1. My Scheming husband. We recently downgraded our cable- we figure the less TV the better. There are certain exceptions however, and so when Jake found out that the Jazz playoff game wasn't on our list of few channels he started scheming.... we ended up going to my cousin's in-laws house to watch it in their theater room. LOL.

2. A project working husband. Saturday Jake (Josh helped) worked hard ALL day long on the boys' bathroom. He got all the (beautiful) tile up around the tub and the new sub-floor in!!! We might have been able to get the floor tile in too except for the huge time that had to be spent drilling the plumbing holes in the shower tiles.

3. The best one-year-old birthday party I've ever been to. Our friends the Gershners' little girl turned one. They threw the coolest "Mexican" themed party ever (since her bday is so close to cinco de mayo). I'll have to scan a copy of the invitation which included a photo of her with a drawn on mustache in a sumbrero with the lines "I'm NACHO ordinary one year old" and "CHURRO-only one once". They had churros in vaces in the center of all the tables outside, a mexican style buffet, and of course a pinata. It was pretty dang cool.

4. An awesome Mother's Day. Today Jake made me a yummy breakfast; Eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. Let me take a nap during the day, and made a FABULOUS dinner. Jake doesn't cook much- but when he does he does it good- the menu? Grilled Marinated shrimp, baked potatoes, grilled asparagus in a light sauce, and sparkling cider. It was seriously the tastiest meal he's cooked for me yet.

5. Two sweet sons who were pretty darn sweet to me today.

6. My dear Mama who I can't say enough good things about. She is just so selfless and kind.

7. A mother-in-law who raised my sweet husband to be the man he is today.

8. Great mother's around the world. Now that I'm one myself I realize how daunting the role is. A mother's work really is never done- so cheers to you all- may the Lord bless you in your efforts.
