Mother's Day!  I think this was my BEST Mother's Day Ever!  The kids had rode their bikes to our small town grocery store the day before and with their own money, bought me flowers, a bag of mini marshmallows, a hershery bar and snickers.  This morning they sent Nate into my room to snuggle in bed with me so I wouldn't get up, as they made breakfast in bed...

After eating my delicious breakfast and coffee and I came down to find flowers and my treats and some amazing home made cards!

We spent the day hiking at the Safari, what a wonderful way to spend time together!

We finished the day with a 6 mile bike ride stopping for ice cream along the way!  Yes the PERFECT MOTHER'S Day all away around!

Today, Kati came home from school and said, "Mom, you know how you are always telling us we go for what we want?" I said, "yes." Well she said, I tried out for a small solo group for the Night Of Memories at school and didn't make it, so I went in today and asked Mrs. Acker if I could be a part of one of the small groups.  I know all of the words and could sing for her.  Well, I am now part of the small group!  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!  It makes my heart Smile! (so I grabbed the camera and took a quick picture to help remember this!
