Mother's Day

Mother's Day was really fun for us this year. Sami made me the cookie flower bouquet at preschool and the booklet about her. The girls can't figure out why we aren't eating the cookie flowers. But I just love looking at it.

Sami has the best CTR teacher. She started as Sami's nursery teacher and has just moved up with her class every year. Plus, she (Sis. Harris) has sat in the bench with me every Sunday that Jonathan has had to work for the past 4 years. I just love her! And she helped her class make these cute flower magnets. And she made one for Janie, just because. Janie is a sunbeam but she knew I would want one of both. She is another grandma to our family. 

This is the inside page of Sami's preschool booklet that she made for me. I love her little self-portraits. She understands that everyone in the family has brown eyes except her so I always know when she is drawing herself because they have blue eyes.

I LOVE this page of what our family looks like and the picture of me jump roping. I have been doing an exercise video in the morning and jump rope in place, and so Sami drew me exercising.

In Primary, we had the kids fill out these cards about their Moms. Kristen, the Primary president, didn't tell me what Janie's said but she told me that she had tears coming out of her eyes she was laughing so hard. Now I understand why.

If you can't read this picture, it says: (Janie's answers are in the large type)

You rock. You are scary face.

When you dance with me, it makes me happy. I love doing things with you, especially help me do dishes. You are so good at taking naps.

Jonathan and I were both laughing so hard when we read this! The scary face must come out when I am trying to take a nap. :)

And Sami drew me another sweet picture of herself.

Being a mom really is the best. It is as awesome as I always knew it would be. I am one blessed Mama.

Happy Mother's Day 2012
