Mothers Day Weekend

 I had the greatest weekend..... I was sure spoiled!

 Pedicures with friends.................

Date night with the family.. Shaved ice and fountains..

Church with the family. 

 

 Grace came home from Primary with the sweetest present for me. It is already hanging in our kitchen.

                                             

I was very spoiled with flowers, presents, delicious meals, and yummy treats!! 

                This handsome guy made sure my day was so special. I even took a NAP!! Love him to pieces. 

                                                 
This is what it is about.... I am so lucky to have these little sweethearts on loan. I feel blessed more and more each day to be their mom when I see them grow and learn. When I became a mother I learned of a new kind of LOVE...

I learned all I know from this beautiful lady in the middle. My mom. She is a ROCK. Most humble and service oriented woman I have ever known. She has taught be to work hard, stand up for what I believe, and treat ALL with kindness and love. I hope I can raise my children up to respect me as much as I respect and LOVE her.
                                       

Mothers day at Preschool

Today in Gracies Preschool they invited all of the mothers to come to class for a special day.

                                             

Grace was so excited to show me her cubby...

                                              

We had yummy treats and lemonade.......

 Grace showed me all of the toys she gets to play with during free time....

 This poster was the BEST present ever!!! I love it! My creative crafty Grace. 

                                   

What a special date I had with my little missy. I am one lucky mamma. 

Sunday

 Spring has been soo nice around here. We have been living outdoors. Today our small family headed for the park after church and naps.

 Today I had one of those moments were I was just sitting there watching my family play and interact together and I fell in love with them all over again.

 I am so lucky to be a mamma and to be loved by the most amazing man.

They are my everything! They have my WHOLE heart ... Feeling blessed and humbled today.

One Year Doctor Visit

Peter had his ONE YEAR check up this week. 

Of course the 10 minutes we waited for the doctor to come in Peter and Grace had fun exploring!! 

 Grace was very supportive while Peter got his shots. She watched the whole time and cheered him on.

 His stats: 35% for weight, 75% for height, and 60% for head. 

He is walking actually RUNNING and has 7 teeth and loves to munch on just about everything. He loves gogurts, strawberries, turkey bacon, and anything else Grace eats. He is always trying to keep up with his older sister. Loves to climb and explore... He is a very curious boy. He loves being in the action and his favorite part of the day is when Grace gets off the school bus and when daddy comes home from work. We love our special boy. I still get emotional thinking about the day he was born. My whole world changed. Love you Peter Kekoa Marquardt

Easter Time

 We had a great month of April. Soo many fun Easter parties and festivities  

                                     
Easter egg hunt at Gracies school...

 The Easter bunny came to our house and left some goodies for the kids........

 Also left eggs for Grace to hunt.

We then went to church and had a nice dinner with family.

What a wonderful month celebrating our Savior and what he has done for us... I am so grateful families  can be together forever.

Peter is Walking

 I forgot to post awhile back that Peter started walking. He is the happiest boy to be able to keep up with his big  sister.
