Friday night, Phil took the boy and I to dinner and then to the Avenger's movie. I have no idea what the movie is about. What I do know is that Thor and Captain America are in it. For that reason, and really that reason alone, I give that movie five stars! Oh, and Phil got me popcorn. Win win.
Saturday morning, I made cookies. I love to make cookies. All kinds of cookies. They are delicious and always made with love and gratitude because there was a time when I couldn't make them by myself. Now I can and I knock it out of the park! Then Phil and I drove to Brandon and Carrie's. They weren't home, but the babies were and they were there with two babysitters. The babes were pretty sad. So each of us took one, soothed them and put them down for naps. My heart broke a little when they were crying! I love those babes to the moon and back. Afterwards, we headed down to Sandy and took Mom and Pops to a late lunch/early dinner at Cafe Rio. Pops and Phil are like best buds... they totally get each other and they make me laugh out loud... loudly! Then, Phil took me to Draper. Have you been to Last Course?? Go! It's so quaint and delicious. It's such a fun place to get dessert! We went home and we played games.
Sunday morning, I woke up with a numb left hand and unable to make a fist. My face also drooped for several hours. I didn't feel sick or dizzy, so I laid down for eight hours. I missed my Jackson speaking and my boys singing in Sacrament Meeting. My heart broke into a thousand pieces. Jackson did read me his talk last night, but it was a moment I will never get back and I felt so sad. My boys spoiled me rotten. Jackson got me ice cream cupcakes and an ice cream cake. Colton got me a card that EVERYONE had to sign! Kaydon got me caffeine free Diet Coke and the most thoughtful card. Braxton took out garbage and made sure I was okay all day long. Phil brought be beautiful yellow roses and baby's breath. They are gorgeous. He also brought me a few Diet Cokes. The boys brought home a plant from church as well.
I am immensely grateful to be a mama. In particular, a mama to these children. Oh, the blessings they are in my life!
