Mother's Day!

Wow, the month of May is almost over! We had a fun Mother's Day afternoon with the Farmor and Farfar, Rik, Jenny, and the boys! Christel made some delicious food as always. (I know I always say this, but if you haven't ever eaten anything she has made you are TOTALLY missing out!) After our tummies were full the kids played with some fun toys from Farmor! Then they got to go "swimming" in the hot tub! The weather was so perfect as was the company! (But we sure did miss the other brothers and their families!)

Brynn was content just pushing the little chair around while we enjoyed the yummy food!

Jenny showing the kids her awesome moves with the hulu hoops!

I love the bright colors!

Enjoying some good ole' messy cheetos!

I got to hang out with this little cutie!

May 2009

• Kajsa saw a commercial for a water gun and she was telling me she wanted one. She was telling me about how is worked and that she squirt it in your brother's face. I said to her, "But you don't have any brothers." She responded with, "But I have friend brothers." I asked, "Who are your friend brothers?" She said, "Jack and Luke are my friend brothers." (Jack and Luke are my friends' boys and we usually only see them at church functions. I am glad that she can call them her friend brothers though!)

6 years...

Simon and I have been married 6 years! WOW! We didn't do anything too special for our anniversary because it was our Young Women girls camp fundraiser dinner on Friday night. How romantic!?!?! We did go out for lunch today and ran some errands all by ourselves! That sure doesn't happen very often! On Friday morning Simon told Kajsa that it was our anniversary and he explained it to her as our "family's birthday". (Since Kajsa is so into birthdays) What better way to explain it! It is the day we started our family! I am grateful for all that Simon does for our family and for working so hard so that I can stay home to be with our two beautiful daughters! We have made so many wonderful memories and I can't wait to make many more!


A friend of mine did this little questionnaire and posted it for their anniversary. I thought it was fun and so here are our answers!

3. What's one food he doesn't like? Hmmm...I can't think of one! He eats pretty much anything!

Sara's rebuttal: I am sad he brought up the chocolate covered cinnamon bears because I ate the last of them last night! For the record, I don't mind at all that Simon plays soccer, I just wish it wasn't always on Saturdays because that is the day he is home. But in his defense, they do play early on Saturday mornings so he is home for the rest of the day! I just had to laugh at Idahoan being part of my heritage. He must be a city kid! (But, we are both beetdiggers! I was a true beetdigger and he was a Jordan High School beetdigger!)
