What a Special Weekend

This weekend has been such a great weekend for me!  Starting the weekend off was a momentous occasion for me. . . I officially graduated with my Doctorate!!  Wahoo!

I had my heart set on walking in graduation as this one is certainly my last!  So with a one month baby in tow, I made it happen (with a lot of help from Matt and my mom). 

 Getting Hooded was pretty special especially considering my advisor and fabulous mentor is the Senior Dean of Academics, Dr. Linda Norman.  She officially placed  my graduation hood. 

 Sunday was another special day, Mother's Day!  The boys proudly gave me the cards and gifts they had made at school.  Wyatt's gift included this box of love with a song he sang.  It was so precious!

Walker presented me with his sweet handprint card.

Wyatt also had made a book about mom.  This page is one of my favs.  I absolutely love the drawing of me with baby on the boppy.  :)

 

 I also got another photo charm to add to my necklace that I wear almost everyday.  Matt spoiled both me and my mom by making a delicious lunch at the house.  Afterwards the boys went outside to enjoy the beautiful day and play with Grammie.  Once they were worn out, they helped present Grammie with her special Mother's Day gifts.

 Thanks to Pinterest, I worked with each of the kids to make kitchen towels or gifts.  This was quite a feat but they did turn out so cute!

 

 The rest of the day was spent watching the boys play and enjoy the sunshine and cuddling with sweet Lillian.  Such a great Mother's day! 

 I am so blessed to have such a wonderful little family and be a mother to 3 fabulous children!!

 

(Finally, had to include this pic as it sums out how crazy wild my middle babe was this weekend!  You can see where he gets his crazy antics from.  LOL!!)

Additional photo add

This picture was taken by one of the photographers at the reception after graduation.  I absolutely love it as it perfectly depicts my joy!

 This is the official DNP hooding.  Yay!
