Mother's day recap

So this is a little late, but we had a wonderful Mother's Day! I actually got the extended version this year, because Taylor decided that the whole week before Mother's Day was Mother's week. Needless to say, I got lots of flowers from our trees and dandelions from our grass. As well as, several pictures she drew herself, one of them she hung right next to my bed so as she told me "it's the first thing I see when I go to bed at night." Love that girl! Well, we have church at 9am, but Cort still made time to make us all some yummy breakfast and give me my mother's day gift. He kept asking me what I wanted and I told him a filter for my camera. Well, that's what I got, as well as a little something to go with it! Of course, Cort had to make me work for it though. After I opened the filter, he had me go get my camera, which low and behold the filter didn't fit any of my lens!! Hmmm, I told him why didn't you ask the sales guy which one would be right. Well, Cort then pulls out a little bag and said maybe it will fit this lens. He got me a 85mm which is said to be a great lens for child potraits, which is basicly all I use my camera for, pictures of my kids. So, yes I was very excited! Church was so good too. I love that Mother's Day is on a Sunday and that we get to go to chruch on that day. Taylor sung with the primary in sacrament. And a little sidenote, she also bore her testimony for the second time in sacrament the week before. She is growing up so fast! Well, of course after church we packed up the car and headed over to Herriman Cove to try out the new len. My poor kids they just indulge me. I love being a mom and I love that I have such an amazing mom who taught me so much through her example about, among many other things, the importance of serving others and not just constantly thinking of yourself, she was so selfless, as well as ALWAYS trusting in the Lord. In a letter she left me before her passing she said that we never question the Lord because he always knows best, we are on his time table. Her strength and goodness are such an inspiration for so many. Thank goodness for mothers! I know so many great ones who I admire so much. And who not only influence me, but my sweet kids as well and for that I'm SO grateful! Hope all you mothers had a great day. Thanks for touching my life for the better, and for just being you. Here's a couple pictures of our kids that we took on Sunday. The sun was so bright. Talan wouldn't look at the camera to save his life! All he wanted was to put everything in his mouth from the grass to the rocks to the dirt. And Chase let me take THREE pictures of him in a row with him posing! Trust me that was a real treat! I guess that was his mother's day gift for me!
