I was sure spoiled this year for mother's day! Tige was so excited about my presents, he made me open them on Saturday night. He got me an Ipad! Everybody in the house was excited. I had no idea he was doing this. (Note: he took it to work 5 days in a row until I told him he must leave it with me now! lol). I told him he didn't have to buy me anything if he would just mop the floor for me! :) He also bought me a beautiful coral colored charm for my bracelet. We saw this charm in Puerto Rico on our cruise, but I didn't buy it, and then I regretted it. So he got it for me.
In scouts kason made me a jewelry holder. It's a pice of rectangle wood he stained that says "MOM" in sparkley pink paper on it. Then he screwed about 20 little gold hooks on it. So sweet of him. I'm sure they worked on it at scouts for about a month!
Our ward gives all the women real Hawaiian leis for mother's day. How special it makes us feel!
And we had an AWESOME dinner for mother's day. Blackened tilapia with a cilantro/lime butter sauce. This is one of my all time favorites. With it we had some coconut rice, fruit and artichokes. Tige came home from the store with 4 artichokes, which I thought was a too many since my family is 7 used to have to share 4 artichokes growing up, but my kids gobbled them down like crazy. Even baby Taylor was eating them as fast as could be. Tige and I could hardly get a leaf in our own mouths before he was squawking for "more."
Have you ever seen a 1 year old scrape artichoke leaves with their teeth? Mine does!
Kason also wrote me this beautiful letter at school. It says: "Mom, I love you because you take sutch good care of me. You help me in all I do. And your SUPER NICE! And thank you for bringing me on vecaiton. And thank you for giving me toys! Anyways, your a great MOM! Love, Kason Hazleton"
And Abby made a cute flower with stickers on it. It was a fill in the blank her teacher helped her with. Her's says:
"I love my mom because: eyes
My mom is as beautiful as: Abby
My mom is good at: Flower
My mom teaches me: chores
My mom loves me because: family
My mom makes the best: sandwiches
My favorite thing to do with my mom is: blocks
I feel special and loved today. And I sure love them too!
