Happy Mother's Day

I look forward to Mother's Day because I get to get pictures with each of my boys for the scrapbook. It's a tradition that started a few years before my mom passed. I'm so glad I started it! So I actually have pictures of me and Mom together that I can cherish. This year we chose the front yard for the location. We were too pooped to party anywhere else and hey, we have the built in bench (aka. the tree that we felled like 2 MONTHS ago. Haven't gotten rid of it yet so why not use it?!). We have this group shot and then Dan had the boys each give me a kiss when he took the picture! Love, love, love it! The only thing that would have been better would be to have Jess and Thomas with us on Mother's Day but they were on a little vacation, seeing her folks in Idaho. Travis was happy to come hang with us.

I started my day with Chandler waking me with breakfast in bed. He has piles of scrambled eggs for the eyes, a spot of syrup for the nose and bacon placed in a happy face smile. He also made me this really neat heart shaped dish out of clay. I have to find a good spot for it on my desk. Ransom made me a card that was so sweet! Trevor made us dinner of bacon wrapped hot dogs with chili over it. Not my fav. but he made it so happily, I wasn't going to argue about that. We played Apples to Apples after that. I never win that silly game! The boys play it the way you put the most outrageous things for the category. How can I match that? Still, it was fun and I love hearing my boys laugh. Poor Dan had a wicked headache so he wasn't feeling so festive. Oh, lest you think my honey forget to get me a gift, he got me an iTouch a bit early!!! It's so cool. I can even surf the net and watch youtube while in bed. Love wireless internet! I guess I could put movies on it too but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Hope your Mother's Day was good too!
