Eliza's 11th Birthday...

I cannot believe my Lizzy is 11 years old!  I spent the weekend reminiscing her birth and how we walked the Hospital's floor in Cape Canaveral, FL discussing what her middle name would be, and then feeling inspired to choose Victoria in honor of her Great-grandpa Victor Gulliver.  This little girl has grown up so much so fast.  She is so full of love and life.  She has so much energy and is so very compassionate!  She has gotten so beautiful.  I love her, we all love her and can't imagine life without her...Happy Birthday my Birdie!  We are so glad you were born into our little eternal family.  You are an incredible little lady and are becoming quite the incredible Young woman...

Mother's Day....

I had the sweetest Mother's Day.  I'm truly blessed to have the four miracles that I have.  The Lord has blessed me in more ways than I could have ever imagined.  Thank you Heavenly Father for your love and trust as you lend me your children, while on earth, to raise and love!
My sweet family made me breakfast and showered me with hugs, kisses love notes, chocolates, flowers and lots of hand-made presents.  I just loved the excitement of Juliette and Sophia as they handed me their gifts, the most.  So very cute! 
Sophia gave me a ton of stuff she had made in school.  This girl is so creative and artistic, well all the kids are, but this one shows and does the most with these talents.  She made me some dress up props (sword, shield, hats, and a mask) very cute stuff.  Then she wrote me a book and made a place mat with her little hands on it, some love notes and a garden rock.
Juliette gave me some mint herbal tea to drink, some more love notes, another garden rock and cute books about me (her Mom).
James and Eliza gave me chocolates and flowers and love notes.  So much fun!  James is still giving me love notes with chocolates attached.  I love it! 
Thanks Rob and James for my other gifts.
I loved calling my Mom and wishing her a happy mother's day, she is an incredible woman.  I just love her.  We are so blessed to have the Mom's that we have.  Rob's Mom is amazing too.  She is just the sweetest thing.  I love her too!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Mother's Day! 
P.S  Rob felt bad that he hadn't sent anything to his Mom so he made her a sweet gigantic Card and made a video of it.  He is so cute and creative!  WATCH:

I'm not her best Mom any more in this picture- she said it before it was taken.

Eliza's Teacher- Baby Shower...

We looove Mrs. Alexander.  James and Eliza have had the privilige of having her as their 5th grade teacher.  I hope Juliette and Sophia are as lucky.  Anyhow, on Friday the kids and parents in her class planned a surprise baby shower at the school.  It was the sweetest thing ever. 
The kids were so good at keeping it a secret for weeks and not saying antyhing on that day!  Eliza was so excited, she reminded us 3x's that same day.  I told her not to worry because I was in charge of cups and drinks...lol!
This is Mrs A.'s first baby and she is expecting a baby boy within the next 2 weeks.  We are so very excited for her.  She is going to be a fantastic mother, she is already a fantastic teacher!  Thank you Mrs A. for all that you are and for all of your love!  You are so amazing!  We can't wait to meet the little guy!
