Ben::Abby::Will: Mothers Day 2013

I am so thankful to Ben...he made me a Mommy. It is a gift I can never repay him for. He made one of my most desired dreams become a reality. While I can honestly say it is more fulfilling than I ever imagined he also challenges me in ways I never imagined. He makes me a better person and for that I am indebted again to him. Mommy loves you to the moon and back Bean!

Ben wanted to make special presents for his GG, Grandma & Grandma Marq...so "we" decided to paint some pots and then let him pick out flowers for them. He had such a great time making them! He was so proud of himself!

Mothers Day morning started with me getting to sleep in-not that Ben is an early riser but still it was nice to not have my normal wake up call. Ben was so excited to tell me "Happy Mommys Day" he was full of hugs and kisses for me and then he asked me if it was his birthday! Vince & Ben were so excited to give me their gifts! Ben gave me a heart shaped charm with his thumbprint on one side and his initials in the back side. I love love love it! Vince got me a necklace that says v heart s! I also love it! I am one spoiled girl! I am so lucky that I have such great boys in my life!

We invited Vince's Mom & Grandma (Jimmy too) over for a Mothers Day Brunch. It was a great visit and a quite tasty brunch (if I do say so myself)! Ben had so much fun showing them his "park"! I love seeing Ben with his Great-Grandma & Grandma. It is so special that Ben is lucky enough to spend 1 day a week with his Grandma. They have such a great time together and such a great bond.

After Ben's snoozer we headed over to Papa White Truck & Grandma Marq's house! Ben was so excited to give Grandma Marq the card he made her and give her his pot! Ben & Grandma Marq were on a mission to see some deer-well Ben was on a mission and Marq was wishing them to show their face to make Ben happy! Grandma Marq will do anything to make Ben happy! He is one lucky boy to have her in his life! Luckily Papa White Truck had a few pics of the deer on his phone and that seemed to appease him!

For dinner we headed to my parents house where I apparently dropped the ball getting a picture of us or Ben & her. Fail. I literally have one of the best moms in the world. If I can only be half the mom she is I will be happy. She is my mom but also my friend. She knows exactly what I need and when I need it-sometimes even before I do. She is the mom that braves a stomach flu infested house to help. She is the mom that will come to your house while you are on vacation and clean it, do the laundry and stock your fridge. She is the mom who will make your favorite red jello with bananas or chicken & crunchy noodles because she know it will make things anything better. She is the mom who will stay up all night with her newborn grandson just so her daughter could sleep. She is the mom that volunteers to do the things no one else wants to. She is incredibly selfless and incredibly loving. She is one of the best GG's ever! And I love how Ben & her have such an amazing bond. Sometimes I know he would rather be with her than with me. He is also lucky to spend 1 day a week with her and get spoiled rotten! I love you Mom!
