Mother's Day 2012

This weekend David and I traveled to our hometown to celebrate our Mothers. I am so glad that we made it home and got to spend time with the special women in our lives. I am so lucky to have the mother that I do! God has truly blessed me with the best parents on this planet.

I don't know what I would do without my mother or with any of the women in my life. God placed me in a family with strong, Christian women. Starting with my grandmothers and moving down to my aunts, cousins, nieces, and friends. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for every last one of these ladies!

So, thank you mother, for loving, guiding, and teaching me! I love you so much!!

I got to go to church with my Mother and I always realize how much I love and miss my home church when I go. Somethings you just always hold dear to your heart. We had a nice meal after church and Barrett got to show off his chickens. Let me tell you what....those chickens are disgusting. Seeing them up close just made me realize how gross they are. I can remember the countless times in 4H or FFA and having to judge chickens and how much I hated it because they are nasty. But Barrett loves them, so I guess that's all that matters!

Let me introduce you to his favorite chicken. He had to reach into the cage and find his buddy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Crook.

 This poor bird. I have no idea how it is still alive. It only has one eye and if you can see his beak, it is jacked up and crooked. Hence the name, Crook. I guess it's good for Barrett because it shows he has compassion for those animals that aren't perfect. But he was really anxious to show David his new BFF.

David was a sport and held this nasty little thing as Barrett excitedly told him all about him. David was ok with it until it pooped in his hand. :-) ha!!

So that was our excitement over Mother's Day weekend. Nothing like playing with foul fowl to spice things up! I have lots more to share from my adventures this weekend, but I will probably have to break it up into a few posts. Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and got to tell your moms how much you appreciate them!
