More proud moments!

Those crazy Methodists!!

 

Four generations of Lemmons!

Bailey in the stole she designed during her class retreat in April.

After nine months of confirmation class at our church, Bailey was confirmed on Sunday evening! We are so very proud of her and what this decision means for her as a Christian!! She and many of her best friends have worked hard and had lots of fun during their classes and it was such a meaningful end of one journey and the beginning of a new one. We were thrilled that Chris's dad and grandmother as well as our sister-in-law, Kelly, were able to come celebrate with us as well as Grammy & Pops.

National Junior Beta Club induction

We are so very proud of how well Bailey has done during her first year of middle school!! I had no idea what to expect but I can honestly say she has far exceeded any expectations I might have had in the back of my mind. Her grades have been fantastic; she has made lots of friends; she has been faithfully involved in youth activities at our church; she has continued to be a wonderful big sister; and she recently made the middle school volleyball team!! And last week, she was inducted into the National Junior Beta Club - what an honor!! We are truly blessed by our amazing and beautiful #1 daughter and we can't wait to see what the future holds for her!

Happy Mothers Day!!

My first Mothers Day as a mom 12 years ago with Bailey, my mom & grandmother.

And today, with my mom, Bailey & Morgan. My hair has definitely improved!!

Morgan's Mothers Day card to my mom. LOVE!!

The breakfast Chris made for me. It was exceptional!!

Seven-layer salad that I made for today's lunch.

Today was an absolutely lovely Mother's Day! My parents went to church with us and then we came back to our house for lunch, lovingly prepared by moi! I intended to make reservations at the Chop House but since it was graduation weekend as well as Mother's Day, I was a bit out of luck. We enjoyed delicious chicken roll-ups, twice baked potato casserole, 7-layered salad (carefully layered by me!), and my sweet mama's favorite, Coca-Cola Cake! We pulled out all the pretty things and really enjoyed being together, talking, laughing, and relaxing - much more than we would have at a restaurant. Since Chris had to work this weekend, he and the girls took me out last weekend to Bonefish Grill and he also fixed breakfast in bed for me yesterday. I didn't know he could make French toast!! Twenty-four years together and he still surprises me!! So, it was a glorious celebration and I am so thankful and blessed to still have my mama and to be called "mama" every day!
