Graduation Girl

Well, today is the big day!! Baby number three should be here by this afternoon!! We are so excited!! Last night was Eden's kindergarten graduation and awards night at Barnes Academy. She was the cutest little graduation girl ever. She received the creative writing award for her class!! We were so proud. She also received a math and reading award for excelling in both of these subjects. We didn't know that they were going to ask the preschoolers to come on stage but Lily Grace just walked right up there and they gave 'cute' awards to this class. Lily got the Fashion Designer award!! It was so cute and she was loving it! Just wanted to get these pictures posted before life as I now know it is over. Ha!!

Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's day on Sunday. My girls and my wonderful man fixed breakfast for me before church. It was so sweet. They got me new ferns for my front porch. Then on Monday our precious moms got here to help get ready for the new baby!! On Wednesday, my best friend JuJu flew in from Fort Smith. Today we went to the hospital and got all my pre-op taken care of. We are all so excited about tomorrow. It is the big day. I go in at 11 and they will take me back for C-section at 1:00!! Yay! Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of the baby ASAP.

Mother/Daughter Tea

Today our Georgia Grandma took us to a mother/daughter tea party to celebrate Mother's Day. It was fun. The girls (well, mainly Lily) loved getting dressed up and sipping their tea. The food was great! Lily wore the dress and jewelry and carried the silver purse that Jenna sent her for her birthday. They both have flip-flops with jewels on them so they wore those, but when we got there Lily noticed some of the other girls' shoes and said, "you should have let me wear my high heels!". Oh my, she is a mess! Thank you, Ms. Julie, for the fun morning!

Muffins with Mom

Thursday I went with Eden to her school for Muffins with Mom. It was so sweet. Each child was responsible for getting their mom's muffin and drink. She had colored me a bouquet of flowers that was sitting at my place setting. Then she handed me a book that was "All about my Mom." The children had to fill in the blanks telling about their mom with no help from Mrs. Sherry. This is when the waterworks began!! It was so sweet and it just hit me that my "baby" is growing up. Plus the fact that I am a week away from having a baby...I have plenty of excuses to cry! Eden was so worried about why I was crying. It is hard to explain to a kindergartener that I was crying because I was so happy. She asked if I didn't like what she wrote! It was so cute. Here are a few of the things she wrote in the book:

My mom is special because...She is cool. I love her.
I like it when my mom...Plays with me.
My mom is best at...Cooking.
My mom is as pretty as a...Barbie!! (now that is true love)
My mom is smart! She even knows...Everything.
I'd like to tell my Mom...I love you!
My mom's favorite food is...crab legs.
My mom likes to...Hug me!

She wrote all of this on her own:
My mom is the best. She is nice. Because she feeds me. She loves me. She helps me find bugs. She reads with me. I'm pretty like her. She plays with me. I love my mom because takes care of me. Feeds me. Plays with me. Let's me dress up in her cloes. Puts makeup on me. Reads with me. Dresses me. Lets me have allowance. I love her because she loves me.
