Mother's Day 2014

Mother's Day Treasures

It took 5 minutes and a guilt trip to get these kids to put their arms around each other! 

But Sadie had slept in

I really really love Mother's Day. I woke up to a nice breakfast of pancakes made by Ethan, ham, and doughnuts. Everybody had put their little treasures they had made in the kitchen table for me. These little cards, poems, and gifts are my favourite things ever.  Sacrament Meeting was beautiful with some lovely tributes to mothers and the primary kids sang, and the youth also sang. Ethan didn't sing with the primary kids this year, and as they were walking up he mouthed "Mom, record it!" I laughed. We don't take pictures or record things in the chapel at church, but this kid was thinking of how much I love watching my little ones! What a sweet guy. The best part of the meeting was at the end, when Sadie started patting my boobs. Then she started saying over and over again: "Mom, I want to see your BUMPS!!" I mean she said it like 20 times, and was almost yelling it! She tried to look down my shirt a few times, but for some reason I didn't want to take my shirt off in the middle of sacrament meeting and show of my bumps…! Finally I took her out to the foyer, where she kept going on her tirade- I tried to explain for the 50th time that she couldn't see my bumps at church! So she pulled her dress way over her head and said:  "I WANT  TO SEE YOUR BUMPS because mine are SOOOOO TINY!" I am not making this up:)

Sadie is a sweet girl! With tiny bumps!!!

Eli wrote the sweetest poem for me this year.

Kissy face Bear Strikes again!!!

Janie gave me her gifts earlier this week at her Mother's Day program at school- but so generously re-gifted me a Sofia the first beach towel at breakfast!

Ethan made some delicious pancakes and also wrote me a sweet note that said 'lots of lovinsins" 

Sadie's hair turned out so cute today, even with her side mullet haircut that she gave herself a few weeks ago!

Oh man I kissed that neck today! Too delicious!

And of course my 6th child Cougar… because Jonah is adamant that "He's my BROTHER!" 

Dinner outside- corned beef, corn on the cob, cheesy potatoes, and rolls, all made so well by CJL!
