If your mom could go anywhere, where would she go?
-Ben--Paris (he knows that Rusty and I want to go to Europe)
What is your favorite Meal that your mom makes for you?
Ben--Chicken Enchiladas
If you could give your mom anything, what would you give her?
Sam-- A new car, her old one is broken (he's sick of climbing over Meg since one of our van doors is broken)
Ben--The Primary song time calling (obviously he sees me covet this calling when I'm asked to substitute--it's not that I can sing, it's just fun to interact with all the kids and be crazy).
What is your Mom's favorite TV show?
Meg--Gilmore Girls
Sam--American Idol
What is your Mom's favorite song?
All my kids--Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.
Sam--Go shopping at Michael's for new toys (those darn "toob" of animals--he's obsessed).
What does your mom do after you've gone to bed?
Meg--Watch TV and does Cub Scouts.
What is something your mom is really good at?
Meg and Ben--Running (I run at a 9 minute mile pace, but once I ran a 7:15 with Ben so she thinks I'm "super" fast).
Sam--Sewing (he just saw me fix Meg's costume for her dance recital and he said "Mom, you can sew really fast--I have these kids fooled).
One of my favorite dinners--Alice Springs Chicken (a la "Outback Steak House:" grilled chicken with bacon, bar-b-Que sauce and cheese on top--YUMMMMY), baked potatoes, orange rolls, salad, and watermelon.
Dinner is over and the kids are VERY excited to give mom her presents.
Molly giving me her present. She was was super excited as you can see.
Sam wanted present time the second I woke up. He couldn't wait to give me the pictures he made me at school and home.
Ben taking a picture of me with my old camera with my new camera.
Yes, here I am enjoying the best cake in the world. Chocolate Death Cake (it includes three types of chocolate and oatmeal--what more do you need in life?)
Rusty and Sam about to dive in.

What a fun Mother's Day. Hey, I also wanted to tell you that Matt had Meg in sunday school today (he was sub-ing) and he said she was amazing! He could not say enough about what a good kid she is and how great she was at reading. So I just wanted to let you know you are doing a fantastic job!!
Your post made me hungry for Outback and chocolate. I have forever been impressed by your mothering after watching your children. I can only hope that one of mine will ever bear their testimony the way Ben does. . .too sweet! I definitely missed the Crestwood Mother's Day programs, thanks for sharing. That should be required in every ward.
Who is "the doctor chef?"
you had a great mother's day! I'll expect a lot of pictures on the blog now that you have a new camera!
Um, I think your kids have to most comments in the Mother's Day program and now that you you have them all here if front of me...I am sure of it! Who do you know or do your kids just say such silly things that they have to be put in? I think I will coach my children on their answers for next year. That's a good thing to do, right? Just kidding. I love what they said and I am sure you will get the singing time calling soon!
The doctor chef--I would love to give you the recipe of the "Chocolate Death Cake."
I think I am needing some Chocolate Death Cake since I'm sans a husband for a while. Recipe please????
