Today was by far my best mother's day yet. I know- I've only actually had two where I had a child of my own- three if you count when zeb was an eight month fetus- but today was great! and it didn't have all that much to do with Zeb or Ike anyway.
Kent let me sleep in. Oh- how I miss the days of waking when I pleased. And then he made me breakfast- crepes with strawberry cream cheese and cool whip filling - yum-o. and then he showered me with gifts. I am a sucker for presents of every kind. I just love them. Nothing expensive- nothing fancy- just something to unwrap that's a surprise.

After breakfast we went on a walk at one of the most fabulous parks EVER. The weather was slightly chilly- with sun. PERFECT walk weather.

After our walk we returned home for church. Kent didn't have any meeting beforehand and that was wonderful. I really enjoyed being able to get ready without whiners/criers/attention seekers at my feet. Church was fabulous too.

When we got home Kent made a wonderful dinner and cleaned up the mess. Now we are finishing up harry potter and eating ice cream. I couldn't have asked a for a better day.

I've included some pictures of Z and Ike since that's ALL my family wants to see :)


The park today really was astounding. I LOVE spring and don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to Utah where spring just can't compete with the greenery elsewhere. The green and blossoms right now are breathtaking.


Zeb was in heaven on our walk.

He RAN and RAN.
and RAN some more.
We barely got him to stand still for this picture. He was so excited to go under the tunnel.Ike is such a cute little guy right now. He is unexplicably mellow. He just smiles and sits.

Here he appears to be flashing me a gang sign of some sort. Notice the tough face.Thanks for the perfect day, ralph ! and happy mother's day, mum. You are the best. and happy mother's day pat! I couldn't have found a better mother in law!
