Mothers Day Weekend.....

We had a fun weekend! Friday Tyler's buddy's took him out to dinner and then to play pool for a little going away party. Since he was out playing I thought it would be fun to take the kids to do something. We went to the movies. We saw the Avengers. I was so not excited about going to see this movie, but the kids wanted to so I gave in. I'm so glad I did, we all loved this movie. It is action packed and very funny!
Saturday Tyler wasn't feeling very well so we stuck around the house and that evening we watched RSL. We are still HUGE fans!
Sunday was a blast!
I always love Mothers Day but this one was my FAVORITE!  The kids spoiled me with hand made prizes. Shayna made me a card and decorated it so cute.

 

She Wrote.....Dear Mom,

 Happy Mother's Day!

I love you very much!

Thank you for everything you do for me. 

I like the way you take good care of me!

I love the way you tickle me.

I love the way you make me laugh.

Your Daughter,

Shayna

 

Britton also made me a card. It says....

Yay, It's Mother's Day!

That kid seriously makes me laugh! He also gave me some  coupons to use. I can use them so that he will clean his room. He will also help Shayna clean her room and he will help me with the dishes. Most of the coupons say "I will TRY to be nice to Shayna for one full day". I better hurry and use them though because they expire on May 20th. I have the cutest, funniest kids ever! No wonder I love Mother's Day!!

We left our house Sunday morning and headed for Sedona. Sedona is only about and hour and a half drive from our house. We took the scenic route and went through Jerome. Jerome is a little mining town that reminded me so much of a mix between Eureka and the old neighborhoods of down town Park City, Utah.

 

Remember the weird cactus I posted about that is in our neighborhood. They are all over in Jereome and Sedona. 

 

They are called the Century Plant (Agave Parryi). They grow a tall stalk that sports bright yellow and orange flowers. So the red part that you see above is the bud. They will soon turn into blooms. 

 Sedona is beautiful. Lot's of red rock that reminds me a lot of Moab. I don't think it is as amazing as Moab though. Once we got to Sedona we wanted to go for a hike so we drove up Coconino National Forest.

It was perfect weather to play in the water. We all started getting hungry so Ty took us all to a restaurant at the airport that he always flies into. It is such a nice little airport with beautiful views. I felt a little under dressed but it was OK. The food was delicious and they even gave me a pretty carnation for Mother's Day.

After lunch we headed back home so Tyler wouldn't miss his playoff games. They won the first game and lost the second game. Next week they will be playing to see who takes first or second place. Tyler won't be there though because he will be starting his new job in Henderson!

Nobody felt like cooking dinner after our long day so we had a Mother's Day dinner at Wendy's. It doesn't get any better then that.

Tyler and the kids got  me the best present ever! I have been wanting a new RSL jersey for years. I have the very first one that came out and I wanted one a little more updated.

Cute Huh

Happy Mother's Day!!
