Happy Mother's Day!!

Hope all of you mother's had a wonderful Mother's Day! Mine was pretty good. Ron's grandma Jo Killmer passed away last saturday after her liver shut down not too long ago and her funeral was yesterday so Ron left early friday morning to fly out to Wyoming to attend the funeral and is coming home late tonight, so he wasn't here for Mother's day, so that was a bummer! My dad and brother took Jordan & Jarom for a father/son campout friday with Ryan's old ward, so they were gone friday night/saturday, so us girls decided that we would get a hotel at the beach and have fun (with Michael, Aaron & Emma). So I booked a room at the Hyatt in Thousand Oaks (I DEFINATLY recommend this hotel!) and the plan was to spend the day in Ventura. Unfortunatly, thursday night/friday morning Aaron started getting sick and throwing up! So, Amanda decided she would stay home with him, so it ended up being me, my mom, Michael & Emma on the trip. We had lots of fun! It was nice to get away and to have such a great trip! I guess we wore out the kids, though, because Michael didn't get up until after 9 am & I finally woke Emma up around 9:30 am so I could get her ready for church! Church was nice. My dad spoke and gave an amazing tribute to mothers and I cried! I had hoped for my first homemade mothers day gift from Michael in Nursery, but no such luck. Our ward didn't have the kids do anything, so I was a little disapointed since Ron was out of town and I didn't get any mothers day gifts (except for the rose they passed out after Sacrament.) Oh well, maybe next year! We then went to my parents for dinner and had some ribs! Yum! After dinner we all sat around talking and playing with the kids, watched the Survivor finale', came home, put the kids to bed, and now I'm just killing time waiting for Ron to get home (which wont be until like 2 or 3, since his plane was due in at 11:40). Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and hope that all you mothers' families make every day mother's day!
