Mothers Day




I stole this cute picture from my sister's blog (thanks Lori!). We were lucky enough to spend Mother's day in San Antonio with my sister (new mom to a 3rd cutie) and my mother. Besides getting kicked in the head by Afton in the middle of the night - she was mumbling something about wanting her shoes on - I had a wonderful mother's day! Thanks Mike and everyone else in the ward that I asked to save me some chocolates. Now I have new motivation to exercise!
**If you click on the picture, you can see my fancy toes - my sister and I went for a mother's day pedicure - my first! And just for fun you'll have to scroll over to see Jake's expression with his hand in the cookie box!

Great group shot! Jake had some really good camera moments. Afton, of course, steals the show!


Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
