A grateful mother

I can't say I was super grateful at 5:30am
when Kaipo came into my room crying to tell me
he had peed his bed (something he hasn't
done since he started potty training). What a choice day to do it,
especially to start this mom's day off great!
After that episode, things turned around.
I threw all his sheets/blankets in the washer
and then we all crawled back in bed for awhile.
My kids love to make me breakfast in bed,
and Mother's Day is no exception-and on this day
they actually gets daddy's help, so I get more than
just toast or cereal :) There was no relaxing though
since we have 9:00 church. Here is the beautiful lei Quinn got me
(he also got one for his mom). I love this tradition,
especially because I know he didn't just run out
last minute to pick up some flowers, but it took
some planning ahead to get it ordered to arrive on time for ME! I LOVE the kids homemade gifts from school.
They get so excited to bring it home and then
keep it a secret from me until MOther's Day!
Here is the note on the back of Ame's card.
And coincidentally they both made me
fridge magnets.
I have wanted a cruiser bike for awhile and got it
today. Ame and I are excited to go on lots of bike rides
together. Kaipo may join us sometimes, those will just be
A LOT slower rides!
We spent the rest of the day in Provo with Quinn's mom
and family-eating, playing games, eating, relaxing in the
beautiful weather, eating, and the kids driving their moms crazy!
Hope all of you Mother's had a FANTASTIC day!
I am so grateful to be a mother, even though most days
my kids may wonder if I really feel that way.
I can't believe b4 the year is through I will be a mom of 4!!!
***What a blessing***
And quite a bit of craziness!




Friends Reunited

On Saturday we went to Salt Lake to see one of QUinn's really good friends Ivan. They grew up together & were snowboarding buddies for years, and Ivan has since moved to Washington. But Ivan's mom, Pam (who was like Quinn's 2nd mom) still lives in Salt Lake, so we all got together at her house for brunch. It was great for the guys to reminise and catch up. Believe it or not these two both use to have LONG hair. As you can see Kaipo's makes friends instantly and is very affectionate!
Ash being silly-trying to pose
the kids all had a blast hangin' outside, playing with this old tree and running wild
it was such a beautiful, crisp day
