Mother's Day and Such

I had the best Mother's Day a mom could ask for! Creed made breakfast, and got Sarah ready for church, which meant that I had time to put on some make-up. (We have nine o'clock church and sometimes we don't get up as early as we should.) He also got me some very pretty flowers. Then at church he took Sarah during the third hour, so that I could actually listen and learn during Relief Society. After church we put Sarah down for a much needed nap, had some lunch and then we took our naps. At around 4 we headed up to Murray to spend some time with Creed's mom and family, as well as to attend a Larsen Mother's Day Potluck at Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's. When we got to Murray everyone gave Elizabeth her Mother's Day gifts and then we all started getting ready to walk over to the Potluck when Shirl, Creed and Ben brought in my Mother's Day gift, a KIDAZOOZ!! Boy, was I surprised, I thought getting my curtains on Saturday and having them hung was my Mother's Day present. Now, for those of you who don't know what this it, it is a bike trailer that can convert into a jogging stroller. It is big enough for two toddlers. I was so excited! We have used it now at soccer games, to walk in the rain (it has a rain cover!) and to just stroll around. We haven't bought ourselves bikes yet, but I do see them in the near future. Sarah loves it, almost as much as I do! Thanks Creed, you are the best! And a thanks goes out to Shirl as well!

Now to update you on Ellen's team. They won on Wednesday 4-2 and then again on Saturday 9-0. They play tonight and Thursday as well as Saturday and most likely in the final on Monday. Oh, I think that I forgot to mention that they are playing in the Utah State Cup tournament. If they win 1st place then they get to go to regionals in June. So far it looks like that is a good possibility.

In other news: Creed has a calling! He is the first counselor in the Young Men's presidency. He is really excited and hopes that he can help the Scoutmaster with some backpacking this summer.
