Favorite Foto Friday-Mother's Day Edition



This week in honor of Mother's Day...I'll be participating in Favorite Foto Friday. To see more Favorite Foto Fridays, please visit Sarah here!

First, I want to wish a HAPPY Mother's Day to my M*O*M. Although we will not be together on Mother's Day, know that you will be in my thoughts. You'll be receiving a card in the mail (hopefully) tomorrow...and as thing go, I forgot to put your gift card in the envelope.....so I'll be mailing that out separetly.


Here are the two of the most important ladies in my life...my Mom, and Ashley. (My Dad is pretty speical too...but he will have to wait for Father's Day for his day!)



Both Ashley and I share many characterists and trait of my Mom's. She is one of the most caring, compassionant people I know. Almost every holiday that we are together, there's always the possiblity that someone (who isn't a part of our family) may be joining us, so that they do not spend a holiday along.

She's a giver....always concerned for those in need.

My Mom has a heart for Missions...although, I don't think she could ever go...as her heart is drawn to children in orphanage's...and she'd never be able to visit an orphanage and not want to bring EVERY child home with her.

She's an amazing care giver...always putting other's first.

She LOVES her Jesus....and has a sweet, gentle spirit.

And, she's an AMAZING Grandmother!!! Her Grandchildren truly LOVE her!!!


We ALL LOVE you Mom...and wish you an WONDERFUL Mother's Day.


I'm also so BLESSED to have two beautiful children in my life. Ashley and Andrew have truly brought SO much joy and laughter to my heart.




Ashley and I at her High School Graduation in 2007.




Andrew and Ashley....horsin' around.



Andrew's first day of 10th grade 2007.

Two great kids....who have each etched...so much on my heart.


Mother's Day wouldn't be complete...without enjoying our "Pup-daughter"...sweet Annabelle!
