My mom loves to relax by... going for a walk (Zach); taking a nap (Lily).

The best thing she cooks is... nutella sandwich (Zach); egg-in-a-hole(Lily); potato soup, meatballs (Anwyn).

When my mom shops she likes to buy... eggs (Zach); milk (Lily); you buy what we need (Anwyn).

My mom’s favorite household chore is... clean the bathrooms (Lily).

If she could go on a trip she would go to... Canada and Utah (Zach, Lily, and Anwyn).

We had a nice Mother's Day. Jared made biscuits and sausage and bacon for breakfast. I enjoyed all of the nice cards and pictures that the children drew. Jared gave me a fitness tracker--I wear it on my wrist and it will track my steps and daily mileage and do the date and time. It should be interesting--I am looking forward to getting back to running after a little more new-baby-rest-time.

In the afternoon we went to church, with new baby Adam. Jared played the organ in sacrament meeting, and I put Adam to sleep in the foyer. The men took over the running of Primary for the day, so I got to attend Sunday School and Relief Society, in between feeding Adam.

For dinner that night we had grape-jelly meatballs, rice, and salad. Jared made a yummy carrot cake for dessert.

I am thankful to be a mother to four awesome children (with a wonderful husband at my side). I am also extremely grateful for my own mother and mother-in-law--they are great women who I have learned a lot from!
