Happy Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was GREAT!! We spent the whole day together, just doing what we wanted to do!! Our morning started with Breakfast at Shauna Lu's with Dales family. All of the kids were in such a good mood, I wish we could have spent some more time together, but Debbie had to get back to Iowa. After breakfast, Dale and I went riding around to tour the countryside, it was nice to just take a drive. While we were driving, we got a call from Zach - he was ready to help us take the pool cover off! Well, I wasn't going to let Dale turn away eager help!! So we got the cover off and we're ready to starting cleaning everything up. It's going to take a while, but our goal is to have it ready to swim by the end of the month....hope the weather starts getting a little warmer!!

I guess the rain that we had last week, really helped my flower pots I had planted grow. I thought they were looking pretty good. These will go beside the steps of the pool deck.

















We were able to see that we have some sweet corn coming up in the garden!! I'm so ready to get some fresh vegetables from the garden...there is nothing better.

We still have gobs of asparagus, but we are quickly working our way through it...we've been eating our fair share and giving away just as much.

My family stopped by to visit, but they all seemed to be a little tired from the big graduation party the night before! We were lucky to get some leftovers!! Yum.

After we got the pool taken care of, we went to see Linda and give her her Mother's Day present. Bryce and I hung out with Grandma Linda while Dale did some work at the farm.

The best part of my day was my Mother's Day dinner. Dale and I went to Snoddy's to get some fresh cut Ribeyes....I wanted to try a thick cut steak, restaurant style...so we got them cut 1 1/2" thick. Don't they look delicious....

Dale cooked them to perfection and we had the best meal we have had in a long time! We probably could have shared one steak, but it made for a good leftover dinner last night! Man, they were so good....I need to find a way to top this meal for Father's Day...ummm, I better get to work on that!

My first Mother's Day was awesome, I enjoyed getting to spend the day with my boys. I was happy the weather was good so we could spend some time outside and that we were able to see our mom's on Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day to all moms and grandmas out there!
