Happy Birthday to the best Mom ever!




My mom got to come and spend her birthday with us this weekend. It was so nice to have her here. I always worry that Nicolas won't want to go to her, but I think absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder. He wouldn't let her out of his site, he even had to sit on her lap to eat and made her carry him everywhere. It was so cute, he called her "my ama". We got to watch Kaden play soccer Saturday morning then we headed out for a day of shopping. Jorge even took us to the outlets for more shopping in the evening. On Sunday we had a relaxing day watching conference, except for Kaden, he just couldn't sit still or be quiet. We celebrated her birthday a day early and had some yummy chocolate cake and gave her a bracelet from her favorite store. It was so hard to say goodbye to her this afternoon, you'd think after 2 years of being away I would get used to it but it just gets harder. I appreciate the time she takes to come and spend with us though and the fun memories we are creating. Happy birthday Mom, we love you and miss you already!
