Mother’s Day 2012

Evren brought me the paper this morning…turns out it was a special edition…

My favorite is: “I really love the way she gets craftsy.”  …and I love that he knows me so well.

Ayla has tortured me for nearly a month and gets the award for *most prepared for Mother’s Day*.  She rode her bike to the store, bought me a present and card with her own money, wrapped it and there it sat on the kitchen counter taunting me this whole time.  I finally got to open it today!  She got me two nail polishes (I’ve already painted my nails today, she picked the perfect color!) and a really funny card.

I am truly a it’s the thought that counts person and they both did a wonderful job of making me feel like they really took the time to think about me.  I am so lucky to have such wonderful kids.

I am also thankful every single day for my mother who made sure that I never doubted for one single second of my life that I am loved.

          

Happy Mother’s Day.

Cello Wars

Evren shared this video with me today because he loves it…and I love anything that gets an 8-year old to appreciate music.  I have to agree with him, it’s pretty awesome.

Bike Rodeo 2012

Evren officially learned how to ride his bike only one week ago and he is already so confident he was super-excited to participate in his first ever bike rodeo! They had a bike and helmet safety check, an obstacle course, two fun bike games, snacks, water and he got a free water bottle for participating. Not only that, but he was so super speedy that he was the first one to finish! (I am so proud.)

Happy Easter 2012

The Easter Bunny not only dropped off super cool Easter baskets but also had the time to hide eggs all over the house for an early morning Easter Egg Hunt.  Gotta love the Easter Bunny for planning ahead to let me sleep in.  Sweet.

Last week Evren had fun at the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  This weekend we went strawberry picking, watched The Help, ate lots of candy, had a nice dinner, and made a cake.  It was stormy today and it was nice to just hang out at home.  Happy Easter!!

Strawberry Season 2012

Bright and early on Good Friday and we were some of the first at the strawberry fields this year.  We brought home 6.5 pounds of bright red strawberries.  Delicious!

Last year we remembered that it was very windy and the sand kept getting in our faces.  It must’ve been hotter because I remember being all sticky and sweaty when we left.  But this year… it was perfect.  The weather was lovely, it wasn’t windy, there were plenty of strawberries… Ayla said, “I didn’t even have anything to complain about this time.

Sculpture Museum, Feb 2012

Ayla was on a camping weekend having tons of fun and Evren and I weren’t happy just sitting at home… so we visited one of our favorite places in the city.  Then he convinced me to go to the Art Museum across the street also.  I had to stop him when he just assumed we were going to the Asian Museum as well… I love museums too, but moderation!
