*** Mother's Day 2010 ***

SURPRISE! Noah, Eli, and I took a quick trip to Illinois Mother's Day weekend! We landed in Bloomington at 11am and took off for the airport at 5:30pm Sunday evening. I didn't tell a soul about this because we did this to surprise our Mommy's for Mother's Day- and boy we sure did too! We didn't get the chance to tell everyone we were home too since it was such a quick and busy trip and I feel bad for that- I am so very sorry :/

Once we landed on Saurday Noah's Dad and sister Molly picked us up at the airport. It was so funny to see Eli's expressions... he acted so shy and looked like he was in shock! We went to Mackinaw first to surprise Noah's Mom, and then headed to Stanford to surprise my Mom. They both freaked and screamed! It was priceless and absolutely hilarious! I am waiting on a camera charger to be shipped to my house, and it killed me not to have my camera on me grrrr that so is not me! BUT our Mommy's were very surprised to see us and very happy too! We hung out with our amazing friends the Malones that evening and had so much fun with them too :]

We stayed the night in Mackinaw at my in-laws and in the morning when Eli woke up, he kept sayin "Mama Mama"... he must have known it was Mother's Day right then and there :] It melted my heart big time! Noah got him up out of bed and said Happy Mother's Day Mommy and we all hugged and then Eli leaned in and kissed me on the cheek! AWWWWW :] I love my lil man soooo much- and my hubby too- they are both theeee absolute best :]

We had lunch at Noah's parents' house and then headed to my Grams' for a quick trip to visit my parents and siblings too before we had to head back to the airport. My sister also came home and surprised my Mom too- and it was soooo good to see her. I love that girl so much and couldn't ask for a better sister. It was so good to see all the family- we had a good time! Just felt like I didn't get to see my hubs so much... we were very busy people but understand!

I got some pictures from my mother-in-law and will post those with this post of course :] I had a wonderful day!!! Being a Mommy is honestly a great thing for my heart. I absolutely love it to pieces and wouldn't trade anything in the world for it! I'm so so proud to be a Mommy, and especially my lil man's Mommy. I'd do anything in theeee world for him and wouldn't trade a single thing in the world to be home with him every single day. Bless his lil heart, and my Noah Bob too. They were full of hugs and happy times as always- I am so very thankful for the 2 of them soooooo much and for lil Peanut too :] (9 days til we find out what Peanut is eeeek)!!!

When we were on the plane Noah told me him and Eli got me a small gift for Mother's Day and that the 2 of them would also love to take me out to dinner still too! We decided to go to Olive Garden tomorrow night and I can't wait!!!!! Noah and Eli also got me 2 willow trees... one is 2 lil kids for Eli and Lil Peanut that I looooove so much and the other is a candle holder! So cute and precious of the hubs!! I told him he didn't need to get me a thing... having him and Eli is alllll I ever need :] I am serious too- I never need any gifts... I've got their love and that is what honestly makes me complete :] Eli said "Mama Mama" so much and I love hearing him say it everyday- lets me know he appreciates what I do in return to the way he always makes me feel, ya know what I mean all you Mamas!?

Thank you sooo much to my hubby and Eli for the wonderful life they give me. I'd be nothing without my boys for sure! Since we have moved to GA, we are eveeeeen closer and I absolutely love it. It's still weird knowing we are so far away from fam and friends- but really is the best thing for us and we love it here in Newnan and the fact we have great ways to communicate with families and friends!!!! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day- I know foooor sure you are all GREAT Mommy's and deserved the absolute best!!!!!

My graduation ceremony was yesterday too that I chose not to attend since it is in Columbus, Ohio (but wish I would have decided to go now) BUT oh well. Noah's sister Emily was so sweet and ordered me a cake for their house for me graduating and I thank her so much for that- I loved that!!! I will be waiting for my diploma to come in the mail sometime this week woot wooooooot!!! I also got to see my sweet baby niece, Jasmine, this weekend too and she is a beauty and getting soooo big! She is now almost 11 lbs and is 2 months old already! LOVE her :] Eli was soooo full of giving her hugs and being around her too- he loves his baby cousin :] I also only have pics my mother-in-law took so that is why I don't have any from when we saw my side of the family. MY CAMERA CHARGER MUST COME IN FAST OR I JUST MAY GO A BIT CRAZY hehe! :]
