Happy Mother's Day!!!

I love Mother's Day...it's the one time of year that I get to SLEEP IN!!! And not only sleep in, but I awake to the smell of bacon and eggs! Mmmm my favorite! Yes I am the lucky girl that is married to a wonderful man who pampers me on mother's day! After a delicious breakfast I got to open my presents. Luke made me the cutest card, a pot with paper flowers, and a little paper picture frame with a picture he drew of me on one side and Matt on the other side. I never realized what a treasure homemade children gifts would be! The kids also got me a bike helmet (mine is a little too colorful to wear during my triathlons...I want to look slick and speedy :) lol). Then Matt got me a mixer! Matt stuck a metal spoon in mine a while back and did a number on the beaters...now I have to hold the beaters in while it is going or they fall out and make a loud scary noise! So now I have a beautiful new Kitchen Aid! THANK YOU HONEY! I am very excited! Although I'm afraid it will make me want to make cookies more and that is the last thing I need to be eating!

Then tonight Matt made a delicious dinner! It was mediterranian scallops/mushroom/artichoke pasta! Very good...in fact the kids and I voted that we think Matt should cook for now on :).

Then tonight we sat and watched our family videos. It was weird to see how much the kids have changed in just a short amount of time!

Happy mother's day to all the mothers I know and love! Especially my own mom who I love soooooo much and want to be like someday! Everytime I am teaching my kids or talking with them I try to think of what you would do in the same situation...how you would love me through situations instead of pushing me away. I love you MOM!
