Mom Day '12

It's my third year as a mother and my 25th as a daughter! This year was just as great as all the previous years- maybe even better! We headed up to my mom's house to celebrate with crepes, strawberries, peaches, whipped cream, yogurt filling, scrambled eggs, bacon, pudding pie and all other kinds of deliciousness! We had so much fun! I love my Mom! We then went to Afuvai house for dinner for Philly Cheese steak sandwiches and banana splits- that was delicious too! I love my mother-in-law too! My husband and son spoiled me with special gifts that were so close to our family and our hearts. I do love my boys and am so lucky to have both of them help me be the best mom and wife I can be. I'm so grateful for all the women in my life who show me what it means to be a mom. Especially my very own mom, but not excluding my mother-in-law, all my sisters and sisters-in-law, my aunts, my grandmas, my friends, and all those great examples I have witnessed of great motherhood. You have all been such a blessing to me, and so is this journey of motherhood! I especially have to thank my husband for helping me and supporting me in my role as a mother. I am so grateful for his love and patience and gentle heart for me and our family. He's the best!

Us in the Prehistoric, or Perhaps it's the Prehistoric in Us

These are some pictures from our very local and very awesome Ogden Dinosaur Park. We had lots of fun and will definitely be heading back many times over the summer. Look what kinds of silly came out of us!

It was so fun to head out on Jake's day off and spend a little time getting to know our wild sides! PW thought the dinosaurs were so awesome and shared everything with them: conversations, scary faces, funny faces, hugs and all his boyishness- It was great.
