Mother's Day

It's great to be a mom. It's great when you have a house full of children. It's great when they begin to fly the nest and it's great when they are all independent and you are back in the honeymoon days. It 's great when you have beautiful children calling you grandma. My lovely loved ones continue to make me feel special on this day.

John, Alison and Abby made a lovely picnic for us at Sugar House Park the Saturday before Mother's day. It was so nice to just sit on a blanket and visit with nothing else on the agenda. The food was great and so was the visit.Doesn't this look good? I can tell you it was delicious. We enjoyed the park and the family so much. Thank you my dear ones for such a lovely day.Abby came dressed in her softball uniform. She had had a very good day on the ball field. Lots of hits, outs and runs. Way to go.

To my great surprise and delight, Christopher was not only in charge of the dessert the next day but he decided to make it as well. After church in he came with armloads of grocery bags with every ingredient needed to make his delicious dessert. The only thing I helped with was to tell him where the measuring cups and spoons were. He baked the cookies which were covered with vanilla ice cream and topped with butterscotch/carmel topping. Yum. for sure.Brett brought a delicious salad that he prepared. Check out that face. It is a very confident man there making salad. It was delicious.This empty pan was once full of lucious lasagna by Lindsay. She was the main dish provider and all around organizer of this Mother's day event.  Everyone made an effort to make sure that I felt loved and appreciated. It worked. Thank you all for being my children. I am many times blessed by all of you. It was another great day. You all are the Mother's Day gift!
