Mother's Day

The amazing dinner that David made for Mother's Day!! It was delicious!

The heart cake David also made

All my gifts! New scriptures, a scripture case, necklaces from church from David and Little David and a wooden card that David made me so that I can not lose this one.  He said this way he can add Roman numerals to it each year and never have to get me another card! He is so creative and resourceful!!

Mother's Day was a great day this year! One of my top favorites for sure! It started with the kids coming downstairs and giving me my presents! They were very sneaky this year.  David took all the kids on Thursday night on a mysterious outing.  They came back after about an hour and little David informed me that the got me a cake for Mother's day and THAT is all.  I kept testing them for the next couple of days saying things like, "So you got me a cake and what else did you say you got me for Mother's Day?" They would just laugh and say " Mom we didn't get you anything else, just a cake!"  Apparently little David came up with the cake story on the way home...we have taught them well how to keep a secret. They did a great job keeping this secret.  Then Saturday I was out at Seagull bookstore picking something up and I had Maggie with me.  We went to the back of the store and as we were walking Maggie said kind of under her breath, "Oh ya, I was hear with Daddy." I looked at her and asked her what she said and she just looked away and said, "Oh nothing!" She truly did not mean to say anything, but was just remembering that her and Daddy came her and accidentally said it out loud and then she realized what she did! It was very hard not to laugh.  Anyways so they came down and gave me my new scriptures, a scripture case and my home-made never lose card from Daddy! The kids picked out the scripture case for me! I have been needing some new scriptures for the past couple of months. I left mine on  the couch and then the next morning the front cover was all torn up. Biscuit had chewed them up...it was a sad day.  I do love new scriptures and starting from scratch on feeling them and marking all my favorite scriptures, but I love having a good broken in pair with all of  my notes and thoughts written in it.  David had given them to me, when we were dating and I really loved them. But David was happy to have an easy present for Mother's Day to give me that he knew I would like and needed.  :)  Then we went to church and David was busy as the Elder's Quorum President helping with the Primary and nursery and making sure all the ladies in the ward had a day off...that is all except his wife!:) Parker had a little blow out at church and I had forgotten something at home, so I told David I would take him with me and change his clothes and then he could have Parker...the only problem was that he didn't tell me where he was going to be, so that didn't work out too well.  I ended up having the sweet little energetic and nonstop Parker all during church.  David got some jokes for taking care of all the other mothers in the ward except the mother of his own children!:) Then we went and visited David's Grandma Torgerson to give her some flowers that Maggie picked out and wish her a happy mother's day! It was fun to surprise her! Then we got home and the kids were all informed by David that they were not to bug Mommy today and if they needed something they were to tell Daddy! So I went into my room with no disturbance and had the best nap I have had in a while and then I woke up and thought that I needed to get up to make dinner or help with the kids, until I remembered that it was my one day a year to be lazy! So that is just what I did! I just laid there and bed and listened to David up in the kitchen getting dinner ready! He went all out! We had foil wrapped dinners with chicken, potatoes, fresh green beans, carrots and onions. We also had a fresh salad and he got drinks for everyone the night before!  Dr. Pepper for me, Sprite for the kids, Diet Coke for Molly and Dr. Pepper 10 for Trish! He thought of everything!! We even used our wedding china and the fancy glasses! (WHich David hates to do!) It was amazing. He also made a cake for dessert.  He kept the kitchen cleaned and the food coming!
I asked David how it was taking care of the kids and getting dinner ready with no help and trying to time everything right.  He said he was exhausted and was glad he didn't have to do this everyday! That made me feel great to have him see a little bit of what I go through everyday!! It was an amazing day and we were glad to spend it with the kids, Gabe and Molly, and Trish and Gabby.  I was sad to see my day off end, but glad that it was such a relaxing and peaceful day!! Thanks Baby for the great Mother's Day!!
