Mother's Day

I have decided that I love Mother's Day! I am so grateful for my own wonderful mother, know so many great other's, and being one myself is even more special. I am so blessed for this opportunity, and am trying my best not to take it for granted.

Yesterday morning I received chocolate and strawberries on pancakes(Scott said he thought anything sugar inducing would probably be good) and it was delicious, and Scott's gift to me was a "Willow Tree" statue called "A Child's Touch". I was so excited when I saw it! I have wanted something like that for a long time.
Funny Story:
I also received a dark chocolate bar from Scott, and then I noticed an almost half eaten one sitting on the counter with smudged up sides. Scott said that when he wasn't looking David climbed up, opened it(this is one of those HUGE ones) threw away the evidence and went under the kitchen table to snarf it down. Even though I think it's naughty, it's funny when you're just told about it! I laughed!

After church we went over to Rick and Heidi's house for a family dinner, and my brother J joined us as well. Scott and Russ barbecued Mesquite marinaded pork chops and we had tons of other amazing food(provided by the husbands) to go with it. I should have taken a picture of them barbecuing but I have a hard time remembering to get everything and everyone. We love hanging out with Rick and Heidi and kids though, and it was also a blast to have J there as well.

That is hilarious about the chocolate thing. David is sooo cute(and a little too smart). You are a great mom.
