It's the little things...: Mother's Day Weekend

This might be a lengthy post as we had a very busy Mother's Day weekend. On Friday, Russell, Camden & I participated in the Amherst Relay for Life event. I had never been to one of these but found it to be a lot of fun! Camden had such a great time and was so well behaved. He loved the music and was dancing around in our tent! They had a lot of activities for kids which was great!! The only part he didn't like was the fireworks, he said they gave him a headache. We stayed late to hear Russell's co-worker sing but the weather turned bad so we left. It was a late night though!!

On Saturday afternoon we went to the mall for a while and then met Russell's family for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. That was a lot of fun and the food was great!!!

On Sunday, Russell and Camden fixed me breakfast in bed, which was a pleasant surprise!! I was getting ready to head downstairs to eat and Camden came upstairs with 2 cards and Russell was right behind him with a tray of food (complete with eggs, bacon, biscuits and fruit--my favorite)!! Camden was so tickled to have a "picnic" in the bed!! Russell gave me 2 Sugarland CD's too!! I was so excited because we're going to see Sugarland in concert at the end of June (Russell got me tickets for my birthday)! I had just mentioned that I needed to learn the songs so I could sing along at the concert!!! I spent the rest of the morning fighting tears and feeling so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and son!

I was able to get a few pictures of Camden before church (needed to get them before he got dirty). He loves his belt that Carter gave him!!

Another good thing--we have some grass growing--YAY!! Russell has been working on this grass for 3 years!!! Now if we can just get the driveway paving finished, get my trees planted and get Camden's play set, we'll be all set!

We went to the Peaks of Otter later that afternoon for a Picnic with Mom, Dad, Mike, Abby and Brookie (Mark had to work and we missed them)!! The picnic was fun and Camden and Brooke had a blast (I don't know who got more boo-boo's though)!! After we ate and played a little bean bag toss (is that the name of that game?), we walked around the lake. Of course we stopped at the rock to take pictures.
