Mother's Day

So today I spent Mother's Day with a new friend, her sister, and all of our children. It was a great time of fellowship and the kids had a blast! Today was my 9th Mother's Day. It was a good day. Mother's Day is a day that I get to reflect on 4 of the greatest gifts God has blessed me with. They are Josiah, Malachi, Aliyah, and Judah. I truly am so blessed and love being a mommy to these precious ones. They light up my world and make me smile. So for the day today, Josiah asked to scramble some eggs for me for breakfast. I made some bacon and toast to go along with it. He is such a big boy! The boys also made me some cards showing their love and creativity. I loved all my cards! I didn't get any from Aliyah, I guess her brother's forgot to remind her to make me a card :) Josiah also tried to decorate some with streamers left over from birthdays. Below are pictures posted from the day.

Here is the bonsai plant that Frank sent me for Mother's Day from the kids.

Now, I also happened across a list that Josiah made of things to do for me for Mother's Day along with checkmarks beside the completed task. The tasks read like this (spelled like this too):
