Mother’s Day 2021 in Vegas!

We spent Mother's Day this year in Las Vegas.  We had driven down for Justin Martin's wedding that was going to be held the next day on Monday.  Jackson and Sidney had sent me flowers from their home in Lubbock, Texas.  Jens and Alexandra made me the cutest candy poster and Jeff gave me a card.  We had a delicious steak dinner in the hotel restaurant.  

We had a great time in Vegas. We went to Fremont Street that night.  I have never been down there before and it was awesome!  I loved all the cool flashing lights and fun things to see.  We spent time in the pool, went shopping at the outlets.  I bought myself three new Kate Spade purses (it was Mother's Day after all) had dinners out together and completely enjoyed our time at the wedding!  As per their usual, Caden and Molly were the life of the party.  They danced up a storm!  Super fun trip!

My Baby turns 14!

 

Rugby

Cade decided that he no longer wanted to play baseball. I was heartbroken! Baseball is my most favorite sport. But I told him if he was going to be done with baseball, then he needed to do something else. He could not just sit idly by. Rugby was an option but he was very nervous to play. He was so afraid of getting his ears ripped off! I had to talk him into playing but as soon as he did and started to practice, he quickly fell in love with the sport and it has become one of his favorites! 

Easter

 Easter was just a little bit different this year. As it does a lot, Easter fell over a weekend that was in spring break. Molly had plans to go to St. George with Scott and Jessica‘s family and Brad and Shannon‘s family for spring break. Since it would be over Easter, they would be celebrating it down there. The day she was leaving for spring break, I quickly set out both of her and Cade’s Easter stuff and let her get it early. Then I let her choose what candy and clothes she wanted to take down to St. George. Jessica gave her another Easter down there as well. So Easter morning, Cade was the only one waking up to Easter baskets.  Jens and Alexandra came over and we colored eggs and then made deviled eggs.  They also brought Easter baskets for me and Jeff.  It was such a sweet and thoughtful thing for them to have done.
