Mother's Day

Here is Mother's Day a few weeks late. Mother's day was wonderful this year. Friday before I went to Jacob's school for a Mom and me activity. It was so much fun. All the mom's sat at tables with table cloths on them and hand flowers that the kids had made. I was given a necklace from Jacob that he had made. The kids sang songs to us, told us about what they liked about their moms and we also were read survey's about their moms. The questions were things like how tall is your mom? Your mom weighs how much? Your moms favorite food is? It was so funny to hear all of the kids questions. We then watched a DVD of the whole year that their teacher put together with music. It was amazing. ( I will try to post it) We then ate cookies and milk. It was the sweetest thing. I wanted to cry because of how cute it was. I was so sad though because I forgot my camera and knew that if I went back to get it I would have missed a lot of it. I am so sad about not getting video or pictures of my sweet Jacob telling me things that he liked about me and singing adorable songs to me. After being in Jacob's class I would have actually been happy with just that. But nope that wasn't everything. Enoch took me out for a nice lunch and then on Sunday I was surprised with breakfast in bed. The kids got up extra early to make me pancakes, eggs, toast, chocolate milk that was so dark because of all the chocolate that the kids added to it. Yum. I was also given flowers. Very nice surprise. I rarely get flowers and I LOVED it (hint hint Enoch) The kids then gave me their gifts. I got a sports bra (I loved it because it was on my list of things i needed to get before my race in June), a bathroom scale (yes that is not the most thoughtful gift but man I loved it, Yah I know that I am weird). The best gift was my new purse and inside the purse were little gifts that my kids picked out. They all went shopping with their dad and bought something that they wanted to get. I picked everything out themselves. I got candy, alphabet letters for making cards, a fry cutter, a make tool kit, a white board calender. My kids new me to well and new of the things that I would love.

I really loved mother's day this year. I am so grateful for a wonderful family. I love being a mom to three of the best children.



Enoch took a picture of the kids before they brought me in my breakfast.

Kaelen had to carry this balloon around. He loves balls so much that he will hold on to the balloon or ball and never let go of them.

Kaelen was really hungry even though he had already ate. I had to feed him bites of food in between opening presents.

Surprise.

I love this picture because Kaelen was smiling at the camera while I looked at the presents in my purse.

Father and Son Camp Out

Every Mother's day weekend the men in our ward go for the father and son camp out. They go the weekend of Mother's day because it is the weekend closest to the 15th of May. The day the priesthood was restored. Jacob looks forward to it every year. This year it was freezing. They woke up to frost on them in the tent. Enoch was very prepared though and he and Jacob were warm all night. A man from our ward brought up his 4 wheeler and let the kids ride on it. Well of course they rode through the gigantic mud puddle. I guess that anybody that rode on it got really muddy. Jacob loved it. Nest year Kaelen gets to go with Enoch and Jacob. It will be fun for the boys to go camping and then Rachel and I to have a girls evening together.

Jacob watching some of the boys play basketball. Jacob loves to play with the deacons because he see's them all the time because of Enoch's calling in the scouts. (He is the scout master for those that don't remember)

Jacob was screaming so loud as they were heading through the lake of mud.

Trampoline

So our trampoline was set up over a month ago and we LOVE it. The kids play on it at least once a day. Kaelen will stand at the window and point out to it because he wants to go on it so bad. Rachel has gotten really good at doing hand spring on it. Buying the tramp has been the best thing. We are so happy to have it. Here are some pictures from Enoch setting it up and first getting on it. I had to be the first to try it out. Actually we set it up while the kids were at school and they came home to it set up. Surprise.

I love this picture of Enoch and Kaelen jumping on the trampoline together.


Here is a video of Kaelen and Enoch jumping on the trampoline.

While we set the tramp up Kaelen played in the large trampoline box.

Oh I love this picture.
