Is there anything prettier than lilacs at Mothers day time? I LOVE them!

My 4 youngest girls, the ones still at home.

My boys...pretty soon #3 will be taller than me too!

My youngest 5 at home plus two older brothers here in town.




My sister in law & Mother in law. We invited them to have lunch with us.

Mothers day dinner. The guys grilled steaks (picture on former post) Leon and the boys had really intended to make the rest of the dinner for me too, however somehow Sat. got here, the groceries hadn't gotten bought, & Leon got called into work that afternoon/eve. What's a mom to do anyway? I went and bought the groceries & put together a couple things the night before, Leon stopped at the store & bought a cheesecake & Sunday he and the kids did do MOST of the work getting dinner on the table. Plus all the cleaning up. It was a delicious meal!

This is our basement family room where I put my BIG table. I already have a 2nd fridge, my freezer & a counter down there, now I'm in the process of getting another set of cabinets w/sink along another wall. When I add a stove down there too, I'll have it made! It will work so wonderful for our big family dinners, potlucks & to use for a canning kitchen to keep the mess seperate from my main floor kitchen!



COOL pix! I just got some up too.
ReplyDelete(YES I am still up!!)
So fun to see all your pictures! Such a nice looking bunch! Looks like a wonderful Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThose are some very nice pictures and memories you will have Mothers Day 2009!
ReplyDeleteMy 2 oldest are creeping up on me in the height department too, and I know one day they will pass me up. :o(
So many nice pictures this week. You look just lovely. I fondly remember time spent helping plant my mom's flower beds every spring. A great tradition to pass along to your kids.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from your corner again! Nice pix... and you'll love that 2nd kitchen! You need a summer kitchen- you know- out in the yard! So you can tote stuff back and forth! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post with lots of wonderful pictures. Working on planting looks like so much fun with the kids, great memories for sure. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteGood job catching up! Sorry about your computer/internet issues. Some days, I wish I had them then it wouldn't be so tempting to sit down here and spend too much time one the www.
ReplyDeleteI'm coveting your second kitchen, by the way... and I know, I'm not supposed to covet. :)
I love the picture of Gma J and her kids! Your kids look thrilled to be planting flowers--and to have a picture of it, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat family pictures...and how nice to be able to spend Mothers Day together!
ReplyDeletei can't imagine having such a large family! i'm a bit jealous - it must be special!
ReplyDeletewow! Happy Mother's Day..and nice to see recent photos. I"m sure it was nice to have so many of your kids with you then!
ReplyDeleteSo many nice pictures! Glad you had a nice mothers day surrounded by family!
