Happy Mother's Day all of you beautiful momma's out there. What a wonderful thing we were blessed with, this whole mommy thing :)
These are the two amazing little humans who made me MOMMY!
Kyla and Landon, if you ever see this one day down the road, I am SO blessed and SO lucky to be your mommy. Thank you for making every day so beautiful, fun and crazy. I love you both to the moon and back!!!! No words can really express how amazing you two are and how proud I am of you!
And this is the beautiful woman who became a mommy all because of yours truly ;) ....and my sister and brother of course :) She went through hell to bring me into this world. She had surgery on her brain two months before I was born and we both made it out perfectly. What an amazing thing. She taught me SO much and still does all the time. I am so lucky to have her as a mom and now my kiddos having her as a grandma.

I love mothers day, I love my momma, and my grandmas. I love Dan's mom and grandma and our aunts. They are all such beautiful, sweet women who all did one hell of a job raising their kids. This year I wanted to host brunch so we can all have some good food and a nice time together :)
I made these, with help from the twins, for my mom and Marlene (my mother in law)
And these (with help from Kyla) for my mom, Marlene and Bea (Dannys grandma). I bought the vases and little blue glass stones from the dollar store, had the stickers with my scrapbook stuff (hence, why they don't all match haha) and spent about $15 on the flowers. Walmart. Yep, they sure are beautiful! Cheap, easy, beautiful DIY gifts!!
The second picture is a back of the camera shot, I added more flowers to the bouquet on the right after I saw the first picture of the flowers on the brick. I thought they turned out really beautiful :)
On the menu: Gluten Free Lemon Raspberry Muffins, Bacon and Sausage Quiche, Broccoli Cheddar Quiche, a Fruit Parfait Bar including: Vanilla and Strawberry Yogurt, Granola, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Homemade Breakfast Potatoes (Cut up by Amanda, made by Geoff- thanks for the help you two!), gluten free shortbread cookies, Pink Lemonade, Southern Sweet Tea, and Mimosas of course! My mom brought a yummy fruit salad, and Grandma Bea brought spudnuts! Thank you both!!
It was a beautiful 70+ degree day, and we haven't had many of those here in Ohio, so we embraced the weather and spent the entire day outside of course.
The tiny little setup. Last night I had a dream we bought a house (larger than the one we live in now) and I was SO excited because I could do stuff like this all the time! I love cooking for people and entertaining. I can't wait to have the space to do it for a larger crowd one day.
( Also, I will post a separate blog later with the recipes I used for the food!)
Now, about that change of pace that day......
So I had planned on this being a happy, pretty blog post, but on Mother's Day we got a call saying my in law Aunt Boo had an accident and was life flighted to Metro in Cleveland. Our Level 1 Trauma Center. If you get flown there, it's not usually for a good reason....... I guess what better post to talk about Boo than a Mother's Day post. She is a momma to two AMAZING kids. Sunny and Cayne. She raised some kick ass children, to say the least..........She had a major head injury and we are now three days into it and it is not looking good. Sunday night Dan and his mom went to the hospital to be with the family. I got a call later saying I should head up. Thank you to my dad for babysitting on a moments notice. We have been there every day since, and the twins went on Monday just to bring everyone's spirits up. Kyla has been breaking my heart through this process. She is so concerned and sweet and loving. She insisted on seeing Aunt Boo, but we didn't feel it was appropriate (because she has quite a few machines goin on in her room). Kyla went straight to the gift shop, got Boo a hello kitty doll and said she wanted her to have it. It was the sweetest, kindest thing. She has had a lot of questions because she really loves her Aunt Boo Boo. It is very hard to explain these things to a 4 year old. It is heart wrenching. Especially in a time like this, when it was an unexpected accident. If you could just say a prayer for Boo, Babette Chumita, her husband Brian, her daughter Sunny and her son Cayne. Also, for her sister Jody and brother Frank. For their children. For all of her family. We would appreciate it dearly. And thank you to everyone who has offered to help in any way, and thank you to everyone who has been praying. It means the world.
We love you Boo
At our wedding, Boo looked stunning. 6-15-12
