Mother's Day

A great weekend for this mom! The storms had us cancelling our overnight camping plans for Friday evening but we still took of early Saturday morning to take in some day camping.  Upon arriving at Lake Tawakoni with the Hancock family, Anjuli and I took off for a hilly 6 mile run. We saw turtles, donkeys (that "smiled" their teeth at us), and a vulture which we convinced we were not dead yet.  Did 11:30 minute miles which made me very happy...and sore.

At our return, we found sandy, wet kids having fun in nature and Neal cooking up breakfast. We waded up to our wastes in the muddy water while our kids soaked themselves from head to toe.  We enjoyed the sun and some conversation before our lunch was brought to a close by light showers. 

Back to our home, we continued our fun with s'mores made over a wood burning camp stove in the Hancock's backyard during intermittent light showers. 

On Mother's Day, I got to sleep in while Neal was kind to make my favorite lemon poppy seed pancakes topped with fresh berries. It was a lazy morning. Church was great.  Bishop really holds womanhood sacred and supports the women in our congregation.  Enjoyed a call to my mom to share my love for her.  A very nice weekend.  And although it is trying, I love being a mom to two great kids and with the support of an amazing husband.
