A Happy Mother's Day

We are in Utah for the summer and we got in late late Saturday night so I completely forgot it was mother's day when I woke up, but not for long! Rylynn ran in to me and said Happy Mother's Day mommy, and then Garrett came in and she and he sang the Mother's Day song from primary for me. It was so sweet. Garrett just got called to primary a couple of weeks ago so he has been learning the song and secretly he has been teaching it to Rylynn. It was such a sweet surprise. Then we went to my Mom and Dad's ward for church and when it was time for the primary kids to sing Rylynn runs up to the front and the kids all moved over so she could be right in front and she looked right at me and sang every word!! I could not believe it! She has guts! She isn't even in Primary yet, but no one seemed to mind. It was so cute. Then we came home early so we could talk to my sister on her mission in Estonia on the phone. That is always so much fun to hear her voice. It is the last time we get to talk to her before she comes home which is crazy to me! It has gone so fast. After that my Dad and Garrett slaved away in the kitchen and made us an amazing dinner!!! For appetizers, they made stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, and artichoke Parmesan French bread. Then we had an avocado grapefruit salad and then the main course was chicken piccata, lemon risotto, and honey mustard asparagus!! Needless to say we had plenty to eat. Then we finished it all off with banana coconut cream pie. Thanks Dad and Garrett!! It was an awesome day! I love being a mom!
