Mother's Day weekend
Ok...so here is the deal...I decided that I have been a mom long enough that I really should get 2 days!! So I turned Mother's Day into Mother's Weekend! It actually started on Friday so really I got 3 days!! Friday, Shawn took the boys camping for a Fathers and Sons camping trip that our church does. This was Kyler's first time being able to go...he was super excited!! Also on Friday Kailee had rehearsal until 8:00pm so I went to dinner with some friends and then picked her up...she had to get right to bed cuz she had to be up at 3:30am & be to the jr. high at 4:30am for a trip to San Antonio with her choir. {They sang and then spent the day playing at Fiesta Texas...when she got home at 12:00am she was wired & talking soooo fast about her fun day....her choir won the whole competition and took home the mega huge trophy!!!} So after being up to take her I finally fell back to sleep at 6:00am and then slept in until about 10:45...when I heard Shawn and the boys coming in!! I declared my Mother's Weekend idea to them and told them what I wanted to do for part one (Saturday)...which was to plant some flowers in the yard and get the yard looking nice for summer. We spent most of the day working and making it so pretty! We still have some things left to do but it is looking much nicer and I love the flowers we planted!! Shawn and I ordered some take-out and watched a movie...The Prestige...pretty good. Since we had to wait till midnight to go get Kailee we figured we may as well watch a movie to pass the time! Sunday...part 2...we went to church and when I got home there was a sign on the garage door that said "Do Not Enter...go through front door!" So when I came through the front door there was a sign...
Austin and Ty greeting me and Welcomed me to The Mother's Day Inn...
I had to sign in and get my "Room #"
...Ty led me upstairs and "carried" my bags for me {aka...my purse} He showed me around my suite and showed me my "walk in bathroom, with make-up provided and my walk-in closet that already came with clothes" After I changed into my comfy clothes....I was told to sign up for my lunch time and also for any spa treatments I wanted {the living room was the spa} ...a little side note...Austin had cleaned the entire downstairs too!!
I signed up for my lunch and while the chef {Shawn and Kyler} were preparing a turkey wrap with a side of Mangos. My spa man {Tyson} brought me a diet coke and then gave me a foot rub and a backrub! Am I the luckiest or what!!!?? After lunch I got lots of coupon books, sweet cards and lots of loves and kisses. The kids let me take a nap in my suite. We had dinner later in the "Feast Hall" which was fabulous!!!
Grilled chicken and mushrooms & onions with brown rice and roasted corn on the cob!! Yumm-O!! We made a few Mother's Day phone calls and then went outside to enjoy the beautiful evening! It was a great day!! I am the most blessed mom ever! My kids are fantastic (my hubby too) ...my weekend was perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything better!!!
Austin making me chocolate chip cookies. And of course Kyler made me some Wiggles!!
So here are a few pics of the boys camping!!



Austin took this picture of the deer they saw while camping!
The boys found a lizard last week...so here they are all taking turns holding it! As many of you may know...I don't do lizards...I hate them! So these pics were from a distance using the ever useful zoom feature!!
