Happy Mother's Day!

I had a fabulous Mother's Day weekend. Friday night Todd and Evan went on their first father's and son's camping trip and had a blast. All day saturday we worked out in the yard getting a small garden planted. The kids had a blast playing in their kiddie pool in the shade. That evening we grilled hamburgers, stuffed jalepenos, corn-on-the-cob, and watermelon. It was a beautiful day too!

Today Todd woke up just before 6 and made me a special breakfast in bed (something he has never done for me before). He made and "adult" grilled cheese sandwich that he had heard about from someone at work. Since he had never made it before, he got up extra early so he could figure it out. It was so sweet! He even made a little menu with checkmarks and had the kids bring it in to me (of course he had the preferred meal choice starred and frist on the list). It was adorable and made the day so special.

All in all, this has been the best Mother's Day I have ever had. I absolutely am in LOVE with being a mother!

Easter Pictures

I took these pictures the week after Easter since I worked Easter sunday. We spent a whole 10 minutes at the temple with the wind blowing my hair in front of my face. I prayed I got some good pictures and I was very pleased.

I wish, I wish

I think most of the comments I make about this house start with those two words. Today I want to make my house mine by throwing paint on the walls and getting more decorations up. Then I decide on colors and realized EVERYTHING clashes with the horrid green carpet. I wish.... I could replace this carpet!

I'm caught in the place where I want all the fix-ups done at once, and there isn't enough money to do even one of them. All in time, I know!

Wish We Had Our Garden

So the last post told of sprinklers not being fixed, which now are Yay! I've realized the reality of how much lawn we have when I did the first mowing... with a push lawn mower. Holy cow! All I can say is that I better lose some weight this summer!

We took the kids to the temple grounds this morning to take some pictures of them in their Easter clothes. I love that my kids pretend to be royalty and the temple is so special to them. Evan is always saying things about "when I get married in the temple..."

So, with the last post I said I hope the sprinklers would be fixed soon, and now they are! With that said, the next post should have our garden going. I can wish, right?

We did get our playset put back up. Now our yard looks like our yard, and the kids are really happy. As we were digging through stuff, both of the kids found their life jackets and wore them around all day. Evan even added his bike helmet. It's pretty bad when the parents put together the playset, and the kids play on it wearing bike helmets and life jackets. Don't they trust us?
