Mothers Day....

While I have a two whole seconds I thought I'd quickly write about my mothers day gifts from my kids before I totally forgot about it....currently the boys are at lowes building me another Mothers Day Gift, a vase!

Yesterday Landon came home from school with a flower they had planted from a seed.  It had two plants coming up and he was so excited.  Shortly after he got home he pulled one of the plants and I said, honey, that'll ruin it.  He was so proud to announce that he fixed it when he put it back in the dirt.  He was so devestated this morning when he saw it shrivelled up but I told him there was still one plant left and that we needed to water it and put it in the window for sunlight.  He perked up again.  He also brought me 5 hershey kisses wrapped up.  Landon loves his treats and I was curious if I was really going to get my hershey kisses so I slowly opened them and told him how excited I was to eat them.  He quickly handed me one and said "here you go mom.  This ones for you and this ones for me".  That's about as good as he gets when it comes to sharing treats:)

Jaden got in the car yesterday and insisted I open his mothers day present.  He made an adorable frame at school and then they filled out a questoinnaire.  Here were the questions and here are his answers:
-By: Jaden
-Age: 6
-My mothers name is: Kimri
-She is: 32
-She weighs about: 205 pounds (So I asked him how he came up with this number since it would have been much more flattering if he had said 100 and he proudly said he'd guessed.)
-Mom spends most of her time doing things like: working (I'm so glad he recognizes how hard I work)
-Her favorite thing to do with me is: play blokus (that's probably true, we both do enjoy that game)
-Her favorite food is: a salad (I eat a lot of salads and LOVE them but he would have been more accurate in saying chocolate; he shares my love for salads too)
-It really bugs me when: my mom plays the computer (first of all, I don't play on the computer, I do a lot of work on the computer.  Second of all, it bugs him because he wants to play on the computer...my little selfish boy:))
-Her favorite TV Show is: How I met your mother (He was so excited he knew this and I didn't know what to say since that show bugs me.  I never watch TV and we have netflix so every morning he sees that left up on the screen from Chris and assumed that was my favorite show.  When I told him it was actually daddy's favorite show he was devasted (I'll never do that again) and erased it and made me write my favorite.)
-The thing my mom likes best about it is: I play with the babies (I do love it when he does that and the girls do too)
-Mom likes to wear: t-shirts (hmmmm...I maybe need to bring it up a notch)
-Mom is always: Happy (good answer)
-I show my mom how much I love her by: she is nice (he may have misunderstook this one or maybe he just showed me by saying I was nice)
-I wish my mom could: do my homework (yep, we fight that battle everyday).
-I like to: play blokus__ with my mom because: it is fun.
-I love my mom. She is: very fun.

Seriously, when Jaden is in the right mood (he's up and down) he is the BEST child I could ask for.  I often remind him that I LOVE good Jaden because he's so sweet, helpful, and does what I ask.  Jaden is so smart and is testing at a 3rd grade reading level.  His handwriting...if they tested would probably be a preschool level:). 

So I look forward to more mothers day treasures.

Yesterday was my moms birthday so we decided to take her and my grandma (mothers day) to meet two of my aunts from Utah in Malad for Dinner.  The food was yummy and the portions were HUGE!  Here is all of us....we had a good time and it was full of laughing!
