Mother's Day was good. I'll admit Mother's Day is one of my least favorite holidays. Unfortunately, I got that attitude from my mom, who hates Mother's Day. I tried really hard this year not to get my hopes up for anything and not to expect anything either. Maybe that's the secret. My house was a mess from Saturday, and I didn't even let that bother me. When Todd and I went to SLC about a month ago, I found this music stand that I liked. He said that he'd give that to me for Mother's Day. On Saturday morning when we were getting ready to go to breakfast, Kody wanted to ride our bikes. When I got outside and was ready to go, Todd had our bikes side by side. He asked me which bike I wanted to ride. I thought this was an odd question, since my bike is purple - why would he want to ride my bike. Keep in mind, my purple bike was a little small for me but as much as I ride it worked fine. He quickly went to the shed and brought out my new bike ---
Suddenly, I understood Kody's excitement to ride our bikes! I really like it, the handle bars are up high so I don't have to ride hunched over -- sometimes that was too hard on my back. I've actually gone on a few rides and enjoyed it very much. Thanks Todd and boys! It was a great Mother's Day.
Also, on Mother's Day was Jake's (Todd's nephew) mission farewell. He is going to Madagascar -- seriously I didn't even know there was a real place called this! If I was his mother, I'd be a nervous wreck! It was good to spend time with family at the park after the farewell. We wish Jake the best!
