A Happy Mothers Day

It was a great Mothers Day this year. My kids woke me up and were so excited to hold my hand and lead me out to the kitchen where a table full of goodies and flowers awaited me. The kids love doing little surprises for me. Jono Surprised me with a mini get away weekend with just the two of us...no kids! This will be the first time ever that we have gone a few nights sans kids! I am so excited to beable to spend time with just Jono. My family happened to be in town for Mothers Day, so we all got together and had a relaxing day with the family. I am so happy to be a mommy, and so thankful for my Mom! It was a good day!

Mama,Mama,Mama,Mama.....

That is what I hear from Gwen when she is having her bath time. Her little arms out strectched towards me with these funny lookin' construction goggles that were in the boys play tool box, with no lense in them, but have now turned into the bath swim goggles, begging me to put them on her. She loves putting them on, and as soon as she does, she knows she is being so cute, and funny. This girl is one funny little peanut. I love her little sense of humor. She is quite the little ham for her young age.
Gwen has to sit right under the faucet when she is taking her bath. She is just taking after her brothers. Carter & Sawyer both fight over who gets to sit right under the warm water. Now little Gwen has learned and nuzzles her way right in there. She loves to just sit there and relax and let the water run on her. If the boys try to move her out of the way to get under the water too, she's not afraid to put up a fight.(:

One lucky Mommy

I am feeling like one lucky Mommy today! I am so blessed to have these 3 cute kids as mine. Each one of them brings something special to our family. They are full of life and so fun to be with. They teach me so much. I feel so thankful for these 3, and that I am their Mommy.

Happy Mothers Day to All you Mothers! You are all so special!

On Tuesday we got together with some other moms and kids in the ward to go strawberry pickin'! The Carlsbad Strawberry fields are so close to my house. I have always wanted to go there with the kids, and we finally made it after 4 years of living here. We had so much fun picking the perfect red, ripe juicy ones. The boys each had there own cup to fill, and they did a good job. Gwen had so much fun being a big girl and picking some for herself.(: She was lovin' it! We are already talking about going back for some more strawberry pickin' fun. Yes, they are already ALL gone!

dirt bike fun!

Jono bought Carter this little red dirt bike a couple months back. Carter, Sawyer and Jono have been going up to the park by our house and practicing on the big grass field. I usually dont go because I am taking care of Gwen. Well this time Carter wanted to show Papa and Grammy his skills up at the park since they were in town and hadn't seen him ride it either and I wanted to go along too. To my surprise, Carter hopped right on his dirt bike and rode around on the grass like it was nothing. He is a natural at it. He says when he is bigger he wants to be in the real Moto X. (: Im fine with him putting around on his little dirt bike for now. (: Sawyer and Gwen wanted a ride too, and I was feeling a little left out of the fun so decided to hop on. (: We had a fun little evening.
