Mom Day Moments

The things that touch the heart the deepest. Maddison gave me a homemade little loaf cake with purple (my favorite color) frosting which was gobbled up before I thought about taking a picture. (I'm still getting used to the blogging world rules of "take picture first then eat.") And her homemade card was filled with such kinds words. Then in YW's I was able to see her testimony grow. A gift for sure.

Davis gave me this bag, which he made at school,

and tucked inside were many things including coupons, a picture frame and this precious gem:

If my mom were a flower she would be a DAISY because SHE SMELLS LIKE IT.

If my mom were a song, she would be THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER because SHE IS SO PATRIOTIC.

If my mom were a super hero, she would be MIGHTY MOM because SHE IS THE BEST MOM EVER.

If my mom were a candy, she would be CHOCOLATE because SHE'S AS SOFT HEARTED AS MELTED CHOCOLATE.

If my mom were a car, she would be a CORVETTE because SHE IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.

If my mom were a color, she would be PURPLE because IT IS THE COLOR OF HER FAVORITE FLOWER.

If my mom were an animal, she would be a MONKEY because SHE IS SMART AND CLEAN.

If my mom were a TV show, she would be THE IRON CHEF because SHE LOVES TO COOK.

He stood beside me as I read through the list, softly stroking my arm all the while.

And Cooper came to me with these:

He had taken them from his brother's shell collection and put them in his own lunchbox and handed it to me. He said, "I found a rock out in the yard yesterday that was shaped like a heart" (I glanced at Brent and he nodded his head in confirmation) "but I put it a special place and now I can't find it." Needless to say, today we are going on a hunt to find that heart shaped rock and I can guarantee it won't be nearly the size of my little man's heart.
