It was so cool to have both sets of parents here, not only for Luke's baptism, but for Mother's Day too!!!! Talk about pressure on Matt to deliver a wonderful Mother's Day...and let me tell you he did not disappoint! We had bacon and eggs for breakfast, steak, potatoes, green beans and rolls for dinner, and then Bacardi daiquiri's for desert! He worked his tail off and it was a wonderful day! I don't know if that will ever happen again in this lifetime that we are lucky enough to have both here for that special day, but I feel like one lucky girl to have had it happen! The kids loved every minute of it.
My parents came in on Sunday night, May 2nd, and then Matt's came in on Thursday May 6th. It was so fun to have my parents here when I had an ultrasound scheduled...yes if you haven't seen my past post announcing it...I am pregnant! So we got to see the little baby and it was so fun to have my parents with me oooohing and awing :) The rest of the week I wore them out with errands and more errands. But it was such a blast to have them with me for my day to day running around!
I thought this was the darn cutest picture with the baby crossing it's little legs!
Then after Matt's parents came in town, the next day we went to the FUNNEST Barn dance! Our friends, the Hawkes, had a great party at their house. There were tons of people, great food, and real live square dance callers. I was AMAZED that they taught the whole group of over 100 people to square dance and it was actually working! It was a blast! Gavin cried and cried when we had to leave and he kept saying "I want to stay and DANCE!". He finally settled down and after we got home he asked "Mom can we go back to the barn to dance sometime?" Too cute. The next day my mom wanted to run to the Dress Barn, a store nearby, and we learned real quick you can't say BARN or Gavin thinks we are going dancing! :)
It was so sad to see them all leave and the kids keep asking when they both can come again! What a GREAT GREAT time!

Is it wrong that I'm ever so slightly jealous that you guys have so many fun family oriented activities going on in your stake??? It's awesome!
Looks like you had a ball. I'm happy for the new baby!!! 4 is a very good number!!!! With any luck at all you might get a girl to even the score. But whatever it is I know you will be so thrilled. Is Emma so excited? I just think she will be the best "mom" ever!!!!
Congrats on your pregnancy- that is so awesome! Wow number 4 on the way- how fun! I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and that everything goes smoothly for you and your little one! Love Ya!
That truly was a trip of a lifetime, I'm afraid. Baptism and Mother's Day on the same weekend. We will never forget it. And yes, Matt really went all out! The food was great, the company even better! We had a ball playing games Sunday night with the kids included. Just such a special time, Sara and Matt. Thanks again for everything!
