Happy Mother's Day!




I woke up from my Mother's Day nap to the most delicious smell! There were three smiling faces looking down at me and two of them whisper yelled, "Happy Mother's Day!" Upon my arrival at the dinner table the most wondrous sight met my baby blues: a fantastic dinner made by my husband and two little darlings. As you can see, they went all out! I had eggplant parmesan, salad, asparagus, garlic bread, pasta and white sauce with a little apple cider to wash it all down. When I was first dating Brady, a big treat was to drive to Spokane and eat at the Olive Garden. I would always order the eggplant parmesan! There was one day soon after we got married that Brady tackled his first attempt, I am sure it was delicious. This, his second attempt, was truly one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life, and I LOVE food and try it often. It made it even more enjoyable that Catherine and Sarah were actively involved in helping making it. So tasty!

Sarah said an adorable thing today, we were in the car and as we turned the corner, Brady's hand slipped off the steering wheel and we jerked a little bit. From the back seat we heard, "Seriously! Who's driving this thing!" She is a funny little munchkin!

My help meet

We are having a fun time on our vacation, but I am already exhausted! I truly believe that old adage, "you need a vacation from your vacation". Time just seems to run away from me more than usual. Last night we went for a walk and ended up being gone for an hour. By the time we got home at 7:30, I did not make my 8:00 bed time. Baths, hair, teeth, scriptures, chapter books and prayers took another hour! We are all just dragging today. I had to wake the girls up to get ready for church and leave by 8:00am to get into Stake Conference in the Valley. Now,I am struggling to keep them reverent and calm on the Sabbath. I just am looking for a small moment to be quiet and feel of the spirit of the day. I think that the Lord knew something when he declared that man needed a help meet. I need my husband. I am not as efficient, happy, or useful without him to help me get the things that I need; spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Husband, I love you and miss you! Happy Father's day!
