Mother's Day

I love being a mom and I feel I am appreciated every day.  But it is nice to have a specific day dedicated just to us.    Trevin's preschool had a party for all the mom's and made us feel like celebrities.  Trevin was nice enough to pick his own outfit out..complete with a minion shirt.  Jason pointed out how nice it was of me to conveniently cover up that so called minion shirt in the picture below.  Hey...I love minions as much as the next person.  Also, the necklace I am wearing was handmade by the boys.  
  
All the kids sang an awesome mom song for us...which Trevin had been singing in the house for the past few weeks.  So I knew all of the words.  
After the song, each kid ran over with a card.  
 I mean, how cute is that pic??  Old style photos..great idea!  Trevin's preschool teacher always does the best projects.
 On actual Mother's Day, we headed down to spend the day with Teresa.  We went on an awesome hike and went to lunch.
Jason and his Mama
I feel like I never get a decent photo of Teresa and the boys.  This one was the best I could do.  I'll keep trying...
Because who doesn't wear gloves on a hike?  "They will help me climb up the rocks".  
I walked behind Teresa and Trevin for awhile and just loved listening to the conversations they were having. 
 The boys did great on the hike and made it all the way to the top without complaining once.  Mind you, it wasn't a super duper hard hike, but hard enough.
 On top of the world...
 All Teresa wanted to do was explain things to Trevin....
...all Trevin wanted to do was throw rocks.  Look out below!
Jason took Trevin close to the edge to get a better look...
He kept trying to get Ryden to come closer to the edge.  Ryden stayed put near his safety place...thank you Ryden. Less heart attacks for me to have.
We found this cool heart made out of pretty rocks.
And Ryden found a cool marble
We decided to take the faster way down which happened to be steeper than the way up...yikes!
We made it down safe and sound and read some signs.  "No shoveling dogs"
 Casual stroll back to the car.
 Happy Mother's Day!
