Mother's Day


This picture was taken on Mother's Day last year (also Morgan's Confirmation Day). No, I didn't wear the pink Crocks to church; they were a Mother's Day gift. Laugh all you want--they're COMFORTABLE!
We had a nice Mother’s Day. My kids are so special, and it’s such a blessing to be a mom. When I got up this morning and went into my office, there was a small remote control on my desk, with a note that said, “turn to the right,” “press power,” “ENJOY!” Cody and Morgan had gotten me a CD player/radio for my desk, and Cody had it all set up and ready to listen to. It was so nice of him to get it out of the box and all unwrapped and hooked up for me.

Later in the afternoon we went to the graduation party of a good friend of ours, and I got to see some of my mom-friends I know through cattle showing.

It is hard to believe that Cody will be graduating from high school next year! We will certainly miss him when he goes to college! But we also know that it’s our job as parents to raise our children to be independent, productive members of society. On the way home from the graduation party, Cody (who has been to several other graduation parties of friends) and I started a list of the things he would like at his graduation party next year. It was fun to start planning—I’m sure the year will go very fast.
