Birthday weekend - part 2

On Saturday evening Logan and I went to dinner while Logan's sister Kelcy and her roommate babysat our kids. We ate dinner at Red Robin (one of our favorite restaurants because of the fries and strawberry lemonade). I received a coupon for a free birthday burger there which we gladly redeemed. We also had a gift card with some money left that we used to paid for our lemonade, so it ended up costing us nothing but a tip.

Next we went shopping at the Provo Town Center mall because Logan still wanted to find some khaki pants (his birthday was last month). It was fun to take our time and shop without having to worry about the kids. We got to give each other our full attention. We finished out the night getting some ice cream at Coney's Frozen Custard. It was sooo good.
(Sorry, no pictures from that night)

Then on Sunday I took at long afternoon nap while the kids were sleeping. And then we celebrated Mothers' Day and my birthday with Logan's siblings and his mom. Logan asked me what I wanted for dinner and dessert, and I picked to have brisket (to remind me of Texas) with yummy sides and cherry cheesecake for dessert. Every thing was delicious. And Logan and his brother Braden even cleaned up after dinner since it was Mother's Day, and the rest of us were girls. I was thoroughly spoiled.


And speaking of Mother's Day, I am so very blessed to be the mother of these darling kids. I couldn't ask for more precious children in our family. Just tonight before bed, I was talking to Leah about families and how Logan and I loved each other so much that we wanted to get married. And she asked "You and daddy love each other?" and I replied "Yes, we do." And she said, "I love Daddy and Cameron and you, Mommy."

Oh, how they melt my heart.






And I would love to say how much I am grateful for my own mother and my mother-in-law. They are both there to talk to me and give me motherly advice. While growing up, my own mom was and continues to be such a great example of sacrifice, unconditional love, and support. She's been there for me for both of my babies' births and helped me get started as a new mother. I'm so glad that she raised me in the gospel and taught me how to love those around me. Happy Mother's Day (a few days late), Mom!
