Mother's Day Weekend

I love Mother's Day weekend. It's one of my favorite holiday's. Mostly it's because I cherish being a mother. It took so long for this particular blessing to happen to me that I can't help but feel blessed and lucky to have 3 beautiful kids! The Saturday before Mother's Day is always a busy one for me. It starts out with a 5k honoring one of my best friends mother who has had breast cancer and is still continuing to fight cancer currently. I love doing this race! Next year I think it might be time to bring Karlee along with me!

Here's our Jeanie Beanie! She's quite the fighter!

Shannon and Ella

This is why I need Karlee with me! I'm all alone, I need her by my side :)
 It is now tradition to go to Jason's Mom's house and do yard work and plant flowers for her for Mother's Day. The kids really enjoy giving service to their Grandmother. Blake even got in on the action this year. He loved it!

Field Trip Time!

 I was able to go on a field trip with Karlee's class to This Is The Place. I really love going there. The kids learn a lot about the heritage of Utah and how the pioneers lived before modern technology.

Chasing the poor ducks!

Cute piggy!

These cows are native to Scotland. It made me laugh at how furry they are!

Clever name for an Ass! LOL
