Mother's Day

we had a nice family day... nothing too exciting or extreme, but great quality time. cj woke up early and then was back asleep before 7 am so we didn't actually get out of bed until almost 9! we made pancakes, went to lowes and spent the morning working in the yard. both of my kids LOVE it outside. cj is full on walking and checking everything out... he's a mess and into everything. everyone laid down at naptime and has a peaceful afternoon. tina and sam joined us for dinner, which was nice for kaetlyn to have her buddy to play with for a while... and nice for me to have some grown female conversation! we cooked a nice dinner, spent a little time outside, and let the kiddos play. fun day! i received a barage of items from the kiddos school, and craig also helped the children pick out a present and card for me. kaetlyn picked the dvd 'Brother Bear' and this was my mother's day gift! at their school, kaetlyn's class made strawberry jelly from scratch... YUMMY!

on saturday we went to the farmers market in the morning, and then to 1890 ranch shopping center in the afternoon. nice sushi dinner & book shopping... and baskin robbins. all in all it was a fun weekend with my favorite people in the world.

so continued on from the 'always with you in my heart' conversation last week... last night when i was kissing kaetlyn good night, she put her hand on my check and said:
k: mom, when i'm not with you just put your hand right here. i'll always be with you in your cheek
me: my cheek, huh? (laughing)
k: yes, i'll always be with you in your cheek
funny kid!
me: so, you're going somewhere?
k: yes, i'm going to africa to save the animals

LOVE HER!
