Happy Mothers Day

It's not midnight yet so I can still call it Mothers Day. I hope all of you had a happy day. Mine was just right. While getting ready for church the phone rang so many times I ended up being late. I have to say that I felt so loved. All my kids called. Heather and Jimmy took the kids to Albq. for a special soccer tournament that Christian was in. I opened her card and gift last night at 2AM. I was up late making decorations for the flowers I potted up for all the girls. I got a tad carried away I guess. I made a few cards and had a great time. Heather made me cry. She gave me a Dumbo. He was my favorite ride at Disneyland when I was little. She remembered. Cady didn't go to church with us as she was feeling ill. She's better now. Joe took me to lunch and to deliver all the petunias I had for the girls. They are so pretty. I picked bright pink and purple. On his final visit to me, my dad brought me alot of pretty clay pots. I planted the flowers in them. Joey came over tonight and brought me a big aloe vera plant and some very sweet cards from him and Jess and the little boys. My favorite gift of the whole day is cuddled up behind me in my bed. When Joey got ready to go home Gage came running from Grandpas lap into the livingroom and onto my lap. His lower lip hanging out all sad and pouty."Grandma, I want to stay with you and Grandpa". He put his little arms around my neck and got real small. I asked his daddy if he could stay. At first he said no. He quickly changed his mind and Gage gave him a fast kiss and ran back to Grandpas lap. Gage went to the little shelf where his books are kept and picked a few for Grandpa to read. It was so sweet to listen to Joe reading The Little Mermaid to Gage. Later Gage came in here and got in bed. I laid down with him and rubbed his back and we sang The Babe Song. It's been a while and he almost didn't remember it anymore. He used to beg me to sing it to him every day. He would fall asleep singing that song. Joe came in here and read him one last story and he fell fast asleep. I am so blessed to have all my grandkids living in the same town. I sure do love waking up to a small voice saying "I love you grandma" and then giving me a big hug and a kiss. This is always followed with a plea for breakfast. I have a wonderful husband who does not mind sleeping on the couch so that Gage can sleep with me. I don't get much sleep what with feet in my neck and all. I wouldn't trade these times for anything.
