Happy Mother's Day!!

I was spoiled today, the whole weekend really. Mike made me a delicious breakfast yesterday, he and the girls continued the tradition they started last year of buying and potting me flowers, this morning I was awakened to a new skirt (and the girls even agreed to match me for church), and then tonight we had a delicious grilled steak dinner complete with steamed veggies and gourmet mashed potatoes, followed by a lovely walk in some nearby woods with friends. I barely lifted a finger these past two days.

Mike called his mom and I got to talk to mine via facetime for a few minutes (as well as my missionary sister--hurrah!). We will also get to see my family soon and are having Mike's parents over for dinner later this week, so more visiting with our wonderful families is in the horizon! :)

Anyway, I was thinking today about this video we made as newlyweds to wish our wonderful mothers a happy day. We are so lucky to have been brought up by such wonderful, faithful women. I love them both with all my heart and hope I can turn out to be as good as they are.

Thought some of you friends might enjoy seeing dorky us circa 2007.



This video is good proof we can't blame all our clutter on our cute kiddos and that I always forget that the camera records in landscape orientation. Also, the end got cute off, but it was just us wishing our moms a happy day. (And this is me promising that next time I upload a video, I will finally sign up on vimeo or youtube so that the quality won't be so horrendous.)
