Mother's Day, 2010

Look at me and my boys!!  Aren't we all so cute?  I'm so proud of my boys; Ben, almost 10, so quiet but funny at the same time.  He will still cuddle me sometimes, but mostly shows his love by letting me do everything for me like getting out his clothes to get dressed in the morning, letting me put his dishes up and get his breafast ready.  I even get to fetch his "water special" everynight.  If you are not familiar with water special - it's cold water, with ice, with a straw.  Alex is my firecracker - he rarely will let me just sit down - he likes to be on top of me if I'm trying to relax.  Or, I need to come and help him with whatever he happens to be doing.  Alex loves to take clothes out of his dresser and throw them all over his room - so we are working on that!  His favorite thing is to wear "dressy clothes" (that's what he calls it) including a tie - even if we are just going to Target.....!

Mother's Day was nice this year.  I get breakfast made for me and the boys gave me some nice gifts including a Nook cover and an ITunes gift card.  After church, we relaxed for a bit and then went to Terri's house for a BBQ with Bill's mom and grandma.  Nice day, right!

Watching Bella and Michael

Mark was working hard on the remodel of their new house - so I offered to watch Bella and Michael for a few hours for him.  We had fun - memories of watching Markie and Lizzie came back to me - when they and my kids were little.  Bella and I watched TV and had a tea party.  Michael mostly investigated what he could get into and make trouble with!  He had a blast standing at my TV stand and messing with the videos and x-box controllers. 

Bella has a sleepover

Markie's birthday sleep over was going on - so Lynn asked if Bella could have a sleep over with Alex at our house.  Bella and Alex had so much fun; as you can see by the goofy photos they wanted me to take.  The two of them started off in Alex's car bed, but of course that wasn't going to last long - so Alex slept with Bill and I stayed with Bella to sleep.  She didn't even miss her mom or cry or anything.  We loved having Bella over - everyone had fun!

More Yuma Photos

My dad and I out back at my folks' house
fresh peach!
It was warm enough for the pool!
The boys and Papa swam on Easter!  The water was a bit chilly, so they didn't stay in too long, but the weather was perfect!
