--Trav got up with the kids, made crepes for breakfast and set up a little computer/picture clue system to lead me all over the house and computer to find the camera he got for Mother's Day. We have been thinking we need a new one anyway, but with him leaving soon, we realized that it might be nice for him to have one as well as us. Our old one did 30 second videos with no sound. The new one cost half as much as the old one and it's at least twice as nice. Yet it's still nice and simple and small, which is what we need. So these pictures are just playing around with the new one. I keep wanting to take video. I am so excited to have the sound! And 35 minutes of video. Technology is crazy amazing!
--Trav took Micah to priesthood during church and our bishopric supposedly had some special thing for all of the women in the young women room for the 3rd hour. So I went there wondering what cool flower they might have for us, and there was a full up feast set up for all the moms and they served us and talked about how wonderful we were =). It actually felt a little strange to be eating a nice lunch and visiting while we expect a RS lesson, but it was very thoughtful and nice of them.
--During sacrament meeting the primary went up to sing a couple of songs to the mothers. All of my kids except for Micah are in Primary now! Aaaah. Kaden very sweetly took Ammon by the hand and led him up there, and then during the entire 2-3 songs he stretched his neck up and grinned with the best smile and deep dimples and sang right to me. He was so happy and proud. I love those moments.
--We had friends over for dinner, and we love spending time with friends.
--Our friends brought a big ice cream cake for dessert, and it is perhaps the yummiest thing I have ever tasted. Please tell me it's also healthy?
--Trav put the kids to bed. He does that most nights and it's wonderful. But I heard Kaden come out and ask if I could come and give them a hug, and as I went up there, I got the best hugs and kids telling me they loved me and saying "Happy Mother's Day, Mom". (Then Kaden looked up at the top bunk and lovingly said to Noah "and Happy School Day tomorrow, Noah!").
I probably have this kind of picture posted every other entry or so. I just love his smile so much. What a ham.
Another Ham.
So handsome.... We borrowed a DVD from a friend that is the conversion story of Glenn Beck. It was awesome. I love to here people's stories and how they are lead to the church, especially dramatic ones like his. The reason I mention this I guess is because we watched it yesterday and that's what Travis is doing here.
My boys minus Noah, after he was gone to school this morning.
Trav and I tried out the self portrait mode. I sure like this guy a lot. Heavenly Father really blessed me to lead us to find each other. He is so talented and so good to me, and such a good example.

Is he deploying soon? We do not want to impose on family time if he is leaving!
And Travis is VERY lucky to have you, too, Angela! Has he gone, yet? Hang in there! I know you've had lots of practice with him leaving, lately, with TDYs and such. But that still doesn't make it easy.
i'm so glad you had such a happy mothers day. looking at your kids makes me want to cry, because i'm missing their whole growing up days. they are too cute. how fun to have a new camera! what kind is it? i hate ours. love you!
Wow! What an awesome Mother's Day! I love to see the pics of your family! Ammon's ear certainly looks uncomfortable! Poor Kid! I'm so happy that you are all doing well! You guys are such an example to me! One of these days we ought to catch via a thing called the phone! LOL! Until then I hope all keeps going well! Take Care!
