My Mother's Day weekend

So Mother's day weekend was a blast!! I felt so loved and so special that weekend, I just want to say Thanks!! to Delton and the boys for a wonderful celebration. On Saturday, Delton had a picnic all planned out at a local park. We went to Tauphus Park and had some yummy chicken and salads. After lunch we played tag with the boys and enjoyed some play time on the playgrounds. Keegan had a blast keeping away from Mommy and Daddy and Cameron just liked being chased. After our picnic and tag was done we headed over to Lowe's to get some more flowers for our front yard project and we wanted some ice cream so we went to this little old fashioned drive thru called Scotty's and they were having a car show! It was great to see all the old timer cars and how fixed up they were. I found my dream car, a black camaro, and it was for sale! I was so excited I tried to talk to Delton into getting it, but that didn't work out too well. oh well..maybe one day! So we hung out there for awhile, the boys just loved looking at the cars and Keegan thought it was great hpw the old cars look. They had an Model-T there and he kept calling it the mini car. It was cute. After that Delton took me to my new favorite restraunant, Stockmans. yum yum Had steak and salad and cheesecake. They have amazing cheesecake!! Then we headed home with full bellies and memories that will last a lifetime. It was just so nice to hang out with the boys and Delton and the weather actaully cooperated. It was a gorgeous day. On Sunday we decided to head out to Shoshone Falls. They call them the Niagra Falls of the west and Delton had taken me there about 8 years ago in July so basically they were just a trickle of water not really even a waterfall. So I have always wanted to go back when the run off is high, so he took me there. We invited Heather, her family and Bri but Bri wasn't able to come. Heather and the girls came without Ken since he had to work. So we left and headed on our 2 1/2 hour drive to the falls.


Right before the falls there is a HUGE bridge. So of course we had to stop and get some pics of the canyon and the bridge. Cameron was just in awe of it. It was really cute.
If you look at the very right side of the picture you will see a rock in the river, there were actual people down there on the rock, we had NO idea how they got down there.
Delton decided to go for a little treasure hunt with the kids. They went searching for some nice size rocks to through into the river. So of in a single file they marched in search of their perfect rock.
Heather and Kenzie hung back with me and just waited for them to finish their search. Kenzie was just happy to be out of her carseat and Heather was just happy to be out!
Cameron was just happy picking up any rock by the fence and trying to fit them trough and throwing them. Even though the rocks didn't go very far he thought it was great.
So after the bridge, we all got back into the car and headed to the falls. It was just a short drive through the country and we were finally there. The kids played in the dirt with some sticks as we got lunch ready. Keegan borrowed Cora's sunglasses and thought he was pretty cool. Cameron just wanted to be included in their digging.
Delton, of course, was in charge of fixing the hotdogs and warming up the left over chicken and wedges from our picnic the day before. He is still my little chef.
Kenzie was just kicking it with her sisters purse. She was such a good girl and just enjoyed being outside with us.
A shot of the falls from where we ate lunch. They had a HUGE park for people to have picnics on and it had a great view of the falls. As you can see they were just roaring!
We brought Gabby and Heather brought Mozart and they had just as much fun as us. I had to get a pic of my boys!
And of course Delton had to return the favor. I hate having my picture taken!

Do you see the rainbow? Keegan wanted this picture.
Giving Daddy some love.
Heather and the girls! Don't they look so happy? :)
Me and my beautiful family. I just LOVE them to pieces!!
A close up of the falls. I tried to capture the falls, but you just have to go to apperciate how much water there is.


We walked around for a little bit but since we kind of got a late start, we weren't able to go hike to another outlook. With it being a school night we needed to head out. It was just a GREAT weekend. I really love being a mommy. The boys are the reason why I am able to celebrate this special day and they make it worth the while. They are so special in their own little ways. Keegan with his quiet demeanor but his has a stubborn streak and Cameron with his outgoing personality and his constant loves. He marches to his own drum, even though sometimes Mommy doesn't like him to. Delton had given me such a precious gift with this boys. He works his butt off so I can be a full time Mommy and he sacrfices soo much. He worked his schedule so this weekend was all about me and he did an amazing job. He is just so thoughtful and he does try his best. I love him with all my heart and he is my better half! Thank you for this weekend Delton. It was more than I deserve but I apperciated it soo much.
