Connor and the Puppies!!!!
Last weekend, we took Connor to a dog breeder's to see lab puppies (and King Charles Cavalier Spaniels--the dogs that Grammy and Grandpa have). Anna and Brad were with us, as Brad was interested in checking out the pups. Well, as you can tell from the pics, we were able to skip the "petting zoo" later on--Connor got all of his "pets" in, here! ;)

Happy Mother's Day!
The following is a story I received on-line....too funny! ;)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom.Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done. Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the joys of motherhood. We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car andI am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said "chapped." Now, if you have a cat, you know that he is right---their little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind. And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth. And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick on the cat's behind.
Hope you all had a wonderful day--we love all of the mama's and grandma's in our life--especially our own! ;)

Lyndsay's Wedding!
My beautiful friend Lyndsay got married last weekend in Asheville, NC, where she and Teah (my other beautiful friend :) are now living! It was a GORGEOUS wedding, and it was so great to spend time with my ladies! Connor and Tommy stayed home so I was without them for three days, but being in the wedding made things extremely busy, so thank you to Grammy and Grandpa for helping out with Connor so we could all have a good time! ;) Congrats Lynds and Stephen--we know your marriage will be full of love, joy, and happiness!!!! Thanks again Teah, for being such a fabulous date!!!! (De and Jess, too! ;) I missed my boys, and was very glad to see them on Sunday evening!
