Mother's Day

Mother's Day... it started at 3:30am when Mary kept calling to me so I rolled out of bed to check on her, she was not feeling well! While I was standing in the hall way I could hear a little thump over and over again as little Ruthie was coming down the stairs on her bottom, I think she was a little surprised to meet me in the hallway. She wanted a drink of water and I helped her to the bathroom and then laid her back in her bed. When Mary was settled back down and fell asleep I was almost back to sleep when I heard sleepy Leah at my bed side, "Mommy, I had a bad dream..." so I pulled her up to sleep next to me. Rolling over wondering if I was going to get any rest sweet Rachel started pulling at me.

I lay there thinking so this is how my mother's day is going to be...... I will let you imagine my morning in preparing for church. As I was putting my things in the Primary room for sharing time James sat down in a chair and looked up at me, "Mom, why didn't you stay in bed?" (In the past they always served me breakfast in bed, since Mary was sick I was pretty for sure this would be forgotten.) I smiled at him and said "until 8:30 this morning?" I could see the disappointment on his face that he wasn't able to do it but they made up for it after church!!!

This afternoon I went on a Mother's Day Hike. It was fun!! Harper had found an easy trail to the bottom of the canyon and had been wanting to take me so we headed out.





Surprisingly the last couple of hikes I have been putting this cute little hat on Rachel's head and she leaves it alone!! Although seeing the camera made her want it very bad!

The boys were fun they are always so good to me, when we told them it was time to head back to the house they were not very excited...

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!!!!!!!!
