HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ME?!?!?
Am I a Mommy..no..well not in one sense of the word...But I had these two wonderful plants and cards for me on Mother's Day...

Mom took Cheyenne, Cole and Colby shopping for Mother's Day gift and as they were walking off from getting Bridget & Brandy's gifts, Cheyenne said I had to have a plant also...don't laugh to hard at the next part... She said that I was a mommy to Chase, Copper and Paul (the dog, cat and turtle that I have). So that is where the aloe plant came into the picture. As for the homemade card in front of it..that's a story...They made Mike (Mom's catohoula curr) sit down and they traced his paw...which is on the back side of the card, but was too funny when I heard the whole story behind the reason for my plant and then the torment poor Mike had to go thru to make the card!

The next other plant and card brought tears to my eyes...which many of you know I only do when I'm extremely upset, really sad or really really happy. For you see Bridget is about the only girl Chris has dated that I get along with and she gets along with me. We both say what we think and that's the end of the discussion. She has her opinion and I have mine. Bridget not only is my sister-in-law, she is becoming one of my best friends. Which she's carrying my my baby brother's baby, my nephew which isn't here and this means the world to me...Along with the neice and 2 newphews I already have!... But anyways, Colten sent me a little message per his Mommy on Mother's Day. I have made a picture of the card, I hope you can read it ok..if not it says

Dear Aunt Chonda
Thank you for being there for my Mom while I was in her Belly. I was wondering if you would be my God Mother and be there for me like you are my mom
I love you
Colten

I still get teary eyed reading it! So the second plant and card was for me in honor of Mother's Day since I'm a God Mommy!!! Or will be shortly when he decides the time is right for him to grace us with his lovely little self... I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM!!!

Bridget, Thank you for allowing me to be more of Colten's life that just his Aunt.

I love you!

I love Mother's Day..for a few different reasons...but the flowers are always in full bloom at Mom's on Mother's Day. These are just a few of the ones I took
