Mother's Day was awesome today! This whole weekend has been great! Juan made me breakfast this morning. Eggs, doughnuts, bacon and milk! Yummy! He also helped me pick up the whole apt, so it wasn't a disaster when we got back from church! Great guy! Me and 3 other friends headed over to Frontier Pies at noon to get our "free" piece of pie! It was great! It was only the beginning of such yummy treats for the day! Church was also great followed by more goodies! We got cookies in RS, Keenan and Damon had cookies for me, and then we got chocolate afterwards! I need a detox this week!
Being a mom is really wierd to me! I love it in every way but I still can't believe that I have two boys that depend on me for thier every need! As soon as I walk in the room, Damon starts to get fussy cause he wants me to hold him! I don't know what I did to deserve the boys I have, and that I am entrusted with them, because I fail misserably sometimes that I wonder if I'm capable of such an honor. I love being a mom, and I love being a wife!
We had a potluck with a bunch of our friends in the ward a couple hours after church. I have been thinking a lot lately about where our life is going to take us in the next few months and the next year. I'm so excited for Juan to be getting done with school, and moving on to "real" life, but I can't deny or lie that I am truly going to miss Rexburg and the friends we have made here. It's not going to be like this anywhere that we move. It's a little sad. As I was sitting outside tonight with our big group of friends (as pictured below) I couldn't help be thankful for the opportunity that we had to move here 2 years ago! It has flown by! I can't imagine where out life would be if we had stuck around and did nothing. Of course we miss family like crazy, but this was an amazing step in our life!
Me and the Boys before church
And of course I can't leave out my mom! It is "Mother's Day" after all!
This lady is AMAZING! I really don't know where she gets all the energy and spunk to do everything she does! She's an awesome choir teacher, (so i hear from the great vine, and an honered teacher of the year) she must be doing something right! Piano teacher, wife, mom, grandma, and whatever else you throw at her she will do! She is an amazing example to me, and to who I wanna be when I grow up! I look like her, so its just getting that other part down! I miss her like crazy and miss being able to just call her up one day and ask her if she want's to go to town with me. She's the only person I can trust for a long period of time with Damon, and it's so fun to see the grandma love that comes towards my boys. I don't know what I would do without her and her example to me. I love you mom (and dad) and can't wait to see you in July! get you r party shoes on cause your not in school, and were all gonna be home! :)

In church Yesterday are Bishop told us that sometimes we feel like we are failing in being a mother and wife but only because the things that we do we have practiced at and have gotten so good at that it seems to easy and we forget how hard it used to be. Your wonderful mom and I know because I have seen the love your family has for you. Can't wait to see you guys in July.
I'm so glad you had such a great day. You deserve it. I think you are like your Mom in more ways than you ever realize. She has passed on great characteristics.
Brian and I often talk about Rexburg as our "good ole days." It has never been the same, and our dearest friends are from there. I guess that's why you soak in every minute.
Happy Mother's Day, Alise. You make my day on many occasions. I wish we lived closer. We would be doing lunch (dinner) right now! As it is, though, we're probably both knee deep in studying. Our brains are working overtime. :) Yikes. One of my students had on a shirt today that made me think of you. "If you think I'm crazy, you should see my mother." Ha ha.
Love you!!
Love, Mom
