I had the best Mother’s day ever! I woke up and Georgie was in a great mood. I knew I had to get up early since I was driving out to see my mom. I went out into the living room and there was George, Hazel and my IL’s waiting for me. George had gotten my flowers and also my bird necklace, (which I have been coveting for months now), a sweet card from him and georgie and my sunshine had picked fresh roses for me. I have to admit that I was a little sleepy when I first saw everything and by the time I left, I was texting everyone, thanking them.
I drove to see my Mom and then when I came back home a few hours later, I was welcomed with a home cooked breakfast!
For the rest of the day we didn’t do much. We hung outside and then bar-b-qued carne asada.
It was a beautiful day.

Georgie is going to be 8 months on Sunday. Tomorrow I am taking him up to the Citrus Park to take pictures of him under the groves. George and I were originally going to get married at the Citrus Park, so it holds a lot of meaning to me. I can’t wait to see his cute little face with the green groves as the background. I am sure I will get some awesome pictures.
Georgie got his first wagon today. A friend of George’s graciously offered us their practically brand new Radio Flyer All Terrain Wagon. George brought it home today and Georgie loved it.
His first wagon
We are planning a beach trip in two weeks. Now we have the perfect wagon to tote him and all our stuff around.
Today I was talking with my friend about gardening. We were talking about how we both used to garden with our Grandparents. I fondly remember gardening with my Grandpa Harold. Although he was my step grandpa, he was the only grandpa that I really knew and he loved me very much. He would sit out in the garden with me and tell me which ones to pick and put in the basket. I picked many carrots in my young life. He would make me weed. I would sit there on the edge of the flower beds and weed until I was blue in my face. I would help him pick up all the roses after he trimmed them. I remember eating tomatoes in the front lawn, throwing rocks, from the cactus hill in the air, (and subsequently getting a fat lip from it) and laying in the drive way on those warm summer and spring days with my Grandpa Harold under the shade of the garage. I got a little sad when I remembered, the morning that he died, (six weeks after my Grandma Margaret lost her battle to Cancer), my mama had dropped my off at their house, to help him do some weeding. He never answered the door that day and I had to walk a couple blocks down to the Leukmeyers to get a ride home. Some of the most memorable moments in my life were with the both of them. I miss the msometimes like they died just yesterday and I long to talk to them somedays, too. I hope my Grandpa Harold is smiling down on my little garden that I have started.
Like your dreams were meant to fly
Like a bird up in the sky
Just like heaven`s somewhere up above clouds
I was made to raise my voice lift my hands and rejoice
Just like jesus they couldn`t keep him down
Low
Like the way your mama felt
The very first time you were held
The way your daddy still looks at your mama now
Ain`t that the way that love should be
Gets you high makes you believe
There`s nothing in this world get us down
Low
I`m gonna roll this stone away
Live my life my way
And stand up on my faith
Just like the sun rises everyday
The tide is gonna change
You can`t keep me low
When my worries seem too big
I`m gonna dance like david did
Cause hallelujah i am glory bound
No i won`t be afraid
When trouble gets in my face
I`ll turn my back and stomp that devil down
Low
I`m gonna roll this stone away
Live my life my way
And stand up on my faith
Just like the sun rises everyday
The tide is gonna change
You can`t keep me low
I won`t let dreams get buried
Even when i`m feeling down
I won`t linger in the darkness
I`ll be walking out
I`m gonna roll this stone away
Let the light shine on my face
And stand up on my faith
Just like the sun rises everyday
The tide is gonna change
You can`t keep me low
