Another weekend at the beach
Mom, my aunt Annette, Ashlyn and I went to the beach over Memorial Day weekend. We had a great relaxing weekend. Friday night we were all pooped so we went to bed fairly early. We were up bright and early Saturday morning to hit the beach. The weather was awesome! Saturday night we ate at Landry's at Broadway at the Beach. Believe it or not we walked right in and did not have to wait for a table. We were sat immediately. Our food was delicious. I highly recommend trying this resturaunt. They had some great seafood! It had been a while since I had actually walked around Broadway and did some shopping. I found so many cute things in all of the specialty boutiques, and the prices were not bad at all. Saturday morning we woke up and went to the flea market. You can ALWAYS find some good bargains there. I bought a couple of different things - some jewelry, headbands, a wallet, and Ashlyn some junk toys. My mammaw Drum had given Ashlyn $20 to spend on whatever she wanted. She found a few different trinkets for less than $5. I also bought Ashlyn 3 more pair of Crocs for less than nothing. We were back at the house for lunch, and then out to the beach we went. I dug a whole for Ashlyn to play in. What a work out!!! We were on the beach for a couple of hours and then we headed to the pool. Ashlyn loved the "kitty cat pool" (kiddy pool). =) She threw a fit when it was time to leave. Back to the house we went to take a nap. We went to dinner and then went to the Crazy Pelican. Ashlyn was dancing her little booty off! Everyone loved watching her. She was our entertainment. I wish that I would have had my video camera. She was too darn cute! Monday we went to eat breakfast at the Omega breakfast house. Yum Yum! Mom wanted to go to the outlets to do even more shopping. I took Ashlyn to the playground and the pool one last time. By 2:00 we were back at the house to pack up and clean the house. It was time to go home. As we were packing the car our neighbors came out. Rena, a girl from Michigan that I grew up and hung out with every summer at the beach, was down with her husband. Her brother is living at their beach house. It was great to get to see her and her brother. I haven't seen either of them in probably 4 years. On the road again. We thought that we were making great time until we came to a halt for 2 WHOLE HOURS! There was a terrible wreck. We would move a few feet every 10 minutes or so. We were hoping to be home by 8:00, but we didn't get in until 10:00. Today it was back to reality. It was tough getting up and going this morning. We had a great trip. I hope to get to do it more this year.

Mother's Day
I hope that all of you had a spectacular Mother's Day! It made my day just to have Ashlyn walk up to me, give me a huge hug, and say in her little girly voice "Happy Mother's Day Mommy. I love you!" It's so cool to have a day devoted to Mother's. I've always enjoyed Mother's Day, even before Ashlyn. I loved giving my mom and mammaw's their special gifts each year, but now that I'm a mother myself, I have a whole new perspective on this special day. Being a mother is truly the best gift ever. There are many days that I have wanted to pull my hair out due to hearing those high pitch squeals from temper tantrums, but everytime that Ashlyn tells me how much she loves me.................when she stretches out on my lap wanting her back scratched...............evertime that I see her little smile, my heart just melts. These moments make motherhood the best experience and the best gifts that life can give you! You never really know how much love you can have for someone until you hold your child for the first time. It's AMAZING! And your love only grows from that point on. Life is good being a mother!
