Props to MOM!

Golden Gate bridge!

Isn't my mom so pretty! Here she is with Creed outside the Aquarium!
The boys in their 3-D glasses, they loved the whole experience!
Nice face Mack! He is so funny lately with the faces he pulls during photos. What a ham!

Our not so warm picnic on the beach.

I am sitting here in a perfectly clean house very content children (albeit on a little bit of a sugar high). Laundry caught up, closets organized, a painted dresser and chair, a mowed lawn, and maternity clothes out of deep deep deep storage (they weren't supposed to be used for another year or so). All dental appointments and Doctor appointments checked off the list, and I even got a fun and much needed girls night out last Friday. Before you say, "wow why is Heather bragging about her amazing super mom skills" let me just clarify that this is all done because Mom was in town!!
Because of her church mission which she returned home from in June and then having shoulder surgery in the fall and then falling and breaking that arm on Christmas day, my mom has not been to my house since we first moved in over 2 years ago. I have forgotten how wonderful Moms are in getting in and helping and doing things without being asked "just because they saw that it needed to be done". She is always so selfless and giving and I am constantly looking to her as my example. I love my Mom and all the wonderful things she does for me and my family. I don't know how I would be able to do all that I have going on right now with our house sale, move, being pregnant, and oh yea the minor detail of being without a husband, if she hadn't been here to help me for two weeks. (thanks Dad for sharing!)
And just so you don't think that I was a total slave driver we did go to San Francisco one day, shopping some other days, the beach (although it wasn't very warm), and yesterday as a final kick off we went to the Aquarium. After that we ate at Bubba Gumps the coconut shrimp are amazing, and took the kids to see "Sea Monsters in 3-D" at the new IMAX theater. I don't know which was more fun, watching the kids dodge all the objects coming their way or watching Grandma. It was a wonderful day. We were sure sad to see her go this morning. Thanks again MOM YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Now hopefully we only have 3-4 weeks more of Cam being gone and we won't close on this house before he is done and have to move without him.
