Mother's Day

I had a really nice Mother's Day.  Luke and Eliza had sweet gifts for me, which they'd made at school: Eliza decorated a small pot that she'd planted flower seeds, and Luke had a booklet he'd filled out and a popsicle stick picture frame he decorated.  The booklet was full of hilarious and sweet Luke-ness!  Ben and the kids also signed a card for me, which was really sweet!

Luke described this picture as Mom (pink) being mad because Ben (red)
gave Luke (blue) a machete.  Also, there's an asteroid.

Apparently I threaten my kids, "Clean your room
or face the spray bottle!" and forget to cook the green beans.
I'll work on those things.

We went to Church in the morning, I attended a special Relief Society meeting at a woman's house, then Ben helped the kids with lunch while I took a nap.  I felt like I was walking better that day than I had previously so I requested that we go spend some time outside.  We drove up to Big Springs Park and walked along the path for a little while, stopped at a stream crossing to hang out and take pictures, then turned around and walked back.  It was so nice to be out in nature - something I hadn't done since my accident!

Back at the house, Ben grilled teriyaki chicken for dinner and the girls put together mango sticky rice for dessert and it was wonderful.  I'm so glad that I get to be a Mom and that I have this awesome family!
