MOTHER'S DAY!


So today is Mother's day and it's been a great day! I got to sleep in and read more of The Host, it's good:) I learned that sign I just made is a sideways smiley face (thanks AmyB.) David and the kids made me breakfast, at one point I felt guilty reading my book while I could here 2 or maybe all 3 of the boys crying and something crash loudly to the floor. I thought maybe I should go down and help....Nah, it's good for him. Taylor brought me some flowers from our yard that I spent most of yesterday planting and am today suffering from what feels like a 3rd degree burn. Then Dave completely surprised me with a Kitchen Aid! and now I am on my way to becoming a domestic goddess.

Happy Mother's Day! Congratulations on your mother's day gift!! I'm so jealous! I was secretly holding out for one of these! :( maybe next year! (that was a sad face BTW)

Sounds like a great day! Let me know how The Host is after you are done.

Katy said...

Yeah! You are going to love that machine! So happy for you...and glad you got some well-deserved rest on mommy's day.

Rochelle said...

Green with envy, green I say! And I am even greener that you can fit behind the box. Happy Mothers day!

David did a good job!!! He deserves a pat on the back! It was fun to see you guys yesterday! Guess what, I went into my blog this morning & did a couple of things & all of the sudden I got all of my stuff back! It's a Mothers Day miracle! I was so happy!

Jamie said...

Happy Mothers Day.. yesturday! :D

Looks like Dave treated you nicely... you'll love the Kitchen Aid mixer. I bought one a couple years ago-- and have only used it maybe a dozen times... Don't tell Justin... I just bought it cause I like how they look. heheh.

Denise said...

Yay for you! That's great. I just finished The Host, it was really good. When you are finished let me know if you think there will be a sequel. It doesn't say so on Stephenie's website but...anyway just write me back when you are done. Natelli I think we are twins lost at birth, except you are dead sexy and I'm rocking the chubby, white, curly haired look. But honestly, I also have done the drive through pay and then drive off without the food! This is scary.

Denise said...

When I re-read my comment I noticed I had put chubby, WHITE... as if you were not white as well, what I meant was PASTY white. I was not inferring that you are not white, not that there is anything wrong with not being white...I'll shut up now.

Ashley said...

Yeah for the Kitchen Aide. They are awesome! It looks like you had a great Mother's Day. I'm excited to read The Host!

Teri said...

Yahhh hooooo Dave! Way to go dude! I'll bring over the bread recipe, you'll love it! The Host is getting better. I think I'll go read now.

Amy Jones said...

Hey Nat! Come visit teach anytime...I'm excited to have more reasons to pester you. :)
FYI...I posted the "with a grain of salt" explanation on my blog for future reference. Hee hee.

Love the breakfast from the boys. It reminds me of trying to make my mom breakfast in bed for Mother's Day but then tripping over my dad's shoes and spilling it everywhere!

Jason and Kristin said...

Not only do I love your new Kitchen Aide, I loved your picture of you loving your Kitchen Aide.

Rochelle said...

The more I read the goose girl the more I like it. Star girl is still my fav!
Get rid of word verification I beg of you! ;)

Amy B. said...

Wow Nat! I don't know if I've seen you happier than in that picture with your new kitchen aid.
Nice going little bro.- looks like you know what you're doin' after all. :)

Amy B. said...

"She was running like it was nobody's business" is tricky. I mean, what would it look like if she were running like everybody's business?
I don't know, unless...maybe "It Was Nobody's Business" is actually the name of a famous race horse, in which case, it would make perfect sense -she's super fast. :)

Jami said...

hi Natelli, how fun that you got a kitchen aid mixer! You are going to love it! I've got one and can't live without it. It looks like you had a great day.

Rachel said...

Happy mother's day........a few days ago. Tell David good job on the surprise, things like that don't happen too often for us women folk (the BIG surprise anyway--maybe that is just me, I don't know :) )

Karlee Christiansen said...

I love the pic with your kitchen aid. It makes me want one. But I would never use it. My sister was trying to explain to me why this guy wasn't my type and finally she said "Karlee, he wants someone who can cook." Ouch. For the record, I can cook, I just choose not too.

Rochelle said...

You are going to be soo popular now!

Rochelle said...

Oh I have to do it again just because I can and it's so easy!

Rochelle said...

It took me all morning to figure out what you were acting and why you were acting with math. It just now clicked... A.C.T. Obvioulsy I scored poorly also.

Jamie said...

So.. Justin just went to your sisters house to fix her dishwasher and range... she chose the right company. haha :D

Anonymous said...

Nat, you have to make our meatballs with your kitchen aid it makes it so much easier!

Autumn said...

I am SO sorry that my very SLOW friend Rochelle is stalking your blog! Hahaha! I'm dying laughing that she was wondering what you were acting!!! :)~sideways smiley~

Teri said...

Nat - you make me feel so good! You are such a sweetie (I almost typed weetie, you are a weetie too.) I love ya babe!
Your hair looks super duper cute in the mothers day picture, it always does though.

Amy F. said...

That's so funny -so what was the loud crash and bang you heard? JK. Yeehah you got a kitchenaid (I love mine, except they make it a little too easy to make cookies...if you catch my drift ;)!

carlyl said...

Yeah, what a great Mother's Day gift. Gotta love Kitchen Aids!
