My Day Off

I was very spoiled this Mother's Day. Tanner woke up with Mariah, fed her and even sucked out her snotty nose. I think I could have slept 'til noon if Mariah's blood-curdling screams didn't wake me up (she is not a fan of the nasal aspirator). This is what I woke up to:

Magically Delicious Crepes (they were filled with strawberries, bananas, peaches, whipped cream and chocolate ice cream. Then topped off with caramel chocolates and chocolate syrup, my man knows me well). And cheesy love notes (in case you couldn't tell, those are cheezits). One of my requests for mother's day was a "cheesy love note" from Tanner. He may have taken me a little too literally. So he isn't much of a romantic, but he sure can make me laugh.

Tanner cleaned the kitchen and made Mariah a lunch while I got Mariah and myself ready for church. After church he made me dinner and a delicious peach cobbler that we shared with friends. And once again, he did all the dishes. He's a keeper.

Mariah gave me a great gift for Mother's day as well. After church she had a little bit of a meltdown so we decided to put her down for a late nap. When I got her up from her nap she cuddled with me for a good ten minutes. It was wonderful. I don't think she could have given me anything that would have made me happier.

I am so grateful for my own mother. She is such a wonderful example to me. I am so grateful for the decision she made to be sealed to my father for time and all eternity in the temple and to have seven children. I know it wasn't easy; now that I have my own child I know just a fraction of the sacrifices she made each and every day. Thank you mom for all that you have done and continue to do!

I'm also so grateful for my mother-in-law. I know that Tanner didn't end up being as gentle and caring as he is and with such a strong Testimony by accident. Thank you momma Crossley for all that you taught your son. We love you so much!
