mother's day

i had a wonderful day. i was instructed that i had HAD to sleep in. when isaiah couldn't handle it anymore he came in and woke me up at 7:30. yes, that's sleeping in.

he had picked out a bouquet of flowers for me that were sitting on the table, along with his choice of breakfast...cinnamon rolls. they had paintings on the table that they had both worked on, and then presented me with the card. a snoopy card with music. it all happened in about 20 seconds.

we headed to church where they took family pictures. after church we stopped for some lunch to eat on the way to lexington. we were off to see the hundreds of horse farms, something i had really wanted to do. the kids fell asleep on the way there and woke up when we arrived.

absolutely beautiful. what you'd think kentucky looks like. miles and miles of rolling hills. perfectly manicured green, green grass, with fences lining the way. matt had done some research and we stopped at one of the farms. we had the place to ourselves. one of the workers took us over to the mare and foal area. they had 116 foals born at the farm this year. the oldest was 3 weeks old, the youngest 3 days. we loved it. after talking for a while he also mentioned that one of their horses, born and raised at the farm, took 2nd at the derby this year. we had no idea.








we took our time driving home, stopping at some state parks and lakes along the way. it was a fantastic day with the family.
