Mothers Day

My mothers day began with breakfast in bed today compliments of my youngest daughter Katie. Eggs and toast and tea all very yummy. Followed by my very first experience horseback riding...





I have what I call a running list of things I need to do before I die...and riding was one of them. Katie has been riding for over a year now, she's the one dressed in pink. She pretty much lives and breathes horses now and plans to have her own someday. I have to admit to feeling abit nervous at first but once I got on and going I was fine and it was a great experience.

As you can tell from the pictures it was pretty wet. The week had been cold and rainy, but after our ride the sun found its way out and the rest of the day was nice and warm. The girls even complained that the house was too hot last night.

My older girls gave me cards and gifts and hugs and time. I really do cherish time with my daughters and have made it a point while raising them to find ways to spend a lot of time with them in ways to really know them. As they get older they get so busy that time with them isn't as easy to get but they still make the effort.

We also paid a visit to my Mom. This is the first time in 25 years that I've been able to actually spend time with my mom in person on Mothers day. My parents have moved back here this last year.

Family is such a precious gift!
