Mother's Day Weekend

Our reasons for the weekend:Me and my Mom (not the best pic, sorry mom) after an awesome night of worship and a yummy dinner at Cattle Barron's in Lubbock. Paul and I went to the Saturday night service with her so that we could go w/ Vonda on Sunday morning. The girls stayed in Plainview with the cousins and crew (Thank y'all for watching them and giving us some special time with my Mom!). Thankfully, they took tons of pictures and the girls had soooo much fun! She was so sweet to let us spend the majority of our time with the Boergers and crash at her house. She often says how blessed we are to have them - and we agree!

My beautiful MIL resting on the porch. She is the personification of endurance, faith, and hope. Nothing - not even cancer - can take away this lady's joy! Her trust in the Lord has encouraged us all. It was so much fun to have all of the family together for her special day!

Because we had the privilege of spending the previous week with my Mom, we focused our time over Mother's Day weekend with Paul's mom, Vonda (aka Grandma). She knew our little family was coming, but the rest of the crew was a surprise for Vonda! All 16 Boergers were together for the weekend all for Mom B. It was a wonderful weekend and treasured memories. I stole this Boerger family picture from my SIL Sarah's blog.

Here's some of the fun that was had while we were away on Saturday night and throughout the weekend (all very out of order):

The kids loved playing in the camper

Paul's Dad and brother Mark (who is not pictured because he was in the tree) came over to my Mom's for a workday on Friday. They did sooo much and Mom was beside herself with all they got done. Thanks, guys, for loving on my Mom! You are good men!

Uncle John acting like he was enjoying the chaos ;)

Mimi had a surprise for Bethy - they made chocolate dipped strawberries (and ate several)! Those two have a pretty special bond

Bethy was so excited that she and Mimi matched!

It was a wonderful weekend with both of our moms and for me as a mom!
