Today I am thankful for my mom, aka Lee Lee to her grandbabies. It is her birthday today. Happy Birthday Mom!! I wish we were all with you today to celebrate. Anyone who follows this blog and pays attention to the comments knows my Mom. She comments on every single post and always has something funny or sweet to say. She is without a doubt the best Mom in the world. I am not kidding, she is Supermom. She keeps a perfectly clean house, the laundry is ALWAYS done, she cooks, she works in the yard, she plays tennis, she volunteers, etc. Anything you can think of, Lee Lee does it. And the thing that gets me is, she does everything with the biggest smile on her face and the most cheerful attitude. She never expects anyone to thank her for all that she does. She simply loves to take care of people. And she does an unbelievable job. All of the time. Adam and Justin (the two newcomers to our family) always say that Lee Lee is a machine. She just never stops. She is the energizer bunny. When we were all in Little Rock for the golf tournament a few weeks ago, Adam came downstairs to announce that he had put his dirty golf socks in the hamper before his shower. About an hour later he went into his bedroom and was amazed to see that somehow Lee Lee had already washed them and they were neatly folded on his suitcase. That is just how she is. To others it is amazing, to me and my sisters, it is just how our mom is. I could write and write and write about how amazing she is. You will just have to trust me on this. I wish you could all meet her because you would all love her so much. Everyone who knows her loves her. I can't think of a reason in the world why someone wouldn't love to be around her. Mom, thank you for everything. Please know how much we all appreciate what you do for us. I hope that my girls love me as much as I love you someday. That is my number one goal in life. I love you so much. We all do.

It would mean a lot to me if you guys would tell my mom happy birthday in the comments. She loves this blog and she reads every comment, so I thought it would be really cool if we got a whole bunch of comments for her. Thanks ahead of time to those who take a few seconds to do this for me.

The girls and I had a really busy day. We got up and ate breakfast, went to the grocery store, and played with our neighbors all before lunch. Then we ate lunch at a pizza place with Steve, Christy, and Ava. When we got home, Lucy was already asleep for her nap and Annie went straight down. They napped for a while and then we went to a friend's pool this afternoon. I love days like this. I prefer to be on the go and doing fun stuff for the girls. Plus I love it when the days fly by. It is miserably hot here right now. I don't even want to step outside it is so bad. We get to swim with friends in the morning as well. Yeah! Annie always takes a little while to warm up to the pool but then she is a crazy woman in there. She loved the waterfall. Lucy is totally comfortable in her Floaties and LOVES to jump off of the side to me. I really wish we had a pool. Someday.

A birthday video for Lee Lee. She is mostly being totally silly!


A cute video of Annie. She was so serious in the others.
