The Best Mother's Day Ever

My Mother's Day weekend was the best ever this year. My super supportive father paid for a photography workshop for me to attend and my super supportive husband watched the kids from 8:45 am to 7:30 pm while I was gone on Saturday. You can veiw some of the pictures on my other blog http://www.jillthenewme.blogspot.com/

When I returned home on Saturday night David had made dinner and fed the kids. I hadn't even suggested anything for dinner. I was very amazed. I had returned home 2 hours later than I had told him, so he pulled it off on his own. My cell phone had died so he couldn't even call me. It was really nice to have him work it all out on his own. I came home to a clean house, thank you girls and David, and there were flowers on the counter for me.

The next morning Alison and Emma really wanted to make me breakfast, but since church started at 8 am, I told them my morning gift could be that we would be on time to church (sitting on a soft seat instead of hard chairs way in the back). We made it and got to sit on the second row. I loved watching my three girls sing me my Mother's Day songs with be smiles on their faces. If I waved at Emma or Sadie they would beam even brighter. After church David and the girls made me an omelete and let me take a nap:)

That night we ate at Jess and Nichole's, thanks for the yummy dinner guys. I had such a wonderful weekend and to top it off I asked Nichole to take a picture of me with my kids for Mother's Day. She did a great job. I love having a photograpy buddy!

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
