I Love Mother's Day . . .

I love being a mother to our sweet son, McKay. He brings me a lot of joy and love. I also have three foster girls whom I also love. One day I will be able to show their pictures on my blog.

Steven gave me a dozen beautiful red roses for Mother's Day. He is always so thoughtful.

Steven also gave me a couple of cards and lovely gifts. He also took me out to Red Lobster on Friday. I have a wonderful husband and family. I am very lucky.

My Beautiful Mother . . .

I have a wonderful mother and I love her so much. She has always been there for me and my family and I'm so glad to be able to honor her on this Mother's Day. She is an amazing lady with a lot of extradordinary talents. She is dedicated to her family and the gospel and I'm proud to call her Mom.

Happy St. Patrick's Day . . .

McKay enjoyed wearing green to preschool today. Everyone in his class had green on except for one little girl, but he said that no one pinched her. I made McKay and Faith green macaroni and cheese for lunch, they loved it. For dinner, I am going to make a pistachio salad and a few other green items.

Happy Valentine's Day To My Dear Family and Friends . . .

We had a quiet Valentine's Day this year. It fell on a Sunday and half of my kids were home from church sick so Steven and I had to take turns going to our meetings. I decided to make a fun red dinner with salmon, red potatoes, strawberry salad, etc. Steven and I exchanged cards and candy and gave cards and treats to the kids. McKay enjoyed taking Valentines to friends in the ward and Grandma and Grandpa Pearson.
