Mother's Day and Maile!!!


What a week it's been! I had my first mother's day yesterday which is so fun! Being a mom is the best thing ever! Jed and Cody started the day out right by making the ladies a big ole breakfast and it was grubbin! We then headed off to church and then out to the farm to celebrate mother's day with Jed's family which was another grubbin' meal. On our way home we stopped by Jed's mom's grave to put flowers on it---I always find it to be such a sweet feeling when we visit her grave even though I didn't know her very well I have such respect for the mother that she was and the great job she did in raising Jed, Lesa and Chad---they are all three such good people.

Maile and her boys have been here all week hanging out with us. It's been sooooo fun. Who knew Maile and I would end up being so close and like hanging out with eachother seeing as we hated eachother growing up. Her boys are so fun to have around and I'm so impressed with how polite they are. She's seriously done the best job in teaching them manners and to be obedient. Below are a few pictures of Kangaroo Zoo. We went with Meridith and her kids and of course I had to bring Rylee ---they seriously played non-stop for almost 3 hours. It was all we could do to get them to force down a cookie before playing some more. I think it's pretty much a toss up as to who's the most bossy----Quinn, Rylee or Hayli???


Finally after a week of being here Cannon warmed up to Jed and I. Until then he gave us the best stink face every time we looked at him. He thought Jed was quite alright after he took him on a 4-wheeler ride behind our house. Below is a cute picture of Quinn and Rylee. Rumor on the street is that they got married at my house one night while they were playing. Every morning Quinn would wake up and say to me "which of my friends is coming over to play today?" He thought he was quite popular.
And of course I had to include a cute picture of my chunky monkey Cash. He had his 2 month appointment about 2 weeks ago and weighed in at a nice 13 pounds 9 ounces. The best news is that he's sleeping a good 8 to 9 hours a night!!!!!!

Such a fun update of everything. Cash is just changing so much. I can't tell who he looks like because I'm awful at that....all I know is that he's stinkin' cute.

Congrats on your first Mother's Day! Cash is so cute. I think I agree with Carrian, he looks like you. But who really knows. So, I finally started a blog. I know, it's about time I joined the 21st century. Send me your personal email (mindirandika@gmail.com)and I'll send you an invite. I think I only have your work email. M.
