Mother's Day 2008

WOW! So Mother's Day has come and gone and I wish the day could have lasted! We had quite the relaxing, fun filled day!
First and foremost, I got a nap! Wahoo! A very needed, much anticipated nap! What's better is that I actually woke up feeling refreshed and ready to party!

The day started with waking up around 7 as our little early bird decided that if she was awake, that the rest of the house should be too. Michael got Jaycee ready and took her grocery shopping so we could eat breakfast before going to Joan's for a barbecue. Although Michael spent quite some time at the grocery store, we decided that we would take the easy route and reheat pizza for breakfast as he got back closer to lunch time. We ate, washed the kids hands and faces and off for a nap they went!
I took a nap on the couch and Michael watched TV. We were waiting for Mitchell to get to our house before going to Joan's. I woke up, got the kids ready to go and off we went!
It was warm outside, but the pool sure as heck wasn't! Actually, it was pretty cold! That didn't stop Darren and his cousins! Darren of course picked the Sponge Bob floaties and was off!
Jaycee was a little more practical, choosing only one blue floaty.
She also chose to the kiddie pool that was set out for the smaller kids where baby Amhan chose to entertain he bunch! What a ham! The kids couldn't get enough of him. Uncle Kirk and Darren decided that they would do some stunts in the water. Normally Darren would be afraid of this kind of things, but he couldn't get enough!
Jaycee had some "accidents" in her swim suit so after 2 mishaps with no swim diaper and her continuously taking off her diaper, we decided that we would let her run around in her birthday suit instead. She took full advantage of that opportunity.
After eating and swimming, the kids decided that it was quad time! Darren and Jaycee patiently waited their turn to ride. Darren played with his cousins while he was waiting and Jaycee decided that although she is scared of Mitchell and his size, that she would wait on his lap.
Jaycee just sat back and relaxed as Michael took her around a couple times. Unfortunately my camera died right before Darren got on so I wasn't able to get any pictures of how happy he was to get to ride. But if you know Darren, you know the look!
All in all, the day couldn't have been any more perfect! It was one of the most relaxing days I have had in quite some time! Good times!
