Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day has always been such a special day to me because I honestly have the BEST mom in the world! The last couple of years have also made it even more special because I am now a mother! Words cannot express the way I feel about my mom. She is the ultimate example to me and has helped me become the mother I am today. I just love her so much! Thanks for everything mom!

Trevor's mom was out of town so we weren't able to celebrate with her on Sunday. She is also such an amazing mother. She knows how to take care of her kids, even when they are 26 years old. Sometimes she meets Trevor for a Big Mac at midnight. She also makes me feel so comfortable and treats me just like her own daughter. Thanks for all you do for us Maureen. We love you!

Becoming a mother has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love it so much! Drake owns my heart and I love him so much. He makes me laugh everyday and I just love watching him learn new things. Motherhood is so rewarding. I also feel so blessed to have another little baby coming. I am excited for this little girl to join our family. It is amazing how much love you have to give to a little child. I never knew I was capable of loving so much. Being a mother is the best gift in the world, I love it!!!!!

We celebrated Mother's Day at my Uncle Don's house and we had fondue. It was delicious and we all had a great time!
My Grandma, mom, and me. My Grandma is also such a wonderful lady. She is so kind, funny, and loving. These ladies are both great examples to me.

The kids had fun playing outside. They fed some horses...


And Trevor took them all for a quick ride on the 4-wheeler. It was more work getting the biggest kid (Trevor) off than any of the little kids. He is definitely a kid at heart!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Visit to California

We went to visit my Dad, step-mom Erin and little brother Matt in California. We had a great time relaxing, enjoying the great company, and enjoying the warmer weather!
We were a little nervous to take Drake on the plane, but he did so great. He is afraid of planes whenever he sees them flying and I kept asking/telling him that we were going to fly on an airplane and he would shake his head NO! He didn't notice we were on a plane until about half way through the flight. He was looking out the window and I said, "We are on an airplane. We are flying in the sky". He looked at me with a huge shock on his face like, you have got to be kidding me. It was funny.


Drake was sooooo happy to FINALLY get there. It was a long day of traveling, but he did so awesome!We all loved the warm weather. It was fun to play outside in the backyard.

Drake loved playing with daddy in the backyard.
We also got to meet up with some of our best friends for a delicious dinner at P.F. Changs. There were some more people here, but they had to leave before our photo session began!

Drake loved P.F. Changs, just like his parents.
Kylee and CalynDonnie, Kylee, and Stockton came over after dinner for a little chatting and swimming. The little boys had a blast swimming and playing together. Drake loved Stockton. He is a little older than Drake, so Drake would just copy whatever he did.
We also got to see Matt in a swim meet. He plays water polo and also swims. We were cheering for him and called him "The Torpedo in a Speedo".
At the swim meet. Go Matt!
Drake was in love with their dog Amber. He is so nice and gentle to dogs! He must have been missing his own little doggies.
We also went to Erin's family cabin in Idyllwild. They had recently torn the old cabin down and rebuilt a beautiful new cabin. We had a great time there. The new cabin was amazing!
Well...... we were hoping to bring the warm weather back with us, but we were unsuccessful. We had a wonderful time and we can't wait to visit again!
