      Happy Mother's Day to all those beautiful moms.  I love being a mom.  I love it when my kids give me home made cards or fresh cut flowers (weeds) from the yard.  Today was so special.  I woke up to Teagan snuggling next to me.  Then I was told by Tim not to come downstairs because of a surprise.  When I finally got to go downstairs, I was served breakfast.  There was bacon, eggs, biscuits, smoothie, and a heart shaped pancake on my plate.  I truly felt spoiled.
     After breakfast, I opened my gifts.  Xadia and Teagan both gave me home made cards where they saw what they liked best about me or how they would describe me.  I laughed because one of Xadia responses was that I liked to "sleep."  Oh how true that is.  Being a mom can wipe you out.  After breakfast we got ready and went to church.  The kids sang primary songs to their mothers. This was the last year McCabe will sing a mother's day song to me in church.  He is growing up so fast.
     We ate lunch and then played two rounds of one night ultimate werewolf.  The kids always cheat at this game.  Tim's favorite saying is, "cheaters close your eyes."  What is really supposed to be said is, "players, close your eyes."  After the game, Tim and I got a nap.  After being abruptly woken, the family headed over to Nastia's house to give them a ladder.  Nastia is moving to Kansas.  I wanted to stay and update my blog/journal.  So here I sit in an empty (and messy) house.  The house is messy because I have not lifted a finger today and it has been great.  But come tonight or tomorrow it will be cleaned because I don't like to live in filth.
     It has been a happy mother's day for Tim.  He finally got the truck he has always wanted.  It is a beauty.  Here the boys are unloading potential campfire wood.  This was the first major use of work for the truck.

We will also be using it for the lawn business.  Each week we mow several lawns.  This will make it easier to pull the trailer.  The kids just walked through the door.  They are back just in time for AFV (America's Funniest Videos).  However, McCabe made a suggestion that he wants to watch the 3 Amigos instead.  This is a movie I got for Mother's Day.  It is one of mine and Tim's favorites.  I guess we will take a family vote.
