The boys at church on Mothers DayHaving church at 9am on Mothers day was a real "treat". Nothing like getting everyone ready and out the door, AND to church by 9am. Let's just say that I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I was starving. Good thing they handed out chocolate to all the mothers after sacrament meeting. I was sitting in Primary holding Jonathan, and I am feeling pretty snazzy in my new dress that I am wearing for the first time, when all of a sudden, Jonathan hurls down the front of my dress. Not only down the front of my dress, but down my leg, and enough left over to fill up my sandal. Nothing like warm lumpy vomit between the toes to liven up the morning. The moms around me were thoroughly grossed out and thankful it wasn't them. Baby wipes are a gift from heaven. When noon came, I was stinky (from vomit), hungry (from no breakfast!) and tired (being up a lot as Jonathan is cutting yet another tooth!). Our church house is right around the corner, so Nathan rides on Trents lap (he is quadriplegic and in a wheelchair for those of you who don't know that) when the weather is nice, so I just meet them at home. Well, they snuck out of church early without me knowing and on the door into the house was this sign:
As I walked into the house, Nathan and Trent were there to greet me looking all proper and said something like: "Welcome to the Mothers Day Hotel. Food for you and your son Jonathan awaits you in the dining room" (and then they swung their arms across the front of their body pointing me into the "dining room" aka kitchen). I walk into the kitchen and this is what was there:
(sign says: Happy Mothers Day Love Hotel Staff)
I was shocked! Waffles, cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon AND extra chocolatey chocolate milk! They had prepared food for Jonathan and Nathan fed Jonathan while I sat and ate (devoured)my food. It was ta die fowr! There was so much love put into this meal it truly touched my heart, it still gets me choked up even now to think about it. I am so blessed to have such a great family. It brought back memories of all the times Nathan and Trent have made me breakfast in bed. Even back in the early days when Nathan was real little, they would put yogurt in a bowl, or cook instant oatmeal in the microwave, or scrambled eggs in the microwave "Power Ranger Eggs". And now they are cooking full on meals. It is incredible to me the things that they can accomplish together. Trent is such a wonderful dad. He tells Nathan how to do things, step by step, and the things they accomplish just truly amaze me. I was truly "feelin the love". And to top it off, Jonathan took a 2 1/2 hour nap, so I got a good nap (except for the fact that I kept waking myself up with my own snoring! I was out!) What a wonderful mothers day. Life just doesn't get much better than that.
