Great day, great family, great fun!

Whew!
What a great weekend! Yesterday was awesome. I know everyone is saying what a great mother's day it was for them.... but I'm going to say the same thing! I would like you to go to my daughter's site "Confusion Never Stops". There is a link on the right. Karla wrote the best thing about mothers. Loved it! Leave her a comment if you want. I am so proud of her. She is an amazing, crazy, strong, dedicated mom and I love her so much! I also got the sweetest card from her last night. Made me cry. And Maddie had made the card stationary for her mom and said she could share it with me. ahhh.

I got the cutest, sweetest cards from Burdyshaws and Valverde's. They are on my entertainment center proudly displayed!

I got some gorgeous yellow (favorite color) tulips from Andrew and Lauren... I used for my centerpiece yesterday. And the most amazing card from Amanda. And Andrew wrote me such a meaningful, sweet poem. I wanted to cry!

I even got a text from s-in-l Don!!! That was a huge blessing! And one from Jay! So sweet! Lots of facebook wishes! Karla, Heather and the boys, Tara and the girls and even Ryan called... that topped it! Couldn't ask for more.... yet it got even better!

I was so blessed to be the only one of 6 kids to be spending Mother's Day with our Mama!!! She came over and we looked through tons of pictures on my computer that were her's and I downloaded. She didn't even remember some of them. Then we watched a video like the day before my BFC (best favorite cousin) made for my birthday. Best ever with old country singers getting together talking and singing... like Waylon Jennings, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, Crystal Gayle, Lynn Anderson, Lori Morgan, Ricky Van Shelton, BJ Thomas, Ferlin Huskey, Glenn Campbell... and many others. Great, great videos!!!! Thank you so much Bob!!!! We are loving them and sharing with mom. Makes us smile!

Then I made a roast dinner with onions, potatoes, carrots (in one dish), biscuits and a salad. With apple pie for dessert! Kevon and Meghan came for dinner and we had a great time talking and laughing! Mom was telling them about the Lohre and Langager families. Good for them to know Kevon's family history. No better time than now. Some pics I took.... he doesn't even look like my son, huh?
After all that .... I met Andrew and Lauren at the auditorium to see the play "Aladdin"! His friends are in it and there were 3 free tickets waiting for him! We all loved it. It was cool when Aladdin came and sang briefly to Andrew. Lauren didn't know he knew him. lol! I really had fun! This was the end.... and a quick video at the last song....


We stopped at Karla's to wish her a happy mothers day and pick up my card and see these gremlins!!!! Dylan loved this picture with his evil face. Really scary, huh?
Going home.... Lauren doing what she always does in my van.
And Andrew being his typical 14 year old self. lol! It was a day I will never forget. Loved it! Thanks everyone! Thank you, Jesus!
Today is my b-in-l's birthday!!! He is 50 years old today and I bet that really sucks for him! He isn't one for aging. lol! He is a great guy and married to my sister, Libby. Happy birthday Kevin!
Speaking of Kevin.... I have to brag a bit about my nephew (Kevin and Libby's baby) graduated from WSU on Saturday!!!! We are so proud of him!!! That is where Libby was for Mother's Day! Eastern Washington! Here is Libby with her baby boy! And this picture is where it all started...Kindergarten!!!! I used to call him Porkchop. lol!I want to wish my friend since 8th grade, Cindy Beck, a very happy birthday! She lives in Pullman and I rarely see her or talk.... but she called me yesterday during dinner! I was surprised! I got to wish her a happy birthday, though! Love ya cintia!!!
My memory picture is of our kids taken back on May 10, 1986 being really goofy! I guess I wanted the goofiest picture ever or something... it is Kevon, Heather, Ryan, Karla and Tara. Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end. ;D
My facebook friend of the day is Ashley Bandara. I've always had a soft spot for Ashley because she is such a beautiful person inside and out. The love of God radiates from Ashley. She worked with us in KidStuf and she was always willing to pitch in where needed with such a great attitude! I've never seen an bad attitude with this teen... only a smile and a servants heart.
I thought this would be a good verse for the day... especially for a Monday! xoxo
Have a great week! Thanks for stopping into my blog! My readership is dropping... but I still have some almost 30 faithful readers! And I thank you very much and love ya! xoxo
