Mother's Day activities...

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! It was so special since it was my first Mother's Day with Andrew...first Mother's Day with two boys. ;)

We had Mother's Day brunch at Crabby's with Jim's family.
GoGo gave me some beautiful flowers from her yard.

After lunch, Christian and I had some special time together (while Andrew napped) and we headed to the Spanker Creek craft fair.

Christian got so excited to see that there was a train ride!

All Aboard!
me and my big boy!

I got the sweetest cards from my boys (and Jim!). They got me "Pretty" perfume and a gift certificate for two massages! LOVE MY BOYS! Jim even heated up leftover pizza for me for dinner and made me a margarita! What a guy! I feel so blessed to me a mommy!!! I could not imagine my life without my boys! What a fun day!

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day, I wanted to get pictures made with my sweet boys. Legacy House offers a special "Mommy and Me" photo session and the boys did great! There were several great pictures but here are just a few of my favorites!




Hope all you moms out there have a wonderful Mother's Day!

CUMC Women's Gala!

Friday night, I attended our annual Women's Gala at church. It is a table toppers event with a silent auction, dinner, music and a guest speaker. Proceeds benefit our children and youth ministries. There are always so many wonderful items donated for the event and it is so fun bidding on all the items!

I always sit with a few of my friends from my Mom's Ministry class and we have a wonderful time! This year, we sat at Tracy and Karen's table with a nautical theme.

Heather, Elise, Ama, Laura and me!

Shower for ABC!

Last Saturday, I got to spend the afternoon with a lovely group of ladies to celebrate the upcoming birth of Annie Beth Cornett (ABC!)

Rachel looked so cute!

The shower was at MiMi's Cafe and Rachel got so many wonderful gifts for Annie Beth!
Afterwards, Jim and I headed to the annual trade desk deck party hosted by Jamie and Rachel.
It was a great time--eating burgers, hot dogs, chips, dips and wonderful desserts. I was so busy enjoying myself that I did not take one single picture that evening. ;) Thanks to Jamie and Rachel for hosting the cookout! I can't wait to meet little Annie Beth in just a couple weeks!

GoGo and Grandmother's Birthday celebration!

Sunday, we drove to Van Buren to celebrate GoGo and Grandmother's birthdays!
Lots of Jim's family came to town to have lunch and all the cousins played outside together!

Singing Happy Birthday!!!

Jim and Andrew having a fun time together!

We gave GoGo an outdoor clock for the back patio by the pool.

Jordan and Julia made Grandmother a pillow case with pink lace and it had all the great grandchildren's names written on it. So sweet!
What a wonderful birthday celebration!

Christian's first tee ball game!

Saturday was Christian's first tee ball game! Doesn't he look like a true New York Yankee in his uniform?! I LOVE it!

Go #5!

Christian played center field and looked like a pro taking the outfield player stance.

Stepping up to bat....#5 CHRISTIAN HOPKINS!!!!

Check out that lefty's swing!

Look who's on base!

Heading to home plate!

Christian also played catcher and did a great job!

Forward facing...

Now that Andrew has turned one and is at least 20 pounds (21 lbs. and 7oz. as of his 1 year check up), he can now ride facing forward in the car.

Here he is chewing on his play cell phone. ;)

At first, he was not sure what to think. He could now see me but could not understand why I was not paying attention to him instead of driving. He screamed a lot at first and I seriously considered turning his car seat back around. However, he has now realized how it all works and likes facing forward with his big brother.
Andrew also likes to play peekaboo or "Where is Andrew?" games. He will cover his face with a burp cloth and hide. He will also come up to me and hide his face in my legs and I will say "Where is Andrew?" and after a few seconds he will look up with a big grin on his face while I shout "There he is!" Too cute! Who can resist those big blue eyes, right?!
