A Mother's Day weekend

Mother's Day weekend couldn't have been more beautiful!
Saturday morning we strolled around our local farmers market.  We look forward to the opening day of the farmers market every year. 

 My dear hubby and sweet little girl picked out these gorgeous flowers for me while we were at the market.



The smell of freshly cut grass takes both Tim and I back to long summer nights as children.
There's nothing quite like kicking off our shoes and running around in freshly cut green grass to make us feel like kids again. Tessa has grown accustomed to this activity, and every time she sees grass, her shoes fly off. 

Tess loves her little purple quad, which she calls her beep beep; However, she is quickly out growing it. 




Visiting the beach is a summer time favorite of ours.  The smell of the air, the feel of the soft sand in our toes, and the sounds of the water against the shore all make for a delightful afternoon.










We couldn't have asked for a better ending to a fun weekend....  When we got home Sunday evening, two blacktail deer welcomed us.  Looks like they were both relaxing after enjoying a sun filled weekend too.  We sat back and watched them for hours on our patio.  


While motherhood has it's challenges, it also has it's rewards.  I'm so very grateful to be able to be a mom.  The bible tell us that children are a gift from the Lord, and what a gift they are!  Thank you babe and Tess for a fabulous weekend!  I love you both so very much!  Thank you heavenly Father for blessing me with my beautiful family!
