mother's day

i hope everyone's mother's day was well!?! mine was GREAT! it started off in the morning with jason getting up with jacob so that i could sleep in. PTL! then my boys brought me breakfast in bed. they brought me hashbrowns nicely centered on a plate, with strawberry halves placed on the outside of the plate around the hashbrowns... it looked like a big flower. it was mighty tasty! then i got out of bed and showered and got ready and everything and we played hookie from church. we went to cheyenne, wy. and went shopping and out for lunch and just spent some family time together. it was very much needed!!! we had a wonderful time eating at sanford's grub and pub. i had heard of the place from my friend hyde and have wanted to go for quite some time, so we finally found it and tried it and it is a definate "go back to" place. jason wanted to order off the kids menu, but restrained himself... they had footlong hotdogs and hotdogs are one of his favorite foods. so, i ordered one for jacob and jason ate about 2/3 of it. it was HUGE! it was about 1 1/2 inches thick and came with fries and applesauce and a gummy worm and a pickle. jacob was really excited when he got his food. he had already eaten about 1/3 of my onion rings and dip.








after we were done there we went out shopping and looking for a dress for jos' wedding in a month, but i still haven't had much luck. over all, jacob made out the best with shopping. he got a box of nappys, a swimsuit/diaper, bible trivia cards, and a "grow your own towel/washcloth". i got a bag of banana chips and sunflower seeds, which i snack on quite often at work. on the way home jacob fell asleep which was really good and he looked quite satisfied!








jason didn't get anything, except me... how much better does it get!?! just kidding... actually, when we got home, our lawn looked really nice and i said "wow honey! the yard looks really nice!" jokingly, jason said it was because of the fertilizer that he had put on, but he hasn't put any on it, but i said well, it looks like it is freshly mowed and everything. then, i knew he hadn't done the backyard yet, so i went back there and looked and sure enough it was mowed. well, i knew right away that the neighbor had been over that day, so sure enough we were leaving for ice cream and we saw him outside and i said thanks and immediately he said, "well, it's mother's day... have a good one." so, to say the least, jason got the lawn mowed for mother's day. normally i make the neighbor a rhubarb crisp when he mows the lawn, but he told me not to worry about it this time, since it was mother's day and he just wanted to help out. we have been really blessed with wonderful neighbors! hope everyone enjoyed their day as much as i did mine! ... oh! before i forget... one of the most exciting things of my day was when we returned home from our day in cheyenne, jacob needed his nappy changed, so we went into his bedroom to change him and i could see he was ready to go again, so i quickly walked him over to his potty and he actually went pee-pee on his new potty for the first time... yeah!
