Mother's Day

This year Mother's Day was extra special to me for a couple of reason. One is that my Mom and Dad were here. This was the first Mother's Day that I have spent with my Mom since I became a Mom.

Me and my two blessings
Me and my Mom...with a sneaky Bree in the middle
 After church and some lunch we all went over to Wilmington for the afternoon. My Mom, the girls and I went to Sweet and Sassy for a Mommy and Me day. We all got manicures and pedicures.

The girls were working the run way while we waited. 
 Getting the feeties soaked and scrubbed....while catching up on all the latest Teen Bop gossip. Katie asked me why I wasn't reading a magazine. I picked up one of the many "teen" magazines. Read a fascinating article about how your boyfriend can be more like Justin Bieber.  Because that is what we all want. LOL:) 
A group photo to show off our sassiness. Haha!
We head out to dinner afterwards and then back home. Photo is dark...but little one was out and fell asleep holding my hand. (insert melted heart). Love my girls!
The second reason Mother's Day was so special this year is that Katie was baptized today. A few weeks ago she accepted Jesus into her heart. We met with Pastor Bobby shortly after and he talked with her about her decision and about being baptized. She was so excited!

Hanging out waiting for the baptism to start.

Quick photo of the two of us right before she walked up. I love how happy she is about her decision. :)
The water was really warm...so she had to take a few minutes to get down the steps. Pastor Bobby tell everyone how Katie came to her decision to accept Christ.
Getting ready to go down in the water.
Down with the old self and up with the new self!!!!
Right after....So thankful for this little girl and who God is shaping her to be!

Being a mom is the hardest job I know I will every have. I have to rely on the good Lord to give me the strength each day to love my girls in a way that will help mold them and show them what it is like to live a life for God. I am so thankful that he gave me these two lovable and very silly girls to be their momma.
