Mama's Day | amee's Blog

    The Morning of mothers day Mom decided to go to church. So doing as Mom please everyone woke up early and got our best looking dresses and right away there was a line to get into the main bathroom down the hall. I was at the back and so mad! I had the worst night after getting out of the shower I didnt blow dry my hair so it turned out looking like well frizzy it sucked.

    After making it into the bathroom I hit up the straightener and fixed my messy hair and put on some make up and went down stairs. Dad had just given Mom her flowers, they were so pretty they were blue and white and there was a card in the middle. She leaned over and kissed him then they walked out to the truck.

     When we got to our church we got our pew and about thirty minutes of women coming up to my Mom and telling her "Happy Mothers Day!" Over and over again and praising her because she has raised twevel children. I was so ready to leave. And church had not even started.

     When church ended we drove straight home and began to get ready for the bbq that we were having to celebrate mothers day. Dad got dressed in his knee high shorts and his Spurs t shirt while Mark and Pres helped him cut the meat and pre pare the grill. While the women of the house were in the kitchen making tea and making tray's of food for our family memebers that were coming over.

    I was so bored, I wanted to just fall asleep. I'm not really into cooking. I mean I like to cook but it's kind of boring. I need help doing everything.  Christina and Hayden stood over the counter cutting selerey sticks and placing them into the tray. Mandy and Tonya were making french dip and putting chips on a plate. And there I was looking around wondering what the heck  I was supose to do!

   Then Mom called me into the kitchen. I turned and looked at her. "Yes Mom?" I asked. "Here stir the beans and make sure that they dont stick to the pot." She said. I sighed and stired the beans. Then the phone rang.

    Mom walked over to the phone and answered it. "Hello?, Oh yes she is, just a moment." She put the phone to her chest and Motioned for Christina to come over to her. "It's Rolland and he wants to talk to you." She said. "Oh, really?" She said. Mom had this disgusted look upon her face as she handed Christina the phone and Christina walked into the breakfast room. I herd her whisper. "I told you to call me on my cell."  Her and Rolland need to end  it and fast! Before Dad finds out that he is running up her phone bill.

    After ten minutes of stiring the beans Mom moved me to the table to make a giant bowel of salad.  About an hour later our relivtive's started showing up. First was Grandma and Grandpa she braught a green jello thingy, and Grandpa walked straight into the livingroom and turned on football and yelled. "Gena! I need a drink!" Mom laughed and braught him some fresh made tea.  "Thanks, dear." He said sipping Mom's famous tea.

    Then walked in Aunt Helen and Uncle Larry she had a gift for Mom and she began to help Mom cook in the kitchen and Uncle Larry walked straight to the livingroom, uncle Troy and Aunt Donna and my favorite cousin Michael showed up. He hugged me and I hugged him and he helped cook, then Aunt Shelly showed up with her husbend who wen to the livingroom. The of all people who I never wanted to see in my house again, Aunt Kelly and Uncle Michael and there three crazy mean kids walked in wearing the tiniest swin suits ever made and thier hair was all perfect.

    Once they started to cook Michael Christina and I left the cooking area. We decided to go outside to the back yard where Dad and Uncle Timmy and Uncle Billy where grilling the bbq. They were talking and telling jokes and sipping on their beers. Michael and Christina and I pilled onto the hammeck.

     "I cant believe she showed up." Christina said. "I know, I dont even know why she even came did your parents invite her?" Michael asked. "Probably." I said. Then Rolland walked over. "Hey Christina." He said. She got up and walked over to him. "Whose that?" Michael asked. "Her new boyfriend." I said. "Oh, my goodness she could do some much better." He said laughing. "I know, Dad hates him and she doesnt relize that Dad will throw him into the fire if he see's him even step foot in our yard." I said, we laughed. Then she hugged him and he left.

    About and hour later Mom asked me to set up the blow up water slide and slip in slide. Michael helped me and as soon as the slide was up our younger cousin's and my little brothers and sisters went crazy on it.  I didnt notice it at first but Uncle Michael braught our his boat. It was hudge! I've never seen nothing like it. We walked over to it and looked at it. Then Michael touched this button and these steps came out.

        "High tech huh?" Michael said. We laughed. Michael started walking up the steps. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Looking around come on he cant see us." He said. So Christina and I walked up into the boat and looked around it. It was all clean and everything was all perfect.

    Then as we looked around Kristen and Kori and Mckayla walked out. "What are you guys doing in Daddy's boat?" Kristen asked. "Just looking around." Michael said. "Well, were taking it out on the lake, you guys can come. I guess." She smirked.  She was right after eating bbq Uncle Michael drove everyone down to the lake. When we got there some stayed on the shallow side with Mom mostly the aunts stayed except for Aunt Kelly she hoped into binki and layed getting a tan on the boat.

    We stood around as Uncle Michael handed all the guys fishing poles. "You gal's wana race?" Kori and McKayla asked. "Race?" I asked. "Did I studder?" McKayla asked. "No, but where's the starting line and the finish line?" I asked. We got into our swim suits and walked down the steps and jumped into the water Michael had to make a sceen by jumping off the boat and doing a dive into the water. "Ok, Start is at this rock and you have to pass the boat turn around and end the race." Kori said. "Ok, this should be easy." I asked to Michael. "What? Easy? Fine well make it interesting who ever loses has to uhm... Has to humm...." She thought for a second. "Dont hert yourself Mckayla." I said.

   "Who ever loses has to pay the winner fifty bucks on the spot." I said. "Ok, fine let's getting ready. On you mark get set GO!" She yelled we shot off and I couldent really see who was ahead of me or behind me.  Then I noticed that Mckayla was right next to me. "Give up already you down even have fifty dallors do you?" She giggled doing a back stroke. "Go Amee!" Michael yelled. I laughed and passed her up and made it to the finish line. "Yeah!!!" I screamed. McKayla hit the water with her hands and began to go up the stairs. "Pay up!" I yelled. She screamed and got her money and gave it to me. I was so happy that I made fifty buck's off of winning a stupid bet. But hey I can go shopping I can go shopping! Yeay!
