Let me catch you up about Mother's Day. We had dinner at our house for our family on Saturday evening. It was a great time of family being over and to celebrate the love of our mothers.
I want to say how thankful I am to my mom. She has always been the best mom. She means so much to me. She is so helpful to me when I have issues about raising two daughters. She is exactly the mom I want to be for Taylor and Aubrey. Last August she scared us with some health problems. It really made me realize how much I depend on her and how much she helps me. She is the first person I call when I need to borrow something or need help with something. She is the best and I love her very much.
I am very thankful to be a mother to Taylor and Aubrey. They are both so special and precious to me. Each one is unique and I am so happy I have them both. Each day I enjoy spending time with them and seeing "life" through their eyes. We share many experiences together and much laughter. They are wonderful daughters and I am so proud to be their mother.
On Mother's Day, we had a great day at church on Sunday. The music was wonderful, there was a testimony of God's faithfulness from a young mother who attends our church, and Brother Hollie's sermon was awesome about 5 things we must teach our children. It was a great Mother's Day service in church. After church we went to lunch with family and had a great meal and great fellowship. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Ford for a great relaxing Mother's Day meal!!
After lunch, Jody, Taylor, Aubrey and I were off to Pigeon Forge for vacation. We had a great time of realxing and having fun. It was great to get away and all of us spend time together. We went to Dixie Stampede one night for dinner. This was the first visit for Taylor and Aubrey. They enjoyed the pre-show, the food, eating with our fingers, and the battle between the North and South. We did cheer the South to victory if you were wondering!! We had a great time.
One day we went to Gatlinburg and ate at our favorite breakfast restaurant. We went to Pancake Pantry. It was delicious. While in Gatlinburg, Taylor, Aubrey and I rode the Chair Lift. This was the first time on the chair lift for Aubrey. She really enjoyed it. We could not get Jody to ride with us, something about the heights and the chairs being on wires!! After spending time in Gatlinburg, we went to the Chimneys to climb rocks and see the water. It was so pretty. We sat on the rocks and enjoyed the sound of the water flowing. The girls had fun "skipping" rocks and collecting rocks for their rock collection. Of course we had a photo session of the girls. We ended the time at the water by Aubrey wanting to hug Taylor for a picture and both falling into the freezing water.
The rest of the time was spent relaxing, watching movies, swimming, shopping, and eating. It was a fun week.
