Mother's Day Weekend

We started off our weekend going on a hike with the Cub Scouts at the Riparian Preserve Saturday morning. It was very sunny and quite warm. The boys Addy works with were working on an elective about birds... unfortunately, we didn't see many. We cooled off afterwards with smoothies before running last minute errands. We also had a farewell party to go to that day. Our friends, Spencer, Christina & Emerson Harrison, are moving to Boston and they had a pool party to say good bye. They are awesome friends who will be missed, but hopefully we will have a chance to visit them. Addy's family planned to do Mother's Day on Saturday, so we didn't get to stay long. After a quick nap in the car and a dash home, we made our way to the Bowman's for pizza, wings, and ice cream. It was nice to finally sit and cool off, but all three of us were worn out!

Sunday was less than ideal for a Mom. Ethan woke up with a sour attitude. He typically sits through Sacrament Meeting well, but had two trips to time-out. Nursery didn't pan out well either. Ryan was subbing in Primary, so it was all Addy when the Nursery Leaders brought Ethan into Gospel Doctrine. Ethan was saying he needed to use the restroom, but wanted to go home. After another struggle in time-out, he made his way back to Nursery. Long story short... Addy spent the rest of Church in the hallway outside Nursery. After Church we headed to Ryan's parents house to celebrate Mother's Day with his side of the family. We had a nice time visiting with family and some good food. Addy's highlight - Ryan's dad remembered that she doesn't like nuts in cookies and made some w/out just for her. Thanks Eric!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing women out there... who are Moms... Aunts... Sisters... or Friends. We hope that the day went smoother for you than it did for us!
