Happy Mother's Day

It was a lovely day on Mother's Day. We got up early but I was given my breakfast in bed before we left to church. How blessed can a girl get to have such well behaved, smart, funny and good looking kids. All I was thinking about was how quickly this time will fly by and no more cuddles every morning. So, I got extra loving today and thanked Heavenly Father for the opportunity to help in the great plan of salvation. Never far from my mind is Zach and I can't wait to have him celebrating with us again.

This is what Golden wrote about me for Mother's Day. It comes with a drawing that actually came out in the front page of the newspaper. It is a picture of him next to me with a grocery cart full of groceries. If that doesn't sum up my life: Feed the masses. Or as Christ asked Peter, "If you love me, feed my lambs." Boy, do I love the Savior if it came down to that. 

Pool Time with the Family

The In-Laws are visiting and the kids love that there is almost as many adults as kids in the house. So with  ample hands we had a splash in the pool. The girls were in costume. The babies in these cute ballerina bathing suits I bought and Eva in her mermaid outfit which she uses as her only bathing suit these days. The boys were in classic board shorts and couldn't be cuter. I do not take for granted every day that I wake up in paradise with the sun shining and the breeze blowing and wonder to myself, much like Phineus and Pherb, "What am I going to do today?" It's been pretty busy but we always find time to be outside.

Gigi liked to be pushed back and forth across the pool as fast as the mermaid tail could push her.

Beau liked being pampered. She let Golden spin her around while she laid back and soaked up some rays. Later, she let grandpa hold her while she air dried.

Carlos, as usual, loved a good cuddle with grandma. And tried to eat her necklace while he was at it.

Love Gisele's Don King look.

Earlier in the month, the older bambinos had Field Day. I was so proud of them both. I see so much of Mike in their physical abilities. They are really naturals at sports.

And lastly, Eva had a cross country run (2miles) which we did with her. It was so cute to see her with her friends running and giving each other encouragement all the way to the finish. No walking in this group.
