Happy Mother's Day (to all the Mom's in my life)

To all of my mothers: Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to baby me when I need it.
For being tough on me when I need it (which is probably more often).
For always being an ear to listen to my problems.
For always encouraging me.
For the advice that I am always needing but don't always ask for.
For loving me and helping me become more and more like you!
I love you all!

To both of my sisters (who are also mothers): Thanks!
Thanks for teaching me what I do and don't want to do with my kids!
For being a sounding board for everything in my life!
For guiding the way with all of my experiences!
For letting me question why you do the things you do with your kids so that I will have a clue (hopefully) what to do with my kids, someday!
For letting me be a part of your kids lives! (I LOVE being Auntie Em!)
For being friends when I needed to gossip, sisters when I needed advice, and family when I just needed to be loved! I LOVE you both!

Rain Out Weekend

This weekend my parents came up to see Josh's baseball team play on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, (everyone say it together, now) it got rained out. Even more unfortunately, my parents had already left to come up. Instead, we ended up going out to dinner at my FAVORITE place! Haru's Japanese Steakhouse! I love love LOVE Japanese steakhouses! And, I always catch my shrimp! I did not take any pictures because I just completely forgot. We overate and it was glorious! Saturday we got up and ran some errands - just the typical - fix the broken garbage disposal/dishwasher kind of things. Then we went to "Date Night" at the Fork and Screen. It was pretty good...I liked Tina Fey more than Steve Carrell. I laughed out loud a couple of times. Our food was yummy! Late, but yummy! Sunday, my parents got up and headed out after our Sunday ritual at Panera. Immediately after, Josh and I headed to Lawrence to meet up with Kendell, Chris, and Ledger. We ate Mexican and got to spend some time with my big nephew! He is super cute! I am posting a video of him drinking his water and then saying, "MmmmmAhhhh"!




After lunch, we headed out to a random craft fair in downtown Lawrence. It was like a mini-River Festival. Pretty awesome, actually. We couldn't stay because we had prior engagements in Olathe, but it was fun for a little while!


Hope you all had an awesome weekend! We did! Wish we could have played some baseball on Friday, but we'll make it up! This will be a busy next 2 weeks so don't hold your breath for posts. This week we play three games and this weekend we are going to Salina for Ledger's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! Sunday we are driving back early for a Mother's Day Celebration at our house. The next week, we have three more games! The following weekend is two things: 1)Josh's first softball tournament back after the collarbone incident and 2) Jana's Due Date! Come on Baby K!
