Spoils of Mother's Day

Card from Lindi, so sweet!!

These are the tiles Lindi made for my mom, sis and I! Love them!!

I was so glad Lindi put these on her blog, her photos came out a lot clearer than mine and I wanted to have them on my page as well, I am so lucky to have such a talented sis-in-law. Love ya Lindi and thanks again!!

MY MOTHER'S DAY:)

I woke up Mother's Day morning to so many fun presents! Quinn made me a flower pot with a picture of him on the flower (and a picture he painted of Sonic on the flower pot), CJ gave me his special people book with some extra pictures and fun stuff we hadn't seen before, Chad got me a dozen beautiful red roses, chocolate, candles and a gift certificate for a mani/pedi (I needed soooo bad since I can't reach my toes anymore:)), he let each of the kids pick out a cute card and sign it for me too. Very nice morning! After church Kim stopped by with more chocolate, yum, and a card. Later we went over to Mom and Dad's where I got even more presents a beautiful wall hanging from mom and dad and Lindi sent me an awesome tile that had the letter F in the background and forever family in the front, love it! It was such a great day, I just love being a mother and wife (even if I hadn't gotten all the fun presents:)
Mother’s Day is not only a day to celebrate, but also a day of remembrance for our family. Chad lost his mom to cancer when he was very young and before we started a family of our own, it was kind of a hard day. I think about his mom a lot on mother’s day and how proud she would be of all he has accomplished. Though I usually take it for granted, I am so fortunate to have my mom and also to be able to live so close, she has always been such a great example to me and one of my best friends. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mother’s in our lives!!

Cute Kid Quotes

I always tell myself I need to write these things down, when my kids come up with their cute little sayings. Today when Chad came home from work he asked Quinn how he got so cute. Q answered "well, Jesus made me:)" Too cute, I love how their little minds work.

This morning CJ and I were reviewing his vocabulary words. Carissa was sitting by us and when CJ was done he asked Carissa if she knew any words. She thought for a min. and said "I know I yub (love) you CJ." He just smiled and giggled, what a great way to start the day:)

When Jodi (CJ's teacher) came to pick up her boys today she told me she had to brag on CJ for a min, and of course who doesn't like to hear others brag about their kids. She said Mrs. Coe does an end of the year reading test with all the kindergarteners to make sure they are ready to move on and when she brought CJ back she said she had to stop him after level 14 he was just cruising through, their big goal is to get them to a level 3 by the end of kindergarten so he is doing GREAT! She also added that he was just the funnest little kid, which who am I to argue:)

Today Quinn was telling me how much he loved Jesus because he made this beautiful world for us. I said "yep, he must love us a lot, huh?" Then he told me that when he was in Heaven a bad guy was telling everyone to hurt Jesus and Quinn said "I whispered to some kids to not listen to the bad guy and to listen to Jesus":)

We were watching the morning session of General Conference together as a family and as we were listening to L. Whitney Clayton talk about the importnce of having a testimony Quinn asked "Mom, what happens if you don't have a testimony?" Caught a little off gaurd I answered the best I could and told him how important it is to have a testimony so we can share what we know with others and return to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again. He answered with a simple, "Oh" as only Quinn can:) Even when I don't think he is, he is always listening and those little wheels are turning:)

Carissa has been so sick this past week, we went and stocked up on Gatorade to try and keep her hydrated to avoid having to admit her for IVs. When I filled her cup up and went to hand it to her she asked me what it was. I told her gatorade and she looked at me with a very scared look, and said I don't want to drink alligators. I had to quickly change my story and tell her is was juice. Too, funny. It took me awhile to catch on that she thaught GATORade was made from alliGATORS. LOL;)
