Mother's Day and Monday

I can honestly say, this year, Mother's Day was the best ever! How could it not be? The sun was shining, I had all three B's to myself, and we didn't have any work to do. It was amazing! I felt very loved and special and was truly treated like a Queen B, which, in case you didn't know, I am! As you can see, I had a wonderful breakfast made for me. Brailey cooked her first eggs, which she looked up on Google to learn how to fix. Britt cooked my favorite chocolate chip waffles, and the finishing touch, which really made my heart smile, were the peanuts. My B's are full of sweetness! Brady made the coffee and delivered it to me and  then he sat back and enjoyed his little worker B's. I could hear them from my room, where I patiently waited, and it sounded like quite a scene to behold. Below, you see my beautiful gifts. Brailey spent so much time on them, it melts my heart! She is becoming more and more crafty and creative - I love it! And Britt has the all-boyness to his work that is every bit as precious. My sweet friend Renee helped them with these gifts, which she somehow did without me knowing and secretly got to the kids, complete with cards! I love these so much...!
After all my presents (which felt like Christmas or my birthday!) we went for a Mother's Day lunch at Chili's, which was delicious! And then, later in the day, Brady and Brailey rode their ponies. Brailey showed me a few things she learned at her barrel racing clinic, and then she and her dad roped the dummy. This girl LOVES to rope! Poor Britt came down with a bad ear infection on Saturday, causing him to miss his swim clinic, and so I made him stay in the house with a heat pack on his ear after we got back from lunch on Sunday. No riding for him, but as we all know, this didn't really bother him. However, having to lay low all day long did. But as you scroll through these pictures, you will see that he was out and about yesterday, once again being an awesome brother.
The weather was so nice on Monday (and is supposed to be all week long)! Brailey asked Britt to play a little volleyball with her, and of course he said yes, and they made up their own game. It was fun to watch, and I'm thrilled they got some fresh air. It feels like summer is here, and even though school is not yet out, I have decided it IS summer, and we are going to enjoy every second of it, starting yesterday!
