Love, love, love Mother's Day. I think I must be a selfish person, but I love a day that is all about me and what I do. Being a Mother is the hardest, most rewarding thing I have ever done, and I love to celebrate it! Our celebration weekend started with a fun BBQ with friends on Friday night. Then Saturday night we did what every San Franciscan loves to do...drove 30 minutes to the nearest drive through! The Steakhouse burger from Burger King looked SO good, so we ventured down south to try it, and it was disgusting. Very disappointed. I only ate two bites, and I can usually eat about anything, so don't waste your money. Then we headed to the mall and I got to go shopping... all. by. myself. I can't remember the last time I actually tried things on in a dressing room. Heavenly. After two hours of shopping bliss we headed home. Today I slept in while Dave got the kids ready for church, and then after church I napped while he made a very yummy dinner...shish-ka-bobs (sp? how do you spell that word?), rice, pot stickers and egg rolls. Memor, Fafa and Aunt Alli came to help celebrate and we ended the night with yummy berry cobbler and angel food cake with berries. It was a great day and I felt very loved.
Happy Mother's Day to the many women in my life who have made me a better woman and mommy to my sweet kiddos.

You look dead on like your mom! Happy late Mothers Day!
Thanks for saying "hi" on my food blog! Congratulations on baby Dane - what a cutie! So, are you guys wrapping things up there in SF, or do you have one more year left . . . I can't remember!
I have a family blog too, but it's set to private. If you send me your email address, I'll send you an invite!
By the way - if you think your second pregnancy pictures are scary, what hope is there for the rest of us?! :) You look great!
You look great in the second picture...although not so great in the first! :) Don't worry, neither do I. How did you get that on your computer? I loved seeing it. Mom is too cute.
It's still wierd for me to see you with 2 kids. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Dane next month! Love you!
What a cute armful you have in that second picture! You look JUST LIKE YOUR MOM! I can't go over it.
