Mother's Day

I have never been one that gives a lot of thought to "special days" such as Mother's Day, Birthdays, Valentine's Day...well, you get the picture. But I do have to say this Mother's Day was great! It started off with a pre-Mother's Day/Birthday gift from hubby, a beach cruiser bike. I had been coveting a bike like this for years. I finally went down to Greenies, a locally owned shop, and took a gander at the beautiful specimens. I was hooked! I had to have one of them. Then the owner gave me a magazine full of these beautiful bikes and I just could not decide. So Saturday I took John in to have him check them out with me and he decided then and there just to let me get one. I didn't even have to beg or plead...just bat my eyelashes...and smile...and here she is...

But Sunday morning John woke up bright and early to make me this...my favorite breakfast. (I had plans to document everything he did for me, but forgot to take a picture of the yummy grilled chicken we had for dinner)

Taking pics after lunch while the boys all took a nap...

Then off to blowing bubbles...

One of the best moments of the day though was getting an email from our birthmom with a song and ultrasound pictures. It brought a few tears and a very grateful heart. Thank You "J" for your love and thoughtfulness.

Now, to my mother...

who helped me gain a testimony of the gospel (with that darn early morning scripture reading)

who guided me in my decision to marry the best man ever (yeah, I'd like to think it was just me listening to the spirit but you gave it a little push)

who helped me survive my teenage years

who helped us when we needed you most (blod clots, babysitting the kids, etc...)

who is one of my very best friends (even at our most opinionated moments)I Love You
