Happy Mother's Day!

I woke this morning to a huge card that Dean had made me that said "Happy Mother's Day". He made it this morning with some of my scrappy supplies...I love homemade cards so much better than store bought cards. Dean said he does too because he can write what he wants to say. I don't have my Mother's Day gift yet as it's still on order from the lss. Hopefully it will be in soon... ;0) At church Dean bought me a beautiful orchid that matched just about perfect. After church we went to Mom's and gave her her present. Then Jordan gave me a little handprint plaque she had made a few weeks ago at M's. After a few pictures, we were off to Grandy's for a free lunch for moms! It was a very nice Mother's Day all the way around! I hope all my girlfriends had a great day too!! :0)

Proud Mama here!!!

Jordan has been taking piano for 5 WEEKS now....she had her first music competition today where she had to memorize 7 songs and transpose another. Granted they were easy songs and the transposing was "Yankee Doodle" but still only after 5 weeks...She did GREAT!!! She got all C's which is good in the music field b/c that stands for Commodations...A's means she wasn't paying attention so thank goodness she didn't get those!! Her teacher was SOOO impressed and told us she has NEVER put someone in this soon into lessons! The judge was really impressed too and expects to see her next year. She will get her certificate, report card, and a gold pin at her recital on May 19th. We were so proud of her that she got to go get ice cream afterwards! I'm going to tell her Music teacher at school tomorrow so they can hopefully make an announcement over the speaker for the school to hear...this is a HUGE accomplishment and she needs to be recognized!! Ok, stepping down from my Mama box now....So then I went to Target last night and found this CUTE Komono shirt and I could just see it on her...so it jumped in my hands and it came home with me... ;0) I was right....it is sooo cute on her!!
