Mother's Day

My Mother's Day Weekend was completely lovely. It started Saturday morning with the High Line Canal 5 K. Which I finished in 41 min. and 38 sec. If you're keeping track that is almost 4 minutes faster than the last one. But the best part of was the end, and not just because it was the end but also because I got the amazing surprise of seeing my family waiting for me at the finish line. It meant sooo much to me that they were there. After I crossed the line I cried like a little baby. It was so great. They brought me flowers and my amazing Mother's Day gift. My new flip video camera. Which they used to take this little clip.



I seriously have the best family. Ever.



Then Heather and I were off to get pedicures.


Then I came home to a clean house! Including my bed being made by Bryce. He left a note saying, I love you mom. From Bryce with a $5 bill on it. How cute is that.


Last night Sam took Heather (Her husband is working in AZ, and couldn't be here) and me to Monument, to eat dinner a Texas Roadhouse where we stuffed ourselves silly. Then we went to Iron Man 2. It was a fun movie.


This morning the goodness continued with staying in bed till 11:30ish and getting a yummy breakfast in bed. Which included orange sweet rolls.


Church was great. Erryn Walker talked on Emma Smith and Motherhood. It was touching. RS was great. Olivia Brower sang two musical numbers and it was really wonderful. We got chocolate and Gracie made me a special mirror.


I just went to water my little garden and Mother Nature has also given me a nice little gift. I have baby lettuce and spinach peeking through the dirt. I'm so exited!


And the roast Sam made for dinner is done!


It has been a wonderful weekend. Thanks to my amazing kids and unbelievable husband!


Happy Mother's Day to all of the fabulous Mothers I know.

Sound awesome! What a great inspiration to me! I gotta join you for a 5K sometime--Any during the June 15th week in Denver you know of?

Plus I didn't know you were in Olivia (Moore) Brower ward--I went to high school with her, her brother Golden was a good friend of mine! There whole family is so talented they make you sick (in a good way!) Small world!
Fun!
