Mother's Day 2013

My mother.... it is impossible to sum her up in a blog post. She posses many qualities that make her the most amazing mother to each one of her girls. One quality that stands above any other to me is the way she has always let us become individuals. Never holding us back from dreams we may want to chase and always supporting us in adventures we may want to take. She is one of the most stylish women I know, so much that my sister's and I laugh about choices we make that seem to mirror her on a regular basis. She has helped me make my house a home. She was the queen of making us feel special no matter what. She's a good one and I'm proud to call her MINE!

I had a lovely Mother's Day. My boys always do it right!
My mother chose to spend the day in Carthage so we joined them for their church service and then lunch. My mom outdid herself with Barefoot Contessa's shrimp scampi and strawberry shortcake.

We spent the afternoon in the shade, on their back deck, watching Charlie in the sandbox. The boys hit up a new fishing spot while mom and I scouted out herbs, flowers and cushions for my patio - her treat!

My boys ordered me the most amazing outdoor dining table and chairs for the patio and added to my melamine dish collection! I'll be sure to take some patio shots soon!

This is right after I hooked myself with Charlie's lure.

Proud moment.
