Mother’s Day

 I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! At church after sacrament meeting all the young women and older women had a lesson together and ate yummy fruit parfaits. It was fun to sit with Tenley! We went for a walk as a family this afternoon to enjoy the sunshine but before that Brad and the kids were up to some shenanigans! I had no idea what they were doing until I opened my gifts. They were all so sweet! Ryder drew me a picture, Tenley made me a bracelet and a keychain. Kade made me a card with a coupon for a car cleaning and then he pulled out a gift that brought me to tears! When he was in kindergarten his kindergarten teacher had the kids make frames for their moms and then put their picture in it with a statement about why they love their mom. Kade had said, "I love you because...you kiss me before bed." I've had that frame in my bathroom ever since. Well they decided to recreate it for me! And everyone joined in! It was seriously the sweetest thing! Kade said, "I love you because...you read scriptures with me." Tenley said, "I love you because...you are an amazing cook." Ryder said, "I love you because...you practice the piano with me." And Luke said, "I love you because...you give me hugs." It's definitely my favorite gift ever!! Major props to Brad for pulling it off!

I also got to talk to my beautiful mom tonight. And I've thought a lot about other women and mothers who are such wonderful example to me. It was a great day!
