To start my mother's day off right, I attended a "Moms and Muffins" brunch at Bennett's school.
He and his classmates dressed up in costumes showing the moms what they wanted to be when they grow up. Bennett chose a fireman.
After a song called, "I am a Promise," the kids got to pick a book and to read with their moms.
Bennett chose a book so fitting for us - it was about a boy who was feeling kind of sad because his mom was busy. No matter what his mom did, she couldn't make him smile. So she decided to do a bunch of silly things to try to find the smile.
Finally, at the end of the book, they both fell down in some mud and got dirty on accident - both the mom and the boy giggled and giggled. That same day, Bennett and I decided to make cookies - this is how he looked in the middle of our baking experience!
After the story, Bennett made me a beaded bracelet and then we enjoyed our muffins.
It was such a special morning!
Our mothers day weekend was full of family time.

Our mothers day weekend was full of family time.
On Saturday the whole family helped out at Chris and Mindy's farm with tree cutting and yard clean-up.
To
say that we were tired and dirty is a huge understatement. Everyone
helped - even Brooks was busy picking up sticks and supervising the
site.
The kids had so much fun riding in the rangers, playing on the farm, seeing Alissa's 4-H cow, and running free. Once they were all clean it was a quiet ride home.

On Sunday we spent time in Spencer.
Liz and Andrew were back in town with Allie and Ryan.
We enjoyed a nice meal, time at the park, and cuddle time with those sweet babies!
After a busy few days, we headed home. It was such a windy day, we decided to fly a few kites, mow the lawn, and enjoy shake from one of our favorite drive-ins.
Being a mother is such a blessing...and I continue to be ever so thankful for my 3 children, my husband and partner in raising them, and the ability to go to my 2 mothers for guidance whenever I need it.
This year, Marie wrote her own card and shared a sweet moment with me that I will always hold onto...especially when she is in her teenage years and not liking me all the time ;)
