Trying to Throw your Arms Around the World

I had such an amazing Mother's Day.. The girls gave me sweet gifts right when they woke up.. Sophie gave me a mother's day plate and Emma gave me homemade flowers with a bookmark with her picture on it.

After a really yummy breakfast, we went to Amy and Josh Parker's baby blessing. Their darling girl Piper is such a cutie. It was so good to catch up with them since they live in Las Vegas and chat with other friends from HS that I haven't seen in a long time. My girls discovered a duck nest and romped on the grass with new friends. After socializing a bit, we went to my old ward. It was so great to catch up the women in that neighborhood. They are such incredible ladies.

After that, the girls and I went home to make a cake and get ready for the festivities at my parent's house. The boys made an incredible dinner and we celebrated Mother's Day with Sophie, my sister-in law Kim, and my birthday. To top it off, a friend of mine from Brazil just moved here to Utah. She came over to the house with her husband. It was so great to reunite and chatter away catching up. It's been 10 years since we have seen each other. Francinete looks great, expecting her first baby, and is really happy to be here in the United States.

My family is really supurb. We had such a fun day. My sister Heather is super awesome.. She sent me this...
