Mother's Day



I had another great Mother's Day this year! It started with my awesome hubby letting me sleep in while he wrangled and fed the kids breakfast. Afterward, they all presented me with cards and gifts (lots of Bath & Body Works from Colin and some awesome earrings that Z picked out all by himself!).
Then it was off to Silver Creek Falls to meet up with our families for a picnic. It was a gorgeous day, and absolutely perfect for a picnic and hike to see the falls! We had a great time taking in the scenery and the kids had a blast getting 'misted' on by the waterfall and exploring the caves (Z especially, who decided he could 'talk' to the bats he was sure lived in the caves...”Eee, ee, eeeeee!!).
It was an awesome day spent with my (some of) favorite people!!

These are a few of my favorite things...

Avalee is working on another diary entry, but as she is such a busy little lady, and it is taking longer than expected, I decided to let you have a peek at some of her favorite things in the meantime...

{Ok, so I'm shamelessly stealing this idea from from best friend's blog. In all fairness, I totally told her I was stealing it, and I am giving her credit (and telling you to check out her cute list over at her blog).}


So, without further ado, here ya go...

Hanging out with my big bro' at the park!
