Happy Mother's Day '09

My 2nd ever Mother's Day was a lovely day! Caiden started things off my giving me his gift - he slept in until 8am! Wheeee!!!! B also treated me to a lovely breakfast in bed. This year, I got my gift early. Last weekend we were in Seattle and stopped in for a visit to Mrs. Cooks (that store is like crack for me!). I walked out with a new pan to add to my Le Creuset collection - a 9 inch iron handled skillet in blue.

We spent a lot of the day working on getting the house pulled together. (More on that to come in a future entry.) Here is a picture of the excellent job B did on our back patio. I can't wait for some nice weather to get out there and enjoy it!
After a busy day of straigtening, cleaning and organizing, we went down to REI to get an addition for the Subie. We are now the proud owners of a Sky Box. You know those storage boxes you see on the tops of SUVs and the like? Yep - we've got one of those now. Sadly, it's sitting in the garage all by itself for the time being as it won't fit in the garage while mounted on top of the car. Stupid garage. Anywho, from REI we went over to Desert Fire for a nice Mother's Day dinner.

Caiden proudly wore his I Heart Mom shirt in my honor, and his best gift of the whole weekend? Figuring out how to give kisses when asked! So cute!!

The patio looks great! I am inspired to get some flowers planted this weekend - rain or shine!

Love the picture of Caiden giving you a kiss. He still looks strange without his curls!!!
