Mother's Day

Mother's Day was really such a wonderful day.  I ate Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for breakfast and it was amazing.  I laugh as I type that because I made it for myself Saturday night to eat for breakfast.  But seriously, I can make a dang good pie.  Lol!  I've been craving it every day since.

My family was really sweet to me the whole day.  I had fun doing Madeline's hair for church.

 Sacrament meeting was my favorite part.  Madeline, Cooper, and Oliver sang to me.  Such sweet perfect faces up there singing.  Then, the entire Priesthood sang to me with Ethan accompanying the entire men's choir on the piano.  It was so awesome to watch Ethan play "I Am a Child of God" for all the men to sing.  They sounded amazing, and my heart was so full looking at my son and my husband and so many good men singing.  I cried. All the mamas did.  It was the best!

 Then I got three very similar picture frames, with lovely flowers glued on them from my primary kiddos.  I should have taken a picture of all three in a row.  It made me chuckle.

 Dinner was such a treat.  My awesome father-in-law made me dinner!  It was a really enjoyable bbq at his house with all sorts of scrumptious sides by Nana.  I felt spoiled not making any of the dinner.  But I did make the dessert because I'd been wanting to make a Pavlova for a long time.  Lemon cream, lemon curd, and raspberries.  I thought it was so delicious.  I want to make another one soon.  I have a baking addiction!

 We also enjoyed the perfect weather on a little walk.  Oh my, it was nice.

I enjoyed talking to my mom too.  She's the best mom.  I love her every day, but feel especially blessed on Mother's Day that she's my mom.  And I felt very grateful for my wonderful children.  I do love them and being their mother very much.  Sometimes I think they deserve better than the way I act, but I sure try hard.  And they all seem to think I'm pretty great, so I couldn't ask for more.
