Jake's Birthday Part I
Jake's birthday... April 9... it snowed like 2 feet! It was crazy weather, and cold. And he had a cold so he didn't even get to play outside. It was really fun, though. We did family presents in the morning. Jake was thrilled. Unfortunately, he had to ride his scooter inside. He whispered to me that he likes his scooter, but mom, I don't like pink! (it is read, but the wheels look a little pink). Still, it was a fun day. We had everyone over for fajitas at night. Jake really, really wanted a wedding style cake, with tiers, so I tried to comply. It was a delicious homemade chocolate cake with ganache frosting. Did I mention delicious?! I tried making it a little more kid looking with sprinkles...I can't believe my baby is six!
Brookie is really into Jake's Batman towel lately. She requests it after the bath and insists on the mask. It is hilarious. Proof below.

Back in February... continued
My uploading feature is going a little whack. I don't know which picture is which, but here are some from back in February. We went to the aquaplex, swam, and climbed the wall. My 11 year old niece really didn't want to go alone, so I gave it a go! It was fun, even though I am secretly scared of heights. The one who surprised us all was Alisa! She got over 2/3 of the way up, and with determination! I never would've guessed she had it in her. And yes, she is still in her jammies. She just never changed before we went out. I know, I know... mom of the year, right here.
Also, my kids LOVE all the babies in our family. Jake keeps asking me when I am going to have another one. He wants a boy.

A Real Mother's Day
My day started out great. I had two requests: first, I wanted to sleep in. Second, no dishes. Both wishes were fulfilled. I slept in, (waking up on and off) with earplugs and an eye mask, until 8:45 am. It was fabulous. I woke up and studied the New Testament for Sunday School, uninterrupted. It was lovely. The kids and Scott came in with scrambled eggs, toast, and a basketball water bottle for breakfast. So far, my day was going great!
Scott is now the Young Men's President, so he has meetings from 11-1:30 on Sundays. We have church from 1:30-4:30 now. So the kids and I were alone for a lot of the morning, but even that went well. Brookie took a nap, and we rushed off to church, as usual (does anyone else have this problem? No matter what time church is, we are rushing!)
Anyhow, my mom brought Brookie to me from the nursery after our first hour. She was a little droopy, a little feverish, and just cuddly. I held her on my lap during Sunday School. All was going fine, until we got into sacrament meeting. I was talking to someone while holding Brooke, when all of the sudden I was covered with puke. She proceeded to throw up over and over, all over me, the pew, Alisa. It was a mess and stinky.
I am so grateful for Scott and my parents! My mom got right to work with wet rags, Scott took Alisa, and I took Brookie to clean up. B and I went home while my parents helped Scott with the kids for the last hour. Brooke was so distraught that she got my shirt dirty and her dress dirty. Over and over she told me how she coughed and how my shirt was messy. Poor thing. She perked up after some ibuprofen, and we had a good rest of the day. Bless Scott for cooking and cleaning even though he was sick himself.
She ended up "coughing" again while sleeping. I'm glad I checked on her before I went to bed. She was lying in a pool of throw up. Poor girl! She's been ok so far today, so that's good.
I just can't help but thinking that what I experienced was a real Mother's day--the kind when you are a mother, even when you want a break. Overall, I had a great day and I felt very blessed not only to be a mother, but to have a wonderful mother, mother-in-law, and grandmothers.
I hope Mother's day was more restful for all of you!!! :)
