MOTHERS DAY!

Happy Mother's Day mom!! I am thankful everyday for your friendship and for all you do for me and for my family. We love being around your sweet spirit. You have done so much for all of us girls through the years. You have always taken time to come to our events and now my children's. I know the kids love to have you come to there things. I see their faces light up when they see you there. The often ask me are we going to grandma's today, we want to go today. I am thankful for the wonderful example you set for me and my kids.

Over the last ten years I have come to realizes more and more all the things you did for us. There was a talk today in church by one the youth it was so beautiful she talked about her mom and it made me think. Oh, I wish I could put words together and have them sound so eloquent. This youth talked about how her mom taught her that her testimony was the most important thing to have in her lift. As I thought about that I am thankful for your testimony. Even though you didn't bear it often. I know you have one and through your action showed us your testimony. I have been able to developed a testimony of my own. I am thankful for that gift.

I know their are a lot more things you have done for me that I haven't mentioned. I hope that you know I love you.

I felt like I need to say thanks to mom today.

I was so disappointed today when I got on to check everyone bloggs and none of them have been updated in so long. So I thought I would do mine. Because if you are like me I get on everyday to see what is new with all of my sisters. It seems that this is the main way I hear how everyone is doing.

I can't remember if I told you we put up a cover over our patio. We finally finished on Friday. I love it. Now I just hope our vines on the side will really take off and create some shade. Ryan is so good at working on a project until it is done. I love that about him.

Wednesday I went with Cole on a class field trip to Yoke's that is a grocery store. That was so much fun. Then I went with Kamden's preschool class on Wednesday to Yoke's and did the same field trip. It was kind of funny. Thursday after Kamden's field trip we went over to Cole's school for a parents lunch. All parents were invited to have lunch with their kids. Then after that the whole second grade class sang all the mom's a song and had cookies and juice for us for Mother's day.

Cole made me a candle holder for mother's day and Kamden made me a picture and a frame. I love their made gifts. I always thought that was really lame when I was younger but I so love it now.

Friday we had two of Kamden's friends over we went to the park for about 3 hours then came home and played for a while with them. The girls mostly Kamden got tired so we had to run them all home around 2 so she could take a nap. Friday night we went over to Dennis and Melanie's for dinner. Ryan's uncle and some of his kids had come to visit. We all went up Saturday to a Mariners game. We went and saw the Yankee's play. It was a busy day on Saturday we took mom and Melanie out for breakfast. Then Cole had a game it the heat. It seemed to be really warm yesterday. Then about 1:20 we left for Seattle. After the game we drove home we got home this morning about 2:30. I was worried the kids would be up about 6:30 but they slept in until about 9:30. So we got a few hours of sleep.

Today we are having a BBQ at house we are going to try out the new patio cover.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I would love to hear from you all Kendall too.
