Mothers Day!

I always like to take a picture every mother's day with all the kids. I wish my scanner worked so I could share my first picture with Emery, seems like yesterday really. Of course it is never easy to get a group picture of everyone, especially after you have been grooming everyone for an hour trying to get ready for church. I love how it's just the boys who are losing it in the picture, but hey we got a picture right?

I actually had to go to Urgent Care right after we arrived at church, because I suspected I had a urinary tract infection. This was so disappointing to me, because exactly a week before I went to Urgent Care for strep throat. I joked with the nurse about things happening in 3's. I told her I would probably be back with pink eye or something next week. But as I am typing this I have a sinus infection now...seriously I think Landry is sucking all the immunities out of me, if that is even possible.

Bryan had to go to work right after church, great for all the moms that work at Costa Vida that got the day off, not so great for me. So I decided you know what I don't want to sit at home all day and feel yucky, so I packed up the kiddos headed down to my mom's house for Mother's Day. I wasn't originally planning to go anywhere, especially when it is a school night, but you know I just needed to be with people. We enjoyed a nice steak dinner my dad cooked for us and the kids had fun learning to play crochet with Pepa. We were sad we didn't have time to make a stop over at Bryan's parents, but we did see them the night before when they came to have dinner with us in Yuba City.

I'm thankful to have such a great mommy, and I feel even more grateful to have such a wonderful mother-in-law. Both of these ladies encourage me to be a great mom, and are great examples to me. My mom probably deserves some kind of award for having to put up with all my phone calls every morning, to update her on all my fustrations. She's such a good lady for still answering the phone.
