Mother's Day 2018

This was the best mother's day ever!

It started out with getting two new toilets installed the day before, and a new tablecloth (that I bought myself from Darin and the kids).  Darin also bought me a new blender!  The day was filled with treats, goodies, breakfast in bed, dinner made by Darin, gifts and jewelry from the kids, and so much more!  I love being a mom!

Another favorite part of my day, was this sweet post from my "oldest" son Isaac!  

I was also able to participate in a mother's day program in our ward with three amazing ladies.  We each represented a different mother in the scriptures.  I was one of the mothers of the stripling warriors.  It was a special day!

11 Month Lucy

Oh little Lucy!

I can't believe we have almost finished your first year!

You are getting more active, but not much bigger.

You still fit comfortably in a 3 month outfit.

Balboa Park

We had the same blessing at Balboa as we did at La Jolla.  We drove and drove to find a place to park.  Finally, as I was ready to give up, the man in the FIRST parking spot honked and said he was leaving and I could take his spot!  Best day!  Oh, and when we got there, we saw a little old lady and I told her we only had an hour to spend and asked he what the best thing she had seen at the park was.  She said, "The mama duck with her 4 little ducklings!"  I was confused, and then she explained that it was our family!  Ha!  Cute lady!

La Jolla

We had a tender mercy at La Jolla.

I REALLY wanted to hike the cave, but we drove for TWO MILES without finding a single parking spot.  I really didnt' want to walk two miles with four kids and THEN do the cave.  I decided to circle around one more time, and when I did, the NUMBER ONE parking spot was available!  It was a great day!
