The first week & a half of May was full of things to celebrate. Both of my parents had their birthdays -- my mom the big 60! -- and then Mother's Day. As an activity to celebrate my dad's birthday & Mother's day for my mom & I, we took a trip to the Downtown Aquarium for the very first time. (My mom had already been showered with presents & Dan got to come along b/c he was footing the bill. lol.) It was wonderful! We were all impressed with the exhibits & felt it was a good value and perfect amount of time for the children. Next time we'll just go to the restaurant instead of packing PB & J because their lunch menu prices are great too. We'll certainly be going back there someday. Oh, & Michelle was terrific -- pretty much slept the whole time while I walked around with her in the Baby Bjorn. I am actually quite shocked at how easy a baby she is, especially since I'm her mom. (;
Here's a picture of Grandma with her Dairy Queen cake.
And later Grandpa with his lemon cake.
And here is me with my 3 miracles the Sunday after Mother's Day. Can you see how tired Michelle & I are? (;Mother's Day itself was not nice b/c Kaelah had a cold & Danny was cutting molars. It was actually quite miserable for all of us because they were so uncomfortable. Since it was Mother's Day, I didn't have to teach primary but I wanted my annual box of chocolates. Dan stayed home with the oldest 2 while I went to Sacrament meeting & then we switched in the parking lot so Dan could go teach. It wasn't the grandest Mother's Day but we survived. (: And someday this picture a week later will mean the world to me. The surprise Mother's Day of switching from one child to 3. What a year of life changing miracles.
