Mothers Day 2013

Happy day to all of those who celebrate: the moms, moms-to-be, grandmothers, and god mothers all around us. But in addition, I believe any woman with the huge amount of motherly love and influence on a child should be celebrating today. Because its not only the mothers who birth these little bundles that raise them into the adults that they become. Aunts, sisters, cousins, teachers, friends; they can all have such an impact on a child's life that they need to be honored on Mothers Day, too! So, because of that, I'd like to make a little shout out of thanks to some special women who have had a huge influence of love on either my own, my husbands or my kids lives. Mimi, Googa, Grammy Matz, Grammy King, Joanie, Gramma Lightbody, Auntie Kathy, Auntie Dorrie, Tina, Michelle, and Steph. We love you more then you will ever know and will always thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Happy Mothers Day, 
Stacey, Mark, Cam and Avery

Mommy's Day Brunch, presented by 4 year olds!

Today, Cameron's preschool hosted a Mothers Day brunch for, well, the moms. And oh my goodness, it was adorable! The kids came in and put on a little mommy themed concert for us, which I would have cried my eyes out through if I wasn't taking pictures! Instead, I just smiled a huge, proud mommy smile while I watched Cam belt out some, "Bringing Home Baby Bumble Bee" and "I love my mommy. Mommy loves me. Lucky me. Lucky me." Those kids are rock stars, I'm tellin' ya.


After the concert, our adorable little preschoolers took our hands, and sat us at our tables. Then, get this: they brought our plates to the buffet table, loaded the plates up with garden salad, fruit salad and cold cuts and brought them back to us! With not a single spill! It was the cutest thing! I swear, I've never seen Cameron look so proud! He even brought my empty plate to the trash! What the what? When and how does this ever happen? Miss Maureen and Miss Pamela must have magic ways with these children, cause tonight after his Popsicle, guess where the stick went? Stuck to the bean bag! 





But that's beside the point! For 45 minutes today, I had twice the perfect boy I'm used to! After our lunch and dessert, we opened our gifts, which were days worth of beautiful little crafts made from our beautiful little children that will live forever in my "Box O'Cameron".  I mean, what mom doesn't love pins with photos of there kids making adorably awkward faces?! Or those yearly questioners the teachers ask them about us?

All those little things make my heart hurt with love. Cherish it all. Today, as quick as it was, will be cherished always as a great day with my great little boy.  I love you, Cam Bam.
