Jazz game, T-bone steaks, and Target practice

To hear that title, you wouldn't think I was talking about what I did for Mother's Day. Well, knowing my husband, maybe you would. I am going crazy, not having a camera because we had a wonderful Mother's Day. Sorry to those of you (like me) that would rather look at pictures than read ramblings... I am here to ramble. Yesterday was not what I would have planned as my perfect mother's day- but it was, oh so perfect. We started with church- what could be better than that? Our lesson in Relief Society was on the Priesthood. Sort of different- for a Mother's Day Sunday. I was, again, reminded of the blessings that come from having a worthy member of the Priesthood in my home. I'm so thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving me a husband that honors his priesthood. After church we went to Gary and Katie's house for lunch. Katie is in Florida right now, visiting Erin and Tanner, so Gary made a delicious meal for us on his own. T-bone steaks on the grill, chicken pasta salad, and grilled asparagus with onions and mushrooms. Divine! Brent is in town and so is Gloria, Katie's mother. It was wonderful to catch up with "grandmother." We met her last summer, when we first moved to Sunnyside and hadn't seen her since. She is an amazing woman, and I love being able to spend time with her. Kent was glad she was there too, because she is a Jazz fan. It helped Kent feel a little less guilty, for turning on the Jazz game on a Mother's Day afternoon. Then we took the kids out to the pond and watched Lola (Brent's dog) fetch the ball into the pond. I wished so badly I had my camera. To see Ethan standing on the edge of the pond, in a beautiful grape vineyard, throwing a ball for Lola to chase. It was a picture perfect moment. Then Gary taught Ethan how to shoot a pellet gun. We put a box on the opposite side of the yard as a target. Ethan hit it everytime. When we came home, Kent let me cuddle up in my bed (with my book-the Host- and some brownies), while he took the kids for a walk to see the cows. Did I mention there was a Rodeo, this weekend, going on in the field next to our backyard? Hilarious. Anyway, I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Thank you, Kent for being a thoughtful and loving husband.
