Happy Mother's Day, Mom!!!


From left to right but not birth order! Me, Vicki, Kristi & Scott


Birth order is Me, Vicki, Scott, Kristi


Spoiled order is Kristi, Scott or maybe Scott, Kristi then Vicki and finally Me


OCD order would be me, Vicki, Scott Kristi


Most like Mom order would be Vicki, Scott, Kristi, Me


Sweetest kid order would be...ME of course then....hummmm.....


The good thing is Mom sees unique things in each of us that she loves the MOST...I'm pretty sure for one reason or another we are all her favorites.
Things we all have in common: we have the same Mother and Daddy, all have the Holy Ghost, all have increased our spouses investment (that's what Dad said about Mom trying to be nice about her weight gain), all can talk at the exact same time and hear what the other is saying, enjoy spending time together, never ask ANYONE on the phone, "What are you doing" when they answer EXCEPT for our siblings, will call one another at any ungodly hour, the girls are all nice about it but Scotty Boy is a grouch never mind he calls us most at the ungodly hours, we all are good cooks...yes Scotty Boy is too! We all are domesticated...love our homes!!! We are all givers of our $$$...Mom instilled that in us! We all struggle with allergies, we all LOVE sweets....Mom put that in us!!!! We all kiss our lil children including neices and nephews in the mouth (disgusting I know!) We would never do that to your children and would flip out if you did it to ours! lol Mom taught us that's the best way to give suggies!!! I can go on and on and on...Vicki and Kristi jump in and help me out...I'm not sure Scott even reads the blogs! lol Mom you jump in but be sweet...remember it's Mother's Day!!!! ha

We spent Saturday evening on the Woodlands Waterway. We surprised Mom in our little matchy clothes thing! She used to dress us up like that when we were young so Mom that was in your honor! :) We enjoyed dinner and just sitting for a long time relaxing and talking. After dinner Kyleigh, Scott's 2 yr old, entertained us in the waterpark. She was a hoot!

We didn't do elaborate gifts this year. Mom has everything under the sun and everything above it too! She's leaving Monday for a trip to Savanah with a friend and a cousin. We could have given her money but hey she would have just bought more Victorian mess I mean pretty things and she has PLENNNNTY - trust me! We could have bought clothes but hummm that's hard. We opted for a time spent together with all of us and a pic to prove we were all there!

Mom, you are the greatest Mom ever!!! I love you so much. Thanks for being you!!! Thanks for loving all of us!!! I know we ALL love you bunches!!!!

I know you did NOT put yourself last for being the least spoiled. ha!

We all do have a knack for knowing when one of the other 4 has a need and we are all quick to be there for each other or their kids. And we all think we are the favorite, I am sure that is because we were made to feel that we were each the favorite.

Can't wait to see the other pictures! And look how skinny Kristi looks and has just had a baby. GO Kristi!
