Mother's Day

1. Morning. Jake made me a yummy breakfast of eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.

2. Afternoon. We packed a pic-nic and drove up the canyon to Nunn's Park and hiked around so the boys could find wildflowers to make me a boquet. When we got home I took a nap.

3. Evening. Jake made his signature shrimp scampi and twice baked potatoes. Becca brought over a yummy salad and drinks, and Garrett and Kari brought over dessert. I didn't have to do a thing!

4. Josh taking part. Josh gave me a cute handprints and poem he made at preschool and lots of hugs and kisses throughout the day.

5. Dekker following suit. Dekker loved hiking and picking "flowers" (he mostly grabbed bits of leaves and weeds and excitedly handed them to me).

6. Other Moms/Women. I was very appreciative of all the love my family showed me- but on Mother's Day what I'm most thankful for are all the women that have positively influenced my life. My mom is such a good example, and has become a dear friend. She is also an incredible Grandma.

Okay... this is just TOO hard... I'm sitting here and thinking of all these women and just don't even want to start because it would be too hard to try and write all the women and all they've done!!!! My Grandma Blanche, my Grandma Bybee, Jake's Mom, my mission "moms", aunts, friends, cousins, etc....
WOW!
