Mother's Day Weekend

Jon has been promising the kids a camp out in the back yard for months. So. last Friday was the day. We started by roasting hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores. Then the kids got in the tent to read some books before bed. Jon and I were inside watching the Suns game with Ron and Sarah. The kids lasted about 30 minutes in the tent before they wanted to come inside because it was too noisy outside! So we put the tent in Emma's room and that lasted about another 30 minutes before they just ended up in their own beds! :) Nice try though!
On Saturday afternoon we went to Tempe Town Lake to let the kids play on the splash pad and let Jon fish. They had fun, but Jon didn't catch anything. Not sure how great the fishing really is there anyway!
On Mother's Day I got to "sleep in". I was still awake at 6:30am but didn't get out of bed until 8am. Jon and the kids had made me my favorite breakfast, potatoes and eggs and they also made cards for me. Jon even wrote a nice poem that brought tears to my eyes! Emma painted a flower pot at school and wrote me a nice letter. On the front of the letter the kids answered questions about their moms. One answer I had to laugh at was that my favorite food was toast! :) Not sure where she got that idea! That night for dinner we fed the missionaries and invited my mom and dad over. We had open face enchiladas...a Brenay favorite! It was delicious! It was a very nice weekend spent with my family who I love dearly! I feel very blessed and privileged to be a mom to 2 amazing kids! I love them more than they will ever know!
