Wordless Wednesday {Gaga Mary's Birthday}

Happy Birthday, Gaga Mary!!

Today is my wonderful Mother's birthday! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

My family isn't one to be very verbal with our feelings. 

{hello, we are Scandinavian-raised!!}

But... I am a big time birthday celebrator.

I love birthdays and I think they are SO important to recognize.

Hello!!! Today is the day you were born!!!

What better reason to rejoice and be happy?!

Anyway, moving on to the subject!

My Mother is downright amazing.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

She physically manages to accomplish MANY things, on a daily basis.

I do not know how she does it, honestly.

She also emotionally manages our family and their ... "complications".

{what family doesn't have those?}

She is a very capable woman.

She does it all!

She has raised 3 strong women while maintaining beauty & strength within herself!

She puts up with my Dad {quite a handful at times!}on a daily basis!

Haha.... and all of the rest of us also. As we, too, are a handful at times. Who isn't, right?

Has become the BEST "Gaga" Bennett could have dreamed of.

Still has that beautiful, round face that she had when she popped out of the womb.

{little joke I carry with my Mom}

The relationship between Bennett and my Mother is fantastic.

They truly have a very special bond.

The other day we were having brats "hot dogs" for dinner and B came to the conclusion that he love Gaga more than Mommy but Mommy a little more than the hot dog. ☺

Hey, at least I beat out the dog. So... on this day, only 64 graceful years ago, this earth was blessed with Gaga Mary! We're all pretty lucky to have her in our life!!!  Enjoy your special day, Mom - you totally deserve it & more! We may not say it enough...but... WE LOVE YOU ALL THE TIME GAGA MARY!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 42nd Anniversary to these 2 lovebirds♥♥♥!
Yesterday was my birthday, but I also share a birthday with my Parents' anniversary. Yesterday marked a whopping 42 years for those two. Amazing.

Love you both!!!

Wordless[ish] Wednesday

So this past weekend, Daddy P was occupied with the Northwest Sports Show [to promote and do some market research for their company, HSP Marine - if you guys have a boat, check it out !! ;)] Anyway, while he was busy doing that, Gaga Mary & Papa Bob, B & Myself tried to go to a couple of Easter egg hunts near our house. The 1st we tried to go to was supposed to go from 10-12. We arrived around 11 and they had already finished it. Excuse me, what??? So we headed on to the next one and it was pretty much a chaotic joke. Easter egg hunt? No way. They would take the gathered eggs from the bins at the redemption table [10 eggs=1 bag of crappy candy] and literally dump them in a pile not 50 feet away from the table. The line to see the Easter bunny was way too long, especially since the weather was very poorly forecasted. It was supposed to be like 65 and sunny and instead it was like 50 and super windy. Brrr! We were not prepared for such weather... so we will be skipping visiting with Mr. Easter Bunny this year. Oh well. 

Bennett didn't care much for the Easter egg "hunt" anyway... he was a little shaken up by the other children and the chaos of it all. Maybe he'll be more excited about it next year. :) 

We are going to have our own at my Parents' for Easter anyway... maybe he'll be more eager when it's with people he knows and a familiar location!!!! He loves running around Gaga & Papa Steffl's!!!

Auntie L & Uncle M are coming to town late Friday night. We are excited!!!!

What are your plans for this weekend??
