and then she was gone....lol

Well my momma left yesterday.

How sad....but she didn't leave empty handed! Check this out!

I took Mom over to F&M Fabric. I love that place....and she had a blast. We dug through all kinds of material. She loved this fabric. The pictures really do this no justice. It's such a beautiful pattern. She loved it, so I'm totally happy with it.

It was so nice having my Mom around. I don't ever really miss home until family comes to visit and then they leave...lol. I really do wish we lived closer, so I could spend more time with her, but hey....this is where we are. Would someone please go and buy her house! LOL It's been on the market for a while and it's a complete fixer upper, but dang....couldn't some rich and creative soul buy it! Geez. I showed my Mom around Bakersfield and she liked it pretty well. She really loved my house. I do too...lol. She got to meet our new puppy Trixie. This is the funniest pic ever. My Mom weighs a whopping 105 lbs...soaking wet...lol....and Trixie is only 3 months old! This pic shows one of two things.....either my mom is super tiny or my puppy is f-n ginormous! Check it out.

Love that pic.....Mom bought the kiddos these really cute trays, and gave them breakfast every morning on them...lol

So needless to say, the kiddos were spoiled rotten and I was too. Mom watched the kiddos so we could go out to eat with some friends and we got many breaks. And of course I started to get sick on Monday....at least it was the end of her trip. I drove her down to LA yesterday, so she could catch her flight. Funny story......I dropped Mom off at the airport and Madi and Jaxon asked where Gam-Gam was going. I told them it was time for her to go home. They said home, cried for a few then went on about their business.....so after and hour and ahalf drive, we roll up into our driveway and they start shouting....GAM GAM GAM GAM. I didn't really think they would connect our home with her.....boy they're quick. So I had to tell them she flew home.....not our home, but her home back in Texas.....cue the screaming crying and fit throwing....YIKES. They were bummed.....but no worries, we'll head out to Texas in April and see her again. I think I will go and kidnap her and make her move to Bako. That would be nice....lol. So, I'm sick as a dog, exhausted from having company, and mildly depressed. All in all...it was a nice trip! Miss you already momma. And one last thing....I've lost a total of 19 pounds!!!! Weighed in today! YAY!
