What a difference a year makes!!!

Such a different day from last year.....Last year was not a pleasant Mother's Day for my family. I was 5 1/2 months pregant..and my mom had passed away. Living in Indiana it was very had on me, not being here with her, flying in from out of town, having all these hormones running through my veings as it is, add such a stressful day as this. We had gone to the Funeral Home for a private family viewing and driving up there were people passing out Mother's Day Poems..........which I took and had to put away imediately upon viewing...it was too much to take that day. Fast Forward to 2008........ We are now living back in Las Vegas. It's my first Mother's Day.....and we go to church for the first time as a Family. It was GREAT! It was so calming for me, and all the women over the age of 18 recieved a nice gift (anti bacterial lotion to keep our hands soft and clean). After church we changed clothes and went to Seth's step mom Suzi's house. Maile had a great time! She put her feet in a pool for the first time! She loved it! Maile also loved the cupcakes we brought for Suzi! Then we went to Uncle Trent and Aunty Stacy's house. Where Maile ended up in ANOTHER pool! I totally forgot that I had her bathing suit in my car....thanks to Tay tay and makayla for handing it down to her!........so we put her little suit on and in she went! Kahla and Ean were great with her. Pictures will follow. After they were dried off and changed we went to dinner at Memphis Barbecue.....I had the best Pork Chop EVER! it was grilled and was so moist and tender, like eating a steak. Seth had a brisket....that too was delicious! For being a mother we (stacy and I) got FREE strawberry shortcakes! They weren't so hot though! We let Trent and Seth have them.....Happy Father's Day!!! ha ha........So my mothers day ends with me blogging...what a beautiful day!

The pictures above are both old....the one on top was taken while we were in town for the funeral and the bottom was from feb 2008. I need to upload more pictures to my computer...it just takes more energy than I have right now. :)
