Mother's Day at My House

Mother's Day was actually very relaxed and enjoyable. I woke up at 2:30 AM and couldn't go back to sleep, so I didn't think we were off to a good start. Fortunately, Matthew was ready for a nap at 9, so Rob and I napped, too. Hurray! Almost felt like sleeping in!This week is Finals Week, so I wasn't expecting to see much of Rob, but was pleasantly surprised. I love spending time with my 2 favorite guys. Here are a few glimpses at my day:

Somebody cheesin' it up for skyping with Grandma, Grandpa & his Aunties (Sparks).

DELICIOUS grapes! Something about Mother's Day screams flowers and FRUIT!

My father-in-law makes a delicious veggie dip. I decided that it would make a lovely addition to our day. Rob & I like to use it on roast beef sandwiches, as well as veggies. I'd planned ahead and made a roast in the crockpot Saturday so it would be cool and easy to cut for Sunday. I also sliced up some celery, cucumbers, cauliflower and carrots. Yum! If you want to try the dip, here's the recipe:

1 C Mayonnaise

1 C Sour Cream

2 t Bon Appetite (seasoning)

2 t Dill Weed

2 t Onion Powder

I'd spotted this recipe on Pinterest and decided it was worthy of my weekend. I whipped up this Strawberry Yogurt Cake and it didn't disappoint! Fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt and some lemon juice/zest make it very moist and tasty. (By the way, the above picture is from online because I oopsed when I took it out of my bundt pan. lol! mine wasn't quite as pretty.)

Lastly, a gift from my guys. We have a ton of hummingbirds around here and I've been wanting a feeder. My husband apparently had the same idea (I don't remember ever mentioning it to him). SO THOUGHTFUL! And of course, iTunes is always fun. Got my mom's recipe for hummingbird feed and am gonna whip up a batch while listening to some new tunes.

Hope everyone out there had a wonderful Mother's Day, too!
