A Sunny Mother's Day


It just so happened that Mother's Day was beautiful in this part of the country.  Bright, blue skies and temps in the 80s.  We decided to make the most of it.  Our friends, the Wagners, joined us for dinner.  The ladies all congregated outside at the pool, the little ones jumped right in!


 The girls of course had to wear goggles!


 
And Jodi and I lounged around.  Until Allison stole my chair!
 And the men did some serious work in the kitchen and on the grill!  I had to get a picture of our friend, Nate, working in the kitchen - apparently it is quite rare.  We had an amazing dinner of grilled pizza (Mark's new specialty, he even kneads the dough himself!), grilled shrimp skewers and some sort of 'paper chicken' along with salad.  And chocolate cake.  Sorry, no pictures of the food, Jodi & I were too busy eating and the men too busy cooking!  I'm very thankful for the little girl whom I get to mother and a husband who likes to make his wife feel special!

Such a fun day! Huge kudos to Mark for planning the details and doing most of the cooking...also for getting Nate in the kitchen! Nate can cook a mean pancake but that's about it (in our house when I say "Daddy's cooking" Bekah immediately knows that means he's picking up a pizza). I vote to make this an annual mother's day tradition. :)
