What an Awesome weekend we had spent with family & friends for Mother's Day......Saturday morning started off with a 7am temple session along with our Kona 2nd Ward Relief Society sisters in celebration of Mother's day.....After an inspiring morning, we headed to our Stake Center where the men & young men prepared a delicious breakfast for the women which consisted of pancakes, sausage, eggs & rice. Entertainment & decorations went hand in hand with an overwhelming supply of hugs & kisses from not only our children, but other ward members as well...... MAHALO!
The other half of the day was a special treat made up of pedicures, foot massages, 5-minute body massages and sewing handmade bags.... After all was said & done, Tony & I treated our kids to the movies to watch WOLVERINE... I must say, it was very good. Since our tummy's were full of popcorn, skittles, & goobers, we decided to head home to rest for the evening....however........my sister called & invited us over to her house for a BBQ dinner to spend with our Aunty Queeney visiting us from Oahu. We enjoyed an evening of laughs & stories...... It was a good night!
Sunday began with my kids giving me hugs n kisses, a card & lei's, Fou baked some chocolate chip cookies too.....At church the mother's were greeted with single long stem roses along with tons of hugs n kisses from everyone there. My husband spoke in Sacrament on the true meaning behind "Mother's Day".....he did such a great job and I was proud his time he spent on his preparation (1 week). We stopped at the Farmers market on our way home so I can prepare my fruit salad & tossed green salad to my sisters house for Mother's Day dinner. We played "How well do you know your MOM?" and our kids did Great! we ended with prayer and made our way home.......
I am sooo appreciative for the opportunity that I've had to know my MOM. She has taught me everything I know today. Her guidance & counsel shared together with Love, concern and genuine support in all I did throughout my life is what I'll treasure the most. She accepted my faults & still Loved me unconditionally. The talents, skills and dedication she had as a mother will remain with me for the rest of my life. She was full of zest for life, and always strived to do her BEST in all she set out to accomplish. Being goal driven was one of her best assetts not to mention her tenacity, her smile, her laugh and her unbelievable cooking skills that she inherited from her mother........our grandmother. Although she is no longer here with us, I continue to talk about her to my own children in hopes that they will have the chance to meet her in person someday. I Love you Mom, Thank you for giving me the most precious gift of all............YOU!
