Play Dates and Mother's Day

We have the cutest little neighbor girl and Parker is in love with her. It's just about the sweetest thing on the planet. The other day we invited her over to play and Parker was the perfect host. He made snacks, pulled out a bunch of books and toys, and was such a good sharing boy. I thought it was funny that he wanted to read and play in his bed. He won't be having girls in his room 10 years from now, that's for sure!!!!

They play soooo well together. It's really pretty cool.

By the way, the weather has been BEAUTIFUL!

Friday night Tanner and I had our date night. We ate at this super cool Japanese restaurant where you cook the food right in front of you in a pot of boiling water. It was sooo good. Then we went to the local theater and saw Annie. It was a fun date. :-)

Saturday morning Tanner had a study group and the weather was phenomenal so, for this first time this year, I threw Parker into the jogger and ran with him. I went probably 2.5 miles with 2 flat tires and a front wheel that was veering to the left the entire time. The back of my legs got so sore from all that pushing! But hey, I did it.

When Tanner got home we packed a picnic and headed up to Salt Lake. We stopped by Spence and Mona Kay's for a little bit and then met Travis and Nicole and the girls at the park! It was such a nice day!!!!

Pretty little Sagie

The kids got a huge kick out of the remote control car Tanner brought.... :-)

Who knew Kaydence was such a monkey???

That night we hung out with Angeluis and the bun in the oven and watched a movie. Love my BFF.

Sunday was such a special day. First of all, Parker saw his girlfriend in the parking lot and was all twitter pated- he couldn't even say hello. :-)

During church he got up with all the other kids and sang me 2 mother's day songs. It was soooo precious. He also gave a talk in primary about Mother's- totally melted my heart. Tanner was awesome and made me dinner and even surprised me with an edible arrangement! (Yum! Love those!) We went to a BBQ that evening with some friends and that night Tanner put Parker to bed all by himself while I sat back and relaxed! Pure bliss!

Words can't express how thankful I am to be a mother. Nothing in this life has brought me more joy. I am eternally grateful to Tanner for giving me the opportunity to become one and I am so lucky to have such a special, unique, funny, tender, brilliant little boy.
