Love is a gene
that can always be seen,
which comes from a mother
passed on to another.
It makes you sweet and kind,
and it makes you use your mind.
This gene can be quite fine
if it came from a mother,
mine...

Can you believe how sweet that poem is?? When I read it this morning, I just cried by the sweetness of it and the talent my beautiful daughter has! I am teary now reading it again...
I was blessed this morning by my three and their creativity. I received a lot of homemade goodies. Jonnie made me a jewelry box, a music maker, and an adorable card that said, "my love for you grows and grows" and he made a flower out of tissue paper. He also drew a picture of him and I holding hands-it was adorable. Alaina made me an "8th Generation fortune box" and everyday I am supposed to take a fortune out and read it. Today's said I would be going out to eat and it was right! She also made me some bracelets and the most hysterical gift-it was a tube that you look through and on the other side was a black line. When you look at someone it looks like they have a moustache-I laughed so hard, it was hilarious!! I don't know how they come up with the gifts they do, but they are so awesome! Sawyer bought me a pediegg (have you seen those advertised on tv?) I love it and my heals feel softer tonight (: I also got a reed diffuser with a glass bowl that is beautiful.
After we opened gifts we went out to brunch with the Swanson's at The Oaks and then I went to visit my mom at work and brought her a plant. Then I went home and took a 3 hour nap with Sawyer while Alaina hung out with Grandma K. and Jonnie went to the field with daddy to pick rock. I am sure I will be up late after that long nap, but it was soooo worth it!
I hope all you mothers had a fantastic day! I also hope I can live up to all the love I received from mine~I love you all to the moon and back!

OMG-Alaina, you have talent! That poem is the best and made me cry and want to be your mom. :) What sweet young chitlens you have!
That poem was fantastic, Alaina!
Lorrie, I loved this post. Your kids are so sweet! Some of the gifts you got made me laugh so hard... so creative!
that truly is the best poem! I am sure you cried reading it...so very very sweet.
I got the pediegg for Christmas-the only thing I asked for :) Isn't it great? But be careful with it..I found I have to do just a little at a time..I went a little crazy and my feet were so sore for a few days..not used to not having caluses :)
I LOVE your gifts..the tube sounds hysterical...plus the idea that she saw it and thought "I have to get that for Mom!"
What a sweet, sweet poem, Alaina. I know your mom was so touched by it, as I am, reading it. Sounds like a wonderful Mother's Day. You all made my day with your visit. What treasures to remember.
What a wonderful day you had and what a talented girl Alaina is, I loved the poem. You have wonderful children, but then they have wonderful parents.
Our cable was out so no TV for several days. I sat down last night and watched old videos when my kids were little, I wanted to pluck them from the screen and hug them. What precious days and what wonderful memories. Love, Sandy
I've, obviously, been terrible at keeping up with your blog! I LOVED that poem, and as I was reading it had no idea that it was written by Alaina! What talent!! Tell her to write one for her Auntie. :)
You got some fantastic gifts. What thoughtful, and loving kids you have. :)
