing and this and that!
It was awesome to see the expression on moms face when she entered the living room and saw him sitting there! I think she almost cried!! For the first time in a long time the four of us sat there and talked with NO fighting or arguing it was great!! Sadly though the time flew by and Mikey had to leave. He and Erin had to head back to St Louis because they had to work Monday morning.
After Evan took Mikey back to Independence to meet back up with Erin, Mom, John, Evan and myself met up with Patrick and the babies for dinner at a Japenesse Steak house......SO YUMMY!!!! The babies brought me a card they had made that said "Boo Ku" on one side and "YAY Mu" on the other! Im really supirsed that it didnt say "YaY K-State" thats the normal phrase. But on there somewhere it said Happy Mothers Day! All in all it was a great day! Really couldnt ask for a better day!
We have a busy time coming our way. The babies are almost out of school and getting ready for their many camping trips and vacations this summer! Patrick is traveling more and i am working more.....although im not sure how much is really left to spare! O yea, im adding school into that mix come August! And in LESS than a week.....my BABY brother with be a high school graduate AND 18 years old! Im getting old!! Its time to head to church!! Have a great week!
