Our festivities started on Saturday when a home improvement store in town lets you bring your children in and they get to plant a flower pot for their mom for free. (Yeah free!!!) The kids loved picking out the flowers and planting them and I loved the finished product that is now sitting on my front porch.
On Sunday I was showered with hugs and kisses, more flowers and homemade gifts and cards. I was also pleasantly surprised by Mackenzie giving a talk about me in Sacrament meeting that I had no idea about. (I can't believe that she was able to keep the secret.) She did an amazing job all by herself and of course she made me cry - big surprise.

P.S. Happy belated Mother's Day to all of you! I hope you had a great day too!

I can't believe what nice plantings the kids were able to do for free. It looks like you had a great Mother's day. I'm impressed that Kenz was brave enough to speak in sacrament meeting and tricky enough to keep it a secret!
I'm glad you had such a neat mother's day. Way to go Kenzie. Believe me Rachel it won't be the last time you cry when your kids do something. Just get prepared!! I remember crying the first time your husband passed the sacrament and the day eh walked through those doors to go on his mission.
Rachel,
I'm glad you had a great day and got what you rightly deserved. You are a wonderful mother. Great Kenz we are proud of you.
Grandpa
I love the plantings. How fun.
