Mother's Day Fun

I had an absolutely wonderful Mother's Day this year. We took Ron's mom to brunch at Gardner Village. It was at 9:00 am, but they had both breakfast and lunch items. It was very yummy! They had shrimp, sushi, made to order omelets and crepes, lunch choices, breakfast choices, a chocolate fountain and a few other yummy items. This brunch is every Mother's Day at the Gathering Place. I highly recommend it. Of course, it is no Little America, but it is cheaper, closer to home and we didn't have to wait as long as we would have had to at the hotel.

We were also lucky to be able to talk to Ron's sister, Kacee, who is serving and LDS mission in Orlando. It was so great to hear from her. She sounded so happy and loves her mission. We are so proud of her!

Lucas really loved the Chocolate Fountain! Rice Krispies on a stick, dipped in chocolate...Yummy!

This year Ron, Lucas and I made gifts for both Grandmas. I thought that I was such a genius to come up with the idea. It ended up being quite a task having a 2 year old make two hand prints per jar. We

had to have several takes to make it turn out somewhat looking like a hand. Lucas was in just his diaper and ended up with purple and red paint everywhere. We had to put him in the bath after wards, luckily it came off easily. The jars were coordinated for each Grandma with their favorites. The red jar with Butterfinger was for Grandma Campbell. It said, "I Love You Much!" The purple jar with Lemonheads was for Grandma Jacobs. It said, "I Love You Bye Bye!" Lucas is famous for these quotes lately. Thank you ladies, for being so wonderful!

I love being a mom! It is the best thing in the whole world. I am so lucky to have such an adorable, sweet and loving son. Thanks to Ron for helping make my day so special!
