Special Birthday Lunch (a little early)

with my amazing kids ~

Courtney, Phill, Steve and Hannah

We drove over ~ in style...



To Coastal Flats at Tyson's

I received this invitation in the mail a week or so ago.

It has stayed on my refrigerator and how I loved looking forward to this day.

We talked.

and laughed

and laughed some more

They gave me not only their time, but a sweet gift.

What else but a picture frame.....

that I will then in turn insert one of the pictures taken today...

yep, they know me well!

I am a blessed Mom ~ beyond measure.

What can I say, I simply love you guys with all my heart. 

Thank you for such an amazing time!

As I told them,

I always wanted to be a wife and mom,

I am fulfilled by being a wife and a mom,

and I am a blessed woman....

being their mom.

The greatest joy of my life ~ them! 

{I do not forget Christy and Pat ~ they are most definitely

my precious kids too.  They kindly allowed us 5 to have this time.}

Do be in prayer for Christy and her family.  Her step-dad's mom passed away last night.   

Thank you God for my family.  I can't keep this smile off my face.  :)
