Happy Mothers Day and Anniversary

Happy Mothers Day!

If you missed it I would recommend seeing the last episode of the TV show "The Middle" it was a mothers day special that was particularly relateable and pretty funny. Well my mothers day was not like the Mom on the show, it was great. This is mostly thanks to my wonderful husband. It ended up this year that our anniversary came on mother day too s I feel bad that he did all the work today. I got fun homemade cards from the kids and they cleaned the playroom as their present to me clean house my favorite. Eric is the best he made me crepes for breakfast and the most delicious dinner. Grilled Pork chops and asparagus with rice. Then he made the best fennel and sage cream reductction ever. Wow what a great dinner thanks hun! and thanks for a wonderful 7 years.

Super Smiler

Jacob has become a super smiley guy any time he is awake and fed he is smiling up a storm. I don't remember any of my other kids smiling so much so early. 2 months yesterday

Morning Date ... Estate Sale

Eric and I went on an early morning date to an estate sale. It was tones of fun. If you have never been to an estate sale it is often when someone has dies or is downsizing and they are trying to sell everything in a house. This sale was a good one this older lady had a great book collection and was a big crafter. We spent a couple of hours looking though boxes and bookshelves. The hunt is half the fun. We found some great stuff and left with only spending $30.


our haul
Eric found some old books $1 each one was free

bag of antique lace $4

Ties 25 cents each 8= $2

Embroidery hoops $5

Embroidery floss $14

Box of Trim $3

We had so much fun I recommend estate sale as a fun activity even if you are only looking.

David ism

As Dad was taking Jacob up to be blessed Grandma Willett says "because your Dad had the priesthood he can give Jake this special blessing" as Eric was walking down after a beautiful blessing I hear David wiser to himself "oh good Jake has the priesthood now" We corrected him but it was pretty funny. I am glad he was thinking about the experience.
