Getting ready to go

It was kind of a Mother's Day weekend. Friday we went and rented movies and Wii games with the kids. Saturday we were going to pack, but played instead. In the afternoon we went up to my mom's for a cookout. It was a lot of fun. Good food, good people and a couple games of speed basketball that showed me just how old I am. We had a lot of fun. We gave my mom tickets to see "America" this summer and she was so excited she cried. Then my sisters surprised her with a card and flowers from Macy's grocery store where they both work. Macy's did a fundraiser for my mom and dad. People are amazing, my mom was speechless. Then on Sunday we went to church where I proceeded to cry through relief society. My time is running out up north and I think it is all hitting me. We have been promising the kids we would go on an adventure this weekend since the weather was decent. What is an adventure? Well we go exploring, most of the time it is in the river bottoms below our house. That is where we went this time. It was a lot of fun, the kids are so sure that there is mountain lions and bears down there. We found deer bones, a mountain lion ( a cat), a unicorn (a horse), deer tracks, old cars, and lots of spiders. After our adventure we went over to Ben's dad's house for a cookout. It was nice, good food.

People who know me well know that I'm not a huge fan of Mother's Day. I wish I knew where exactly that stems from, but I think I have an idea. This years Mother's Day was 50 million times better than last years!! I am thankful for my kids. Each one of them brings something different to my life. They are growing so fast, makes me sad some days. We were on our ride back from my mom's on Saturday and Jarrett grabbed my hand and held it all the way home. I just thought that that won't be happening to many more times. I am thankful for the moments that I get to experience with my kids. I love that there is things that only I get to experience with them. They are amazing and I feel blessed to share their lives. I want my mom and Ben's mom to know how much I love them and appreciate all they do for me and my family. I know I'm not the best at this whole mom thing, but I am trying.
