Mother's Day

It was a great Mother's Day!  

Friday, I enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day Tea with Cannon in his classroom.  They had poems to read, and a wonderful song they sang.  We ate muffins and juice and Cannon gave me his gift, a beautiful flower drawing that I must frame!  I also received a nice place mat and note from him, too.  

Colson has a special package for me as well on Friday when we got home.

On Sunday, the boys made me breakfast, with Chris' help.  Colson had everything organized in his mind the night before, asking me what I wanted to eat.  He and Grandma Kathy made the fruit salad Saturday.  Cannon helped with the eggs and made the toast.  It was so sweet and so yummy!  Love them!

It was wonderful to have mom and dad here this year for Mother's Day.  We decided to head down to the Olympia Farmers Market.  We started the day off with hot chocolate and coffee at a local coffee shop next to the market.

I got a few pictures of myself with the boys.

It was great to walk through the market.  We looked at everything and bought some fruit.  I love all of the beautiful displays.  Cannon and Colson liked the free samples of jelly, apples, pears and honey. Of course, they also found the lavender vendor and smelled almost everything she had for sale!  

The boys got a delicious treat from one of the bakery vendors.

Both Cannon and Colson enjoyed the playground at Percival Landing.

We walked south down the docks, looking at boats, enjoying the views of the capital in the distance and the waterway next to us.  There were wooden boats on the city docks so we looked at those and the boys got to board a 60 foot, 1961 boat.  They LOVED it and were still talking about it before bedtime.
Also, there were more vendors to walk through, which we weren't expecting. We stopped and had kettle corn and relaxed while the boys played for the second time on the toys.

There were a couple of street performers during the day and we caught two acts.  The first one was a magician that had a very good show for both the kids and adults.  The second one, below, was a humorous young man who could do a lot of cool things, ending with juggling fire sticks.  Both Cannon and Colson were enthralled.

We stopped at the property after coming back from Olympia.  It was nice to show mom and dad the progress that has been made and walk the property lines.
Then we finally made it home for a bit of relaxation before dinner.  Mom put a pork roast in the oven, and we set out green salad, the left over fruit salad and rice.  It was so very good!  And Colson helped Grandma dip strawberries in chocolate.  Those were great for dessert!  

We had a wonderful day together as a family and that is what it is all about.  While I love and cherish the cards and special gifts, it's about spending time together that means the most.  I enjoyed the day and it was full of great things for everyone.  Lots of memories!

Enjoying every moment.
