Mother's Day at Blackjack

Cow watching.  One of my favorite activities.

Mom's 6th anniversary gift from Dad.  A sweet little heart that he engraved with, "A special place.  A special day.  5-6-06. Love you forever, B"  It hangs on one of the trees under which they were married.  How sweet.

Lighting the wishing lantern...

And waiting to release it.

There it goes!

Lukey and Lucy

Kissing.

And hugging.

Just being a diaper baby and smiling for the camera.

This weekend we celebrated Mother's Day at Blackjack so that we could be with Gigi.  This was the first year that I told my mom, "Happy Mother's Day.  I love you"  unprovoked.  I then asked Dad if we could go out into the pasture to pick her some special Mother's Day flowers.  She says they were her very favorite bouquet of "Mexican Hats"  she has ever seen.  We also sent 3 wishing lanterns into the sky and I wished for "my whole family to always be with me and give me hugs."  Wow.  Mom says Luke and I are the best Mother's Day gifts a girl could ever ask for and I just said, "Awwwwwwe, Mama, I love you."
