Long overdue update

Sorry folks! Looks like I missed all of April and 1/2 of May...here are some updates to quickly catch us up:

Brenna spent Easter with her Daddy, but the Easter Bunny left a basket for her at my house! She got a new dress, flipflops, Hannah Montana hairbrush, HM hair glitter, HM chapstick, hair clips, and some candy. She loved it all! The following weekend, we visited Grandma and Papaw (with Mamie and Rylan) and got to hunt for Easter eggs and enjoy the beautiful cool weather. We also celebrated Papaw's birthday and got some fun bonding time in with Rylan!



On May 1st, Brenna got her 2nd set of ear tubes and did great. The procedure was quick although it was a bit more dramatic this time as she was much more aware of what was going on (since she is older) and was a little freaked out by the process. But, she recovered and was her usual self within hours! These tubes should stay in for a few years and hopefully when they come out, she'll be done!

This past weekend we got to have some more time with Grandma and Papaw for Mother's Day weekend! Brenna enjoyed having a pillow fight with Papaw, doing puzzles (100 piece puzzles!!) with both G & P, and just hanging out with everyone. My mom and I also went to my cousin Rue's wedding reception and it was really fun to see some family that we haven't seen for awhile. I didn't take my camera (I know - boo) but we had a good time visiting and catching up. I had a lovely Mother's Day when I woke up to the "Mother's Day song" - the happy birthday song with a few lyrical adjustments :) and go to hang out with my lovely daughter. She made me a beautiful, glittery pasta necklace and bought me ice cream in the form of a Cold Stone Creamery gift card. It was also really nice to spend the weekend with my mom, who is the best mommy anyone could ask for. She has always been such a great role model for me as a woman and as a mom. I'm so thankful every day to have her in my life and I love her VERY much!
