Happy Mother's Day

Mother's day is here, so I think I shall update on the fun things we have been able to do with our kids that make me a mother.  This crazy weather has been absolutely beautiful and then absolutely chilly.  Despite the weather we have been able to make a couple trips.  David and I got a trip to see Alexander, Ivy, and Weston and then we took the family camping.

David and I decided it was time to make a trip up to Alex and family.  It was just the two of us and we had a wonderful time.  Weston is growing, smiling, and interacting more.  We got a chance to go out to dinner by the river.  It was so lovely and peaceful, and the food was amazing.  Weston was adorable at the meal and as the table next to us was leaving they wanted to let us know how adorable Weston is.  Alex and Ivy have been turning a part of their living room into Alex and Ivy's office so that the current office can be a guest room.  That is so sweet.  Ivy's dad has been doing most of the work, what a blessing.  Sunday we got to go to church with them and enjoy the service and especially worship, as Alex is the leader.  We always enjoy getting to make the trip to see them and I am so thankful they are as close as they are.

Last weekend we took our first camping trip of the year.  My parents, Brent, Latisha and August, and Brent's parents and brother went with us.   It was wonderful.  The weather was a bit chilly and even rained on us, but we were able to eat under the shelter and keep dry.  A nice part of having a bit chillier weather is no bugs.  We camped at a place called Three River's Crossing and it had a free interpretive center that explains how the covered wagons made it across the river.  It turned out to be a lovely relaxing time.
