Mother's Day Dinner

Due to the crazy weekend with My Birthday on Saturday and then everyone's different church meeting times we decided to hold the Annual Mother's Day Dinner Friday Night. I wanted to do something pretty easy so we had Chicken and Salmon Kabobs, Sweet and Sour Pasta, Rolls, Mint Juleps (which we DELICIOUS if I do say so myself) and rice. Dessert featured a Strawberry Shortcakc Trifle which was also Yum, Yum.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day Jeremy and I kids let me sleep in. They then surprised me with a picture of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.

Jeremy and I have discussed that we should get a picture of the temple to have in our house and although Jeremy and I were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, our little family started with our little boy Jack where we were Sealed together as a family in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and that I was also 7 months pregnant with Abi.

We then packed a cooler with some water, gatorade and pasta salad and headed to the busy Liberty Park downtown.

 

After getting tired of the park we decided to head over to Brooke and Logan's. Since they weren't able to make it to our little Mother's Day party I needed to deliver Brooke her little gift. In the end we found Mom hanging out and they were starting to make some Cotton Candy with Mom's machine.

 

 

We didn't stay too long, but it was fun trying and tasting the cotton candy.

 

Thank you honey for a fun filled day.

 

Two Birthday's and a Mother's Day Treat

What a busy week...

First it started with my birthday on Thursday. Jeremy snuck flowers into the house and arranged them, they were so beautiful.

 

That day the kids were a little challenging and we were able to get what we needed to get done. Overall my birthday was really nice.

 

Since my Salon is up and running, I figured I would make some Mother's Day party favors. I used canning jars and made some hand/body scrubs for each of the mother's that came over.

the scrub recipe consists of - one lemon to one cup of sugar.

 

Friday the kids spent the night at their Grandma's with three other cousins and Jeremy and I were able to go out and celebrate my birthday. We headed to Sakana for some Sushi then went and got some Ice Cream from Cold Stone.

 

Saturday we got stuff ready for the party, picked the kids up from Grandma's then headed to their soccer game. That was a fight in itself. The Kids didn't want to play.

 

The party was going to start at 2 pm with Hamburgers, Hotdogs and pasta salad with some chips and punch.

 

After lunch we then celebrated Jack for his 4th Birthday.

 

 

Such a fun and busy day. Thank you to all of the Mother's out there! I Love You Mom, and I hope you had a great Mother's Day!
