Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to all of my mum, mother-in-law, nana and all my dear blogging friends out there celebrating today.  I hope you have a day filled with lots of pampering.  I'm having a very lazy morning after bacon and eggs in breakfast...of course with a fountain diet coke to go along with it.  And my two little guys made me sweet homemade gifts from school.  Pat will be making his yummy flank steak for all our mums and me tonight.  We are so blessed to have both of our mums very, very close by!  

I also wanted to share my little guys first baseball season with you.  He has been so anxious to play baseball after watching his older brother's play.  I missed his first game when I was in England but made the two games this week.  He is pretty interested in the dirt on the field (who can blame him), but oh my is there anything cuter than a little guy in his baseball uniform?  It's coach pitch for the five pitches and then they bring out the tee...he hit off the tee :)  When he runs to first base, his smile is simply precious and he jumps in the air onto first base.  Cracks me up.   Do you think he can see out from under his baseball hat?  I'm so blessed to be able to watch my boys grow up before my eyes.

And I thought I'd leave you with two mother's day cards that will be given today.  Yes Aimes..you really do need these WPlus9 dies! :)

Isn't he the cutest little boy ever??!!! Congratulations to Marcel on his first few games. Your cards are lovely, of course. I really like the use of the dies and negative die cuts. (And flank steak is so yummy-do you prepare it in a marinade with ketchup and honey, etc.? Soooooo good that way!)

Gorgeous Mother's Day cards,Lynn! I hope your day is fabulous. That photo of him smiling while running to first is priceless! Love it!
I remember the days when the dirt on the field was way more exciting than the game.
My oldest is 11, and one of the guys on his team was texting in the outfield in the middle of the game this year! The coaches were not at all happy with him. I thought it was hilarious!!! :)
