What a weekend!

This weekend was quite eventful and very fun. Friday night I graduated with my Master's degree in education from William Carey (FINALLY). I started this program before Collin was even thought of. Between building a house, two children, and work, finishing the program took a back seat to say the least. Yay for no more papers and tuition!! :) :) I honestly think Kyle is more excited about this than I am ;)

Saturday morning we got up and ready to attend the traditional crawfish boil with Kyle's friends from MC. This year was the first year we brought the kids for some reason. They had a blast and played with lots of other little people. My how this event has changed from the B.C. (before children) years!

Collin and Pace in the Perrett's fantastic tree house!

B having a grand time!

Collin is not only serious about playing with crawfish. He is serious about eating them too. He can almost peel them by himself.

Collin would say this was the most exciting part of the weekend. The first harvest of the year! 

Of course the best part of the weekend was waking up on Mother's Day to two bed-headed kiddos squealing for me to come into the kitchen to see what they had for me for Mother's Day. We all four sat down for breakfast (which NEVER happens, especially not on a Sunday). It was really very sweet! Collin was sooo proud of the plant he picked out for me, so of course it had to be in the picture. Here we are before leaving for church.

After a wonderful church service and afternoon, the Reid crew, Nana, and Lolly and Poppy came over for dinner.

Aunt Casey totally outdid herself on the dessert! Yes that is a cake underneath all the candy craziness. Delish!

We are SO incredibly blessed to call them "Mother."
