Happy Day...

Today was a happy day...Mother's day and Granny's actual birthday! My kids and hubby are so sweet to me...it was a great day!

We went to church and church was so great, great speakers, great lessons. I was in YW's and in comes hubby to serve all of us leaders with a yummy cinnamon roll and strawberries, what a treat! The best part (for the girls) is then the Bishop came in and said all the girls get to have a cinnamon roll and strawberries too! That just made their day! :)
Right after church we went to Granny's for lunch.
Sam performed the bagpipes for us, so COOL!

Granny got a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, she LOVES it! She told us of a story when her kids were little and they weren't going to get a Christmas tree. Her kids were so sad so she said OK we will go but we have to find a tree that only cost $1. So off they went to the Christmas tree farm. They saw the worst looking tree in the place and asked the man if they could buy it for $1. The man said, "oh lady, you don't want that tree, that's a Charlie Brown tree!" She had no idea at this time what that meant. She said "so can we have it for $1?" He said, "I wouldn't sell you that tree!" So Granny said, "you mean we can HAVE it!" He said, "yes, you can have it!" Uncle Bob held the tree out the window the whole way home and when they got home her kids decorated it. She thought it was the most beautiful tree they ever had. From that time on she always would go to the Christmas tree farm and look for the worst tree in the lot. A Charlie Brown tree!

Then we had a performance by Sam, Timmy and Jack on their violins.

We left Granny's and stopped by Terry and Janelle's to say Happy Mother's Day and then we came home and Jake and the kids made me dinner in bed. A BLT with strawberries and I LOVED every minute of it. I finished dinner and stayed in bed and read my book. I felt so spoiled.

and while I was reading I popped open my gift from Sierra and enjoyed. It was a can and the label said "PULL TAB, The contents of this can are to be used purely for the treatment of stress due to motherhood. When feeling such ailments, procure quiet room, lock door, and consume immediately. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!"

Inside were peanut M&M's and pretzel M&M's, 2 of my fav, so yummy!

Sierra also wrote a poem and gave it to me, Jake's mom, my mom, Sophi, Briana and Miriam.
"Mother's Day Poem"

Mother's special day only comes once a year,

For aunts, grammys, grandmas that we hold so dear,

Without them, life would never be complete,

Until the first moment you really meet,

So show them you love them, give them a rose or two,

Then tell them mommy, grandma, auntie...

I LOVE YOU!!

I am grateful to be a mommy!

A Crazy Weekend...

but oh so GREAT! Started on Friday, I received an invitation from Ashton to come to the MPR at school on Friday at 11am and attend a Mother's Day Tea. I just love being with my kids so it was such a treat. They sang us a song..."4 hugs a day" and then Ms. Kim read us a book, "I'll Love You Forever", I was a wreck! :) We got to eat yummy treats and they had lemonade and tea to drink. I just stuck with lemonade. :)

Now in this picture Ashton is not sad, he says it's his baby face because he's my baby...yes, I think I've ruined him. :)

Ashton made me a special pot and planted me a flower that is my favorite color, PINK! Not pictured, but he also made me a clay dish and painted it and said I can put my rings in it. :)

Then we went to Grammy's for leftover tacos and there was a duck in her pool with her babies, we enjoyed sitting out there and watching them, the babies were so cute, they stuck right by there mommy's side.


Friday night was Dad's for dinner and swimming.

Jake and Ashton went to the Father Son campout but did not sleep there and they were kicked out at 8pm because they had to move the car out...so they came over to Dad's too.

Then on Saturday morning Jake was up super early and headed back to the campground to cook everyone breakfast. He made breakfast burritos for everyone and they were all saying how good it was, so my husband CAN cook afterall! :)

Then when he got home I helped with clean up, dishes, returning grills, all that jazz.

Then we were off to Ashton's game.

Our babysitter came, Briana brought her kids over and we all headed to the temple to do a session with our family for Grannie's birthday.

After the temple we all went to Grannie's house for her birthday party with Stonefire and cake and icecream.
