So, the night milker decided to just not show up one evening, so guess who got to milk, Jared. This doesn't happen very often but he had a little buddy to help him out this time. I think Jared really enjoyed having Trenton out there with him. I made them dinner and brought it out to them. It was really pretty cute to see both of them working together.
Trenton wanted to play Fall soccer this year. He really enjoyed it. A lot of his friends were on his team. Mike Burgin coached the team and is always really good with the kids.
Jared and I got to go on a trip to Mexico this year. So fun! Our 10 year anniversary is May 10, 2010. We were wanting to go on an adult only trip so this worked out perfect. We went with the girls I work with at Jay's office the end of January. I was about 5 months pregant. I had an excuse to not look perfect in a swimsuit. We went to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. We mainly did a lot of relaxing on the beach which was perfectly fine with me.
Arriving in Mexico
Jared and a few other people went on a fishing trip. They
We decided we need one last summer fun trip so we went camping at Lost Lake. Needless to say everyone else had the same idea. We ended up finding a spot next to Andy and Lara Hoch (our neighbors). We set the tent up in the dark and didn't realize it was going to get so cold at night. The kids just had their little lightweight sleeping bags ...so they were freezing. We sat around the campfire and roasted hotdogs and had smores and got REALLY dirty. The kids loved it.
Taiylor and I and our friends Lizzie and Jody Starr went to a Taylor Swift concert in Boise. When we bought the tickets I had no idea that the concert was on a Sunday. I told Taiylor about it and she was quite nervous about it being on a SundaY. The day of the concert came and we went to church and then came home and got ready to go. Taiylor started getting a headache and by the time our friends picked us up it was pretty bad. I gave her some tylenol hoping it would help. Our first stop was Olive Garden. That is one of Taiylor's favorite restaurants. As we were waiting for our food Taiylor said she didn't feel too well so she got up to go to the restroom and on the way she threw up everywhere. Poor girl was so embarrassed. I don't blame her. I think she was so nervous it made her sick. But, she ended up feeling a little better.
We got to the concert and it was really neat. I think the girls enjoyed themselves. But, I will remember next time, No Concerts on Sunday!
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I have such great children. Trenton ran to my room first thing in the morning and asked me what my favorite "breaftust" was and then told me to stay in bed for a really long time. So, of course I had no problem doing that. The kids and Jared then served me breafast in bed: Pancakes with berries and whip cream (my favorite) and orange julius. Yummy.
The kids gave me all of their homemade gifts which I will treasure forever. They were so excited to give them to me and see my reaction. It made me feel very loved. Everyone was so good to me. A great day.
This is a picture of the bag Trenton had hid under his bed for about a week, and then my beautiful rose he taped to the bag.
We went to the cemetary with Jared's sisters and dad to visit his mom's headstone. IT was really nice to have everyone there. We all got a little emotional, but it was nice to honor her. She was a great lady.
May 10th was also Jared and I's 9th wedding anniversary. Wow! He sent me 3 pink roses to work on Friday which was so sweet of him. Totally unexpected. After I told Jared about Trent's experience with my roses. He clued me in as to why he did it. He told Jared, "wouldn't it be nice Dad if I could give mom a rose like you did. I think she would really like it." Jared told him that was a really good idea, not thinking he would go cut one of mine. What a sweet boy. He was just trying to make his mom happy.
I love being a mom. What a joy it is to have your kids love you so much. THey are so forgiving.
