A fun day with Samuel and Faith

Last Friday, I got to hang out the entire day with Samuel and Faith!!!

One of Sam's classmates Brandon was graduating, so we went to the Graduation ceremony, then Sam took Faith and I to the school and showed us around, and introduced us to some of the instructors and students.  Then we went with Mr. Schatte to do some windows, then a really fun truck ride back home! :)

The Graduation was held at a flight museum! :)

Brandon graduated Valedictorian!!!  :)

All the graduates are given a rose, and then they make a 'short' speech and give it to the person that inspired them and helped them get through it. Brandon gave his to his fiance, Janet

Things my mother has taught me.....

(Some of these aren't original.....I stole them! ;)

My mother taught me:

...Appreciate a job well done - "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside, I just finished cleaning in here!"

...Religion - "You better start praying this will come out of the carpet"

...Logic - "Because I'm your mother, and I said so, that's why"

...Osmosis - "Shut your mouth, and eat your supper"

... Contortionism - "Will you just look at the dirt on the back of your neck?"

...Stamina - "You'll sit there till that spinach is gone"

...Weather - "Did a tornado come through this room?"

...Medical Science - "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way"

...ESP - "Put a sweater on; don't you think I know when you're cold?"

...Humor - When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me!"

...How to become an adult - "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up"

...About my Roots - Shut the door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"

...Wisdom that comes with Age - "When your my age, you'll understand"

...Justice - "One day you'll have children, and I hope they are just like you!"

...How to think ahead - "If you don't pass you spelling test, you'll never get a good job"

But most importantly, it was my mother that prayed with me to except Jesus into my heart, and has showed me what unconditional love really means...and I hope that one day I can be just a good of a mother to my children as she was with me! Love you, Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!!!!!

Her children all rise up, and call her blessed;

Many daughters have done virtuously, 

but thou excellest them all!!!

~Proverbs 31:28-29~
