Happy Memorial Day!

Today is a very important day of honoring those men and women who have served our country and given their lives so that we could experience the freedom we have in America. I cannot think of this day and not think of my sweet lil' PeePaw who proudly served our country for 4 to 5 years in WWII. Thank you PeePaw!

Here is an old picture of my PeePaw in his uniform.

Here he is with my Memaw when they were much younger.

Scott's Birthday Celebration

In our family when it is someone's birthday or special occasion we tend to celebrat ALL weekend leading up to the BIG day. So, we started off our celebration on Friday afternoon when Scott got home from work.

Here are the kids giving their Daddy his first gift.

I think he liked it!

We then took Scott to his favorite Mexican Restaurant, Pappasitos!

We had a great time and Bella was a little wild due to all the excitement.

Can you tell?

Lane is Quite the Athlete!!

It has been a great week for Lane at the Reaves House. On Saturday I was in Dallas and Scott took Lane and Bella to the YMCA 1 mile Trial Run. Daddy's lil' project got 2nd place in his age group!! Lane ran a 10 min and 55 second mile. We were so proud of him, but I think Daddy was by far the MOST proud! Here is Lane with his medal. He also got a huge purple and gold trophy!

Daddy's Lil' Runner

On Tuesday night Lane's baseball team (The Mets) played the Astros and his team won. Lane played such a great game. He tagged a kid out playing second base, backed up two balls in the outfield that the innfield missed and got 3 base hits, one of those hits was a coach pitch! He was always in his position and kept his head in the game so guess who got the GAME BALL??? LANERBUGS!!! He was so excited and so were we.

Here is Lane with his coach, Manny.

Here he is getting his game ball back from Pa.

Here we are enjoying our snack after the game.

My two favorite boys.

We had to celebrate afterwards by Lane ordering a frozen strawberry drink with whip cream!

We are so proud of you Lanerbugs! We love you bunches!

Mother's Day Sunday!

This morning and my entire day with Scott, Lane and Bella was awesome. Bella came down the hallway this morning holding a beautiful tulip plant. She said "Mommy, mmm smell good." Then we got dressed and went into the kitchen.

Here we are when they handed me my card and gift.

They got me a cute card that sang.

Bella was great and showing it to me while Lane tried reading it aloud.

Scott and the kids went shopping and Lane picked out a beautiful necklacethat spelled MOM and the "O" in Mom were diamonds.He was so proud to tell me that "Dad didn't know what to buy so he picked it out."

Then Scott bought me a beautiful Black watch with diamonds around face.

I love it!!

Then it was off to church to see my Mom and Dad. Here they are playing on the church steps after the service. By the way my parents would have never let me play on the alter after church, but I guess it's different with grandkids.

After church we had lunch at Tinsley's Fried Chicken!

After church we went home for a nap and then woke up and went and ate at Lupe Tortilla and the kids played in the sandbox. What a great day.


Also I forgot to mention last night after returning from Dallas Scott took me to my favorite steakhouse, Perry's, for dinner. Just the two of us. It was a great Mother's Day dinner alone and we had such a good time and great conversation. Thanks to John for watching the kiddos for us!

Friday Evening!

After Lane's luncheon Mom and I met and drove to Dallas to visit Amber. Her best friend, Jamie, is having a baby girl and Amber was hosting a baby shower for her. When we arrived it was time for presents for the Cade Man. We always bring suprises.

We got Caden a Mickey Mouse coloring book.

We also got him some water balls to play with in the pool.

For dinner I took Mom and Amber to Chedder's

as part of their Mother's Day gift.
