My Mother's Day!

I had a pretty good Mother's Day, my kids went pretty much the whole day without fighting, arguing, and whining. And, Ellie played with my hair for several hours. I love it when she plays with my hair, it is so relaxing and it gives the two of us some time to talk. I found out that she has a crush on Wyatt (cute kid), and I also found out that when she grows up she wants to get married in the St. George Temple, even though it isn't the Temple we live by. She said it's the temple she wants to get married in cause then she will be just like her daddy and I. She is a funny girl. She made me several cards for Mother's Day. I got quite a kick out of this one that she made at school in her computer class. If you cannot read this one it says, Special Mother's Day on the front and then you open it and it says- I love you, you are great, then on the other side it says - We love you, mom we think. I read this and Ray and I laughed pretty hard and then she told me to turn the card over and that is where I read, You are great. Of course it made me laugh even harder. This one is a cute envelope she made with CAN-DO-COUPONS she made for me. They say that she will do some chores for me with a can-do-smile on her face, and that she told me they never expire. :) One coupon says she will do everything in a day that I do. And then the other one states that she will clean the house, do the dishes and put the laundry away and, that she will be happy. I love this girl.This card reads, Dear Mommy, I love you. Happy Mothers Day. I hope you have the most best mothers day ever. This one came with a hug and a kiss from her. :)This is from Jake. It is a little bouquet of flowers that he made at school, and a little book card that he made as well. It reads, Happy Mother's Day and then it reads, I'm cute as a button. I'm sure you agree, I really do love you. I am glad you love me! I hope you have a Happy Mother's Day! Love Jake and then their is a picture of him. How cute!!!My visiting Teachers brought me by this beautiful Gerber Daisy. They are my favorite flower, so it made my day to get this plant. They also brought by some chocolate peanut butter chip cup cakes which my kids loved eating.

I got a watch from Ray and the kids. It is a Seiko, and I really love it. My watch broke a few months back, so I was definitely needing a new one. Ray took Ellie on Saturday to pick out a gift for me, and this is he watch she was sure I would love. On Saturday I took the kids into town to do a bit of shopping, and the grocery store was giving out carnations to all moms. I chose a white one, although Ellie was hoping I would choose a colored one. The white ones looked fresher, and I wanted mine to last the whole week, which it has. We also stopped by this other store and they had a tent set up where they were helping kids plant a flower for their mom's for free, and then they helped the kids pick out some pegs, and stickers to decorate the pot. (how nice of the store)

All in all it was a very relaxing day, and I enjoyed just being lazy with my kids, and Ray. I love being a mommy, and would not trade motherhood for all the gold and silver in the world. Thank you Ray, Ellie and Jake for making my Mother's Day so special. I LOVE YOU!!!
