Mother's Day 2010

What a great day. Actually a great weekend. Saturday was a little stressful but fun. Got to eat at Central Market with my boys and then off to Jake's Loft. Love me some Jake's Loft. Got to see Courtney and Lil Teri and their crew at Jake's. I so wish William's soccer game hadn't got moved. We would have had a blast at CM drinking some wine. After William's game we headed on over to Mary's for a cookout with my Mom and Oma. Boy was Mom surprised when Mike opened the door. He came in from Cali to surprise her. Sunday was all mine. I got to sleep in until 8. Woot! Yes 8 is sleeping in for the Harrison's. I have no idea why my boys can't sleep in. Even if they go to bed really late their happy butts are still up by 8 at the latest. I am sure they will grow out of that at some point. Hopefully. My amazing boys got me an iPad for a gift. It was completely unexpected. I was thinking a spa day was in my future. It has been so much fun playing with it. It is like crack. Rachel please step away from the pipe. It was off to Don Taco for lunch where we completely pigged out and off to soccer, again. The season that never ends. The best part was that I got to spend time with my boys doing what I wanted, well almost. The greatest gift Doug ever gave me was those three amazing boys. I stand amazed when I look into William and Jake's face and remember Ryan. I did that. Well with some help. I have wanted since I was a little girl to be a Mommy. Not just to have a living doll but someone that was a part of me. I couldn't wait to teach them their ABC's or colors or about the stars. It is just wonderful. And that poem is so true. To be a Mom is to accept that your heart will walk around outside of your body for the rest of your life. I just pray they will always have room in theirs for me.
Much Love to all the Moms!

January Bdays All Done

Now the Jan/ Feb birthday fest for the Harrison Crew is now officially done. On Thursday Doug decided he just wanted to stay home, order pizza and watch a movie so that is what we did. That is what I did on my birthday. It is nice to just not have to go somewhere or do something. We watched City of Ember. Liked that movie. Jake of course was up and down but William really enjoyed it. Now I want to read those books. On Sunday we went to Central Market in Southlake to meet Randy, Dave, Chris and the girls. I was sick on Saturday so I was a little worried about going. The good news is the tummy issues on Saturday were food related and not a stomach bug. On Sunday morning the cramps and chills were gone so I felt like it was just bad food. Thank goodness. After talking to Barnes I did not want to get the stomach flu like she and Ken had. Yuck. We really enjoyed ourselves at Central Market. The weather was perfect. It was a little windy so most people were inside instead of out like they usually are on weekends. I also learned that they serve breakfast until noon. The kids got breakfast food and were so glad. The chocolate chip pancakes were a hit. Ethan's breakfast tacos looked Yummy as well. The boys played and played and Ethan even got to come over to the "adult" table and talk. Jake had to wear his cape. He was flying around the place. Doug said someone made a comment that a super hero was on the playground and Jake put his hands up like it's me. Of course I took a ton of pictures. I am really getting addicted to taking them. I need to get "Doug" a new lens. Using the nice lens is hard sometimes because it is long and you can't get close. Oh well. Just put it on the wish list.
Take care,
Raye
