Happy Mother of Boyz Birthday

Jim told me first thing this morning that he didn't have anything for Mother's Day for me....I explained to him the fact that he busted it over at our flip house and mowed, edged, and blew the yard....that is my mother's day gift....Our plan was to go to Barksdale Air Force Show today...Yes, that is what you get when you have boys....which I was excited to do...He went to Brookshires and got my some flowers, box of my favorite chocolate candy and had the boys sign a card....Okay, I love my boys the same...just in different ways...Jonathan, my oldest, is the sensitive one...wants to please...and has had a walk with Christ like no other I've ever met...He wrote on my card, "You are the best because fulfilling God's plan is what you do!" Wow, would love to see his real perspective on me....I fall so short all the time doing God's plan...that is what keeps me in trouble....but in his eyes, I don't....Ryan, on the other hand, loves me more than anything...I can make him feel bad simply by crying and ....but, he is a man of few words....He WON'T be a writer in his life....this is what he wrote me...."You are special because you help me do my homework." Wow, really, special....

so, we loaded up, and drove to Shreveport to see the air show....It was so very cloudy the whole way...Jim asked me if I looked at a weather report, I didn't...It rained so hard when we pulled in....It stopped raining but very cloudy.....If you have ever been to an air show, clouds are the main reason they cancel...however, they didn't, they just modified....we didn't care...we were just out of the house and together....funny thing was, when the Blue Angels got ready to fly, it cleared off....That is a show like no other...I was so very impressed....I am afraid Ryan was impressed...he loves military anything....I really don't want that life for him, however, it's not up to me....

We went to the Board Walk and ate at Joe's Crabshack....then walked around some...bought Ryan a pair of plaid sperry's .....not sure why, but he has wanted a pair for awhile.....when we left, we drove by Jim's new plant they are trying to get and he explained the process...he is soooo good at what he does....I am so very amazed at his knowledge....He will learn ANYTHING.....which is so nice to have around ......and he took me to Hot Hot Donuts....I grew up going to Hot Hot and he knew how special it was for me.....It's little things like that that make Jim the best thing that ever happened to me....

Today, was special, not because it was supposed to be....but because it was another day we got to spend together, the four of us...we laughed, fought, ate, walked, but mostly loved....I cherish every single moment with my children....They truly are the driving force behind me....well, after Jim...he really is...together, jim and I have managed to make two wonderful boys that will offer a lot to the world one day, but for right now, they offer a lot to me....

Happy Mother's Day to me.....Mother of Boyz....It truly doesn't get any better than that......
