Mom wanted to go hiking on mothers days, so we went to Hitchcock nature center. We had a wonderful time observing the flowers and birds.
This bird is a Rose breasted grosbeak. Isn't he lovely?
This bird is a eastern Towhee, we think. :)
Afterward we went to the small town of Missouri valley, and guess what?! They had a wonderful little ice cream place! Their tornado's (similar to dairy queen's blizzards) were excellent!
I was privileged to make my mom a flower arrangement for mother's day. :) This bouquet is the second real bouquet that I have made, the first one was some flowers my lovely friend Hannah bought for me to arrange for my birthday (all the non-bouquets were just buying a 6.99 bundle from the grocery store and re-arranging it). This time I went straight to the flower shop, and I had a clear idea of the flowers that I wanted for the bouquet in my head. When we got home I put together the bouquet, following directions in a library book I checked out. Let me tell you, the entire time I was buying the flowers and arranging them I was sooo excited and thrilled to finally be making a real bouquet!
Here is the finished product!
The bouquet was made up of purple daisies, green mums, lilies (the lilies are not open yet), babies breath and bells of Ireland (one of my favorites!)
I Love you very much mom! You are the bestest mom ever! I hope your day was special, because you are soo worth it. :D

That is one Bouquet! nice job.
Did you know that we drive by Dairy Den on the way to my aunts house and every time we go by I think, "Ice Cream really sounds good right now."
What flavor did you get?
That bouquet is gorgeous! The colors are great!
