My Mother's Day Weekend

I had a lovely Mother's Day weekend. One thing that was especially wonderful was that I got to see ALL of my children! Yes, even Nathan was home from deployment :) I got to have AnnaMae, Nathan, Gabriel and Gwendolyn for a visit and then Emily and Cody arrived as well(with Rylee, Cody's little sister.) On Saturday we all headed down the hill to Fresno where some of us attended a wedding and then we all went to dinner and a movie together as a family (Nole and Heather joined us too). On Sunday, Emily and Cody fixed me the most yummy mexican dinner and made a beautiful cake for dessert. We sat on the deck in the warm sunshine and visited after we ate. Cody did a little fishing and he, Edward and Jeff played around at rock climbing near the house. Oh, I almost forgot! Jeff bought me some beautiful plants for the front yard and planted them for me. I got very sweet cards from everyone and felt so loved.
"Thank You everyone for a great weekend. you are my favorite people!" Being you "mom" is a real blessing to me.
