Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day at Church 2012

 I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and each Mother's Day you can usually plan on two things.  1.  The children sing some songs during the Sacrament Meeting 2.  A little gift to all the women in the congregation.  Usually the gift is a flower, or candy.  Last year I got candles with a nice poem, the year before a church DVD.  This year I got these:

A little Pearl Necklaces and a little Forget Me Not flower Grow Kit

And the Kids went up and sang Mother I love you, and  Mother Tell Me the Story.  They did such a great job!

Then the kids went to Nursery and Primary and made me these:

Hand shape flowers from Ruth and Irene
A wheel of how they love me from Dillon and Jennilyn

The wheels from Dillon and Jennilyn had answers to questions.  They were so cute.  Here they are:

They Say Happy Mother's Day!  I Love You!

And then you turn it to read what it says:

Her favorite Popsicle is... Blue

Jennilyn's Wheel:

My Mother is 30 years old and has black hair.

Her favorite Popsicle is... Grape

She Spends Lots of time ... taking care of me

Her Favorite Color is .... Purple

She shows me love by...giving me hugs and kisses

If my mother were a superhero she'd be...Wonder Woman

I loved getting these little gifts from my kids!  It was amazing well Jennilyn knows her mom at only 4 years old.  

Until Next year!

Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.  And I am proud to say that I am a mom of 4 great kids!  This morning after my husband left for work, the kids and I just sat on the couch cuddling and they were telling me all about their dreams last night.  Now that I have a child in school, it is fun to see what he brings home as each holiday approaches.  Yesterday he brought home a little card with his picture on it and this questioner that they had him answer the questions to.  It is funny the way kids see things, and I loved the answers.

Side note:  My kids do not get medicine everyday, but when I tell them they need to take it, they usually take it with out fighting me!


I hope every Mom has a great Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day 2011

This week Dillon brought home a Mother's Day Card for me!  What I love is his attempt to sign his name!

And here is a collage of the rest of the card!

It is so nice to be entering into that time in my life when my kids will be bring home all the artwork or special projects for me!  I love all of my kids and can't wait to see what the future holds for us together!

Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day.  And I am grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mom to 4 sweet little kids.  For Mother's Day I celebrated yesterday for the most part.  I went to lunch with a long time friend and then I went to Costco in Lehi and I bought a new cookbook about preparing meals and freezing them two weeks in advance.  I had gone to school with the author so it was great to see her again after so long. And then one of my favorite artist was at Costco too, Greg Olsen.  I bought a new picture of Christ knocking at the door that I had never seen before and he signed it for me, now I just have to get a frame for it.  Then I came home and spent the rest of the day with Dan and the kids.

Today, we went to church and we stayed for the whole thing.  This is saying something.  You see we have sacrament meeting last and so by that time the twins are ready for naps, but won't sleep in our arms so we usually leave right after the sacrament is passed.  Today the kids did fairly well threw the whole meeting.  I really enjoyed our Sacrament meeting today.  The songs were wonderful and then instead of a flower they gave us a church DVD called On the Lord's errand about President Monson.  We are planning to watch it tomorrow for FHE.  It has been a good day!

I want to say thanks to my mom and to my mother-in law for the love and support they have given Dan and I over the years.  Thank You and I hope you both have a great Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!
