Mother's Day

We had a very busy, yet enjoyable Mother's Day. I had to teach Relief Society, so our morning was quite rushed. But we all made it to church on time and my lesson went well. Brayden was SO cute everytime he saw me in church. He would come up, give me a big hug, and say "Happy Mother's Day!" I melted everytime. Here's what he made for me in his primary class:
During sacrament meeting, we weren't sure if Brayden would actually go up and sing with the primary or not. To our surprise he did! He walked up there and found a spot right in the front. And of course he saw us and waved...so cute! He sang most of the words and actions to both songs and I couldn't help but be emotional watching my little boy up there singing to me. (He did see his little friend inbetween songs, wave, and say, "Hi Boston!" Everyone chuckled and thought it was cute." Thanks Brayden for absolutely making my day SO special!

After church we went straight to my parent's to visit them before they left for church. It's kinda becoming a tradition for my kids to give roses to each grandma and their birthdays and Mother's day. Here they are giving my mom some roses:

After a quick visit we headed down to Orem to visit my brother and sister-in-law in the hospital. They had their twins the day before. Congrats you guys! Here's Josh with Meg:

Afterwards we headed home so the kids could get a quick nap. For dinner we went to Josh's aunt's house to meet up with his extended family having a bbq. Here is Brooklyn at the little girl's table with Aubree and Jacie:

Dinner was great and it was fun to visit with everyone. We then headed to the Ericson's to spend the rest of the evening with them. The kids were full of so much energy. Someone had the brilliant idea to tell them to run around circling the house racing each other. They did this for atleast 15 minutes, until one of them ran into a chair. Good way of using up all that extra energy!

How grateful I am to be the mother to these two precious kids. I love being at home with them everyday and feel so blessed that they are a part of our lives. Thanks for a great Mother's Day!
