Mother's Day and Thanksgiving Point

This year for Mother's day i really wanted to visit Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point. I even told Jim this is what I want for Mother's day. It is not Jim's favorite place, but he willingly went with all of us. I love spending time there, I just wish it wouldn't be as crowded. Jim even had enough patience to take pictures of me and kids as you know it get's complicated taking pictures of more then one child, but Jim did great! It was the best Mother's Day ever.

I need to find time to live

We are still alive..... Life has been kind of like a hurricane, spinning and turning me around. I think I made in into the eye for now, it calmed down for a minute but not for long.

We had a wonderful Easter this year, even though it has been incredibly cold. I thought kids were going to be Easter egg hunting in the snow, but thank goodness it melted. Easter, just like Christmas our kids needed reminders that it is not the Easter Bunny or candy that make Easter, but the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. I think we had to have a couple of lessons to get through to Tasia and AJ. I guess we will have to see next year if it got through to them.

We also had a boy who turned Three this year. We had AJ's first Birthday party this year. We were all excited. AJ was too, but when it came to the party he kind of became shy (it probably had to do with only girls at his party) and no boys could make it. Oh well, we will have to do better and plan it when friends are home.

Even thought we had AJ's favorite Buzz light year party I was not brave enough to make Buzz Light Year cake so we went with the Guitar cake that AJ LOVED. The night before his party we had spent at Thanksgiving point so my cake decorating time was midnight before the party. I finally finished decorating the cake and wrote AJ 3 on it. I showed it to Jim and he approved. I wake up in the morning and we look at the cake to see that Mom really was very tired while she was decorating at midnight. I wrote AL 3 instead of AJ. We had a good laugh.


Amongst all the fun I, as usual over scheduled myself with 5 sessions in 4 days. I am so glad i have survived.
I met some amazing and some very interesting people. Now I am trying to work on "God loves them too" theme in my business.


Also amongst all the craziness of our lives we like to use our Pass of All Passes and go to Trafalga.  Kids have been loving this unlimited fun. The only person who still throws a fit when we have to go home is AJ, I guess the term "Unlimited" and we can come back as many times as we want was not understood.
