Mother Day 2008

Hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day! I am a big fan of holidays, and especially Mother's Day as I see it as a celebration of Mother & Sisterhood. I'm so thankful for the wonderful Mother I have been blessed with, who is always there for me even over the miles. Hardly a day goes by we don't chat with her. I also have been blessed with a wonderful and sweet Mother-in-Law to which I never expected nor dreamed of always hearing such horror stories about In-Laws. I'm thankful for the good friends who inspire me to be a better person and a better mother by their examples and their positive attitudes.

I think my favorite part about My Mother's day this year was that all church meetings were canceled and I had John with us ALL DAY LONG! John made me pancakes for breakfast and we were actually on time for church! The men took over at church so us women could attend both Sunday School and Relief Society. By the time I made it to SS all seats were taken and so I spent the hour in the halls just outside the primary room which provided good comic relief. The fellas did a fantastic job and it was nice not to have to do anything for the last 2 hrs of church but to just soak it all in!

I love Mother's Day for so many reasons. McKenna brought home this cute little plant from school, love the paper butterfly that's with it. John was instructed not to buy me anything as I got myself a few too many things already this month, mostly in the form of media entertainment. He did get me Rascal Flatts' new CD which is quite good.

I post last 2 pictures these because Tyler has discovered a new love for Brushing her teeth and a new fascination with the electric tooh brush. The 1st picture she is actually saying "cheese" which caught me off guard because I didn't ask her too and she knew to just say it for the camera. Apparently the camera is out a lil too often.
