Button Boo-Boo, Mother's Day & Grandpa's Birthday!

This past weekend was a busy one!

First let me show you Ella's boo-boo that happened Saturday afternoon. This is what happened: Ella didn't listen, Ella was told to sit on the porch step for time-out, Ella turned around to sit on step, mis-judged step, fell and scraped her spine on the edge of the cement step, time-out OVER!



When she looked in the mirror to see her boo-boo she said "oh it looks like buttons! I have a button boo-boo!".

Sunday was Mother's Day. I got to sleep in! Nathan bought me our summer membership to the pool (per our tradition!), and Ella gave me 3 Bath & Body Works lotions that she picked out all by herself at the mall. Nathan said she walked the whole mall looking for the perfect present and then decided she wanted to get me lotion!

In the afternoon we headed to my parents house to celebrate Mother's Day and Grandpa's birthday! We have a tradition of celebrating both events together because sometimes my dad's birthday (May 12th) falls on Mother's Day.

Birthday cake!


Thanks for helping blow out the candles Ella!


Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day & weekend too!

How sweet that she shopped for the perfect gift for you. She is so adorable. Yeah for sleeping in too. I never get to do that.
Ouch on that boo boo. Poor thing. She is right. It does look like buttons.

Hi Heather
Sorry to hear about Ella's accident. Jessica did something similar last year when she slipped off a chair. She still has marks there and it really hurt. Hope Ella heals soon.
Looks like your Dad had lots of gifts there and a lovely cake. Glad you enjoyed Mother's Day.
