Mothers Day 2017

This has been the best Mothers Day ever.  I wanted to write down this story before I forget.  Brady had baseball games in hermiston on saturday.  We got home from Livingstons friday night about 1030.  The house was a MESS, and I was feeling very overwhelmed at the thought of all of us leaving at 630 am and being gone the WHOLE day! Chas said he would stay home with the younger ones and that I should go and enjoy the games. So I did, and it was glorious to relax, to watch and to visit.  Well for lunch Brady and I went to Safeway to get some groceries and such, while there I noticed him putting 2 of my favorite candy bars in his pocket.  trying to hide them from me, and not steal them of course.  I was so hoping no one would say anything.  He snuck them into the checkout and when we got out to the car he took the groceries hopped in the back and said, "I need to grab something real quick." He came back up to the front with a card and the candy bars.  It made me tear up.  He is so thoughtful.  I will never forget him walking in safeway with his baseball uniform on, hands in his back pockets trying to hide the candy bars from me.  I am so blessed to be a mom!  I came home to a perfectly clean house, warm and cozy with a fire.  What a great weekend!  Today I have been given several cards and a cup full of freshly picked lilacs, my favorite! I couldn't have asked for more!
