Mother's Day

Since Jared is gone on Sunday's he and the kids gave me my mothers day presents today. I told Jared that all I wanted for mother's day was to do nothing, but have everything done. In other words I wanted to lay around and be lazy, but I can't do it if the house is a mess. So Jared and the kids were in charge of all the cleaning, cook, potty training, everything. So that is what Jared gave me for mothers day. He did dishes, made all the beds, watched the kids, cook lunch, dinner, (Candace cook breakfast) dressed Degan, and was super sweet all day.

Candace gave me a beaded string for my key chain. I really love it. She did a great job with it. She also made a "book" that had all the things she loves about me in it. It is thoughtful.
Malia gave me a really cute card that had a poem and flowers with kisses (Hersey's) on it. And a surprise that she had been keeping a secret for a week. And a week is a really Looooong time for her. When we were in Salt Lake last weekend Malia stayed with her Grandpa Cannon while we went to Candace's last volleyball tournament. While we were gone she was a big helper and helped Grandpa dig a trench in his yard. So when they went down to Lowe's for some parts Grandpa said that Malia could have $5 for helping him out. Malia told Grandpa that she didn't want to spend the money on her. She wanted to buy me a mothers day present. That really impressed Jared's dad, but it doesn't surprise me. She is a very thoughtful girl. Anyway Welles helped her find a flower to give to me. She and Jared hid it and took care of it all week and I had no clue at all. Now I just pray that I don't kill it, because she will be devastated if I do.

I am so thankful for the 3 kids I have. They truly are the best kids anyone could ask for. Oh I forgot Degan gave me a mothers day present too. He thought it was so fun that everyone had given me a present so he went outside and got 3 toys of his and brought them into me. He said "I have a present for you to mom." And handed me a toy tire, a plastic water gun, and his lightening McQueen car. Then he told me that he need to wash them for me first. It was really cute.
