On Saturday night, David slept in a tent in the backyard with Cyrena. This was so exciting forher and she loved every minute of it. Sadly, I was told to stay inside to take care of Natalie. Actually around 10:00 p.m. she came in and asked me to switch places with Daddy. I told her next time I would.
Loaded up with books and water bottles (it was in the high 90's) they were good to go!
A little friend I spied in the backyard before I hurriedly went back inside.
Oh the excitement was killing her!
So David and Cyrena came waltzing in around 7:00 a.m. and we talked and played in bed like we do every Sunday morning. Then, while they left to go make me breakfast, I had a really fun photo shoot with Natalie. The camera loves her!
For my Mother's Day gift I asked David to help me deep clean the house. We've worked hard all week and it's so nice to know my house is CLEAN. At least for a few days...
David made me Eggs Benedict and it was YUMMMMMMY! I love that he's willing to make special things for me! Then we all got ready for church, Natalie napped, I scrapbooked a little (we have 12:00 church), then it was off to a wonderful day at church. The girls looked beautiful and I couldn't help but nibble on them. Home from church we all rested then David put together a tasty dinner.
We have a ritual every night before we go to sleep. I lay on David's chest and he plays with my hair while we talk and chat about our day, the kids, funny things that have happened, insights we've had, goals we want to work toward, what's stressing us out, etc. Last night, as I got ready to assume my position David looked me in the eyes and said, "I want to tell you how I feel about you." Ok, I'll admit I started giggling because it seemed like he was going to break into song or something. So that made him laugh. But then he expressed to me many wonderful and sweet feelings he has for me. He is so good at telling me how amazing I am, when all I do is put myself down. I feel so blessed to have him in my life, we truly are a perfect fit and couldn't survive this world without each other. What a great way to end Mother's Day!
HOW LUCKY AM I???

You are SUPER lucky! What makes you even luckier is that you recognize that your lucky.
He's a good one, that David Dean is. It was so nice of you to support Cyrena and David spending time together. I love this picture of the girls with him. You are one lucky girl, but I think he might he a bit luckier than you.
Hahaha Phil said that David is putting the rest of "us" dads to shame!! I'm glad you had a good Mothers Day!!!
Oh my I LOVE the pictures!!! Esp of the three of them! Only thing is you were missing!! We need to get you a tripod!
Sounds like a great weekend. congrats on being so lucky!!
sweet! =)
You're gonna make me cry! I need to find a "David" one day. He treats you and your girls so well. You really are very lucky.
Your kids are too cute!!
A daddy and his girls...from what I'm told there is nothing better:) It is a tie with a boy and his daddy. Those pic's are so sweet.
I wouldn't call it lucky, but David is really great. You definitely knew what you were doing marrying him.
I got teary-eyed and then you made me laugh with the thought of David making up a song. Oh, what a story teller you are. I have to say those pictures of Natalie just made me crave a cute little chubby 6-month-old baby. Why can't they just be born like that? I guess you wouldn't appreciate that stage if they came out that way though.
I'm so glad you had a great mother's day. You have been a mother to many, even me at times, so I'm glad you were celebrated in style!
I am so glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day. That DAvid Dean is definitely a keeper. ;0) Which is a good thing cause I think he would keep you for time & all eternity! What a wonderful family you have Jenna. I am so glad we are friends. LOVE those pics of Natalie's photo shoot especially that b&W one with her smiling up at you. Perfection! Happy Mother's Day!
Happy late mother's day!! I'm glad yours was great!! You have such cute kiddos. Natalie is so yummy-- I love the pictures of her. Did you get a new fancy camera? You take such neat pics lately!! And I must say go David! He sure does now how to spoil you and you deserve it!!
