My Mother's Day Present

I definitely got the best mother's day present last week. Chad is a little last minute on his surprises, mostly because he forgets until the day or two before, but he always finds the perfect thing. This last Saturday before mother's day he announced that he needed to take miles and he would be gone for a few hours. I love being a mother but I must admit it was nice to have a couple hours of freedom. I got the garden planted, fertilized the lawn and dug quite a few dandelions out of the lawn before they got back. They returned with flowers- who doesn't like getting flowers- and told me there was another surprise but I had to wait till Sunday. We went to a birthday party in Tooele and then he took Miles with him again to "finish the surprise". I went to the grocery store and wandered around for an hour since I am usually racing through the store hoping to get everything before Miles decides he's had enough! The surprise turned out to be a little handmade book, written by Miles, about why I am the best mom. There was a picture on each page and a little paragraph about different things that miles loves. It made me cry and it made us late for church since I had to read it again! It was definitely one of the nicest presents I have received! What a thoughtful husband I have! Thanks Chad and Miles- I love you both!
