Oh Mothers Day!!!

As my husband says “this is a day to test a family!” Well ain’t that the truth!! I woke up at 3 on mother’s day to a child who wanted to make sure that I still knew he was there (Jackson, I will always know you are there! You don’t have to remind me about it at 3am… I dream about you and you are always on my mind… If only you knew : ) ) Anyway… So I was able to go right back to sleep and was woken up again at around 7 by Jackson… So I grabbed him and I started my mothers day with a wonderfully smiling baby who cooed and told me all about his wonderful night! Kyle rolled over and said “Do you want me to make you breakfast?” I said I didn’t want to do that and make a mess and all of that so we decided to head to IHOP… we are thinking IHOP at 8am we made it before all the church goers… Turns out not so much…. It was PACKED… overflowing! So we drove around and finally decided on Burger King… Not a traditional mothers day breakfast but nice! Than we were off to Wal-Mart, Kyle wasn’t able to go shopping for me because Gannon got sick on Friday and Saturday was a crazy hectic day! So he set off to get me something and I set off to get something for my mom (I procrastinated… but not on purpose… I was going to pick something up Thursday night while grocery shopping but it didn’t work out!) Anyway so we were running around Wal-Mart trying to find things.. .We finally get done and headed home… I had to make my mom her present so I made a HUGE mess of our room by taking out all my scrapbooking things and I actually am quit proud of what I made in what time I had… I will post a pic later! Anyway… I was surprised by the movie Juno, socks (of course!!) 2 shirts, 4 candles, and what sounds like it is going to be an awesome book! THANKS RICH!! (side note: Braxten told Kyle on Friday that he wanted to go shopping for me… he said he wanted to get me books and candles, does the kid know me or what?) So we took off to the park… Which we were almost an hour late for! Had a wonderful time at the park (pics to come) and than we went to my parents and watched the boys and my mom blow bubbles like madmen (and spill bubbles all over the porch!) Than we rushed home… had about 45 min before Kyle’s sister headed over and spent some time with us since we haven’t seen her for so long so it was nice. While she was there we cleaned our filthy boys (its amazing how dirty a kid can get in less than 24 hours!!) Anyway we are out visiting and all of a sudden we hear Braxten say “Smell it, Smell it, Now take it” its from a preview that was on Iron Man for Adam Sandler’s new movie ‘You don’t mess with the Zohan’ you can see it at this site:

that part is at 2:11… Anyway it cracked us up to randomly hear Braxten say that! So than Kyle’s parents came over and hung out, than I went to check my e-mail and found out I could take my exam (for those of you who don’t know about this wonderful experience you can ask because I am not writing it!) Anyway so I took that at like 730 or 8 and got done around 930 and had to go out and write 3 page instructions for my grandma on watching the boys because it was last minute (Mistie I hope your family is feeling better!!) and she knew nothing about their schedules or anything! Anyway after a very exhausting day I got in bed around 1050… heard something right before I fell asleep so I had to go look and see what it was (nothing, like always) than I lay in bed for the next like hour thinking of all the stuff I have to get done in this month!! Well it was a good mothers day!! Long and hectic but worth every minute of it to hear Gannon come up and say “Mom I just wanted to say Happy Mothers Day and I love you” Without being told to do so!! I love my boys and I love my Kyle! Thanks guys! Without you this day wouldn’t have been possible…Get it? I woulnd’t be a mother? Anyway…. That’s that!
