Mother's Day

We had a GREAT Mother's day. Every year we spend Breakfast with the Frantz clan, dinner at home, then off for Dessert with the Asper clan. This year was no exception. Breakfast was YUMMY! Tyson made strawberry cheesecake pancakes (my favorite) there was also eggs Benedict (side note, usually cannot eat eggs, I think they are disgusting, when I was pregnant with Aaron this happened too, during the 2 and 3 trimesters I can't get enough eggs) orange rolls and Marty's famous french toast and sauce. It was a lot of fun and since Cindy and Marty were heading off to pick up Sarah from New Zealand the next day it was a kind of going away party as well.
Church was fun, Aaron stayed in Nursery the whole time!! YEAH! that was a great gift for mother's day. We got home and Tyson made Mandarin Chicken for dinner. He did a fantastic job. Aaron came out with a special delivery. A spool of ribbon he picked out all by himself for my craft stuff. Then he handed me a piece of paper that said I had received a gift certificate to Motherhood. That is always nice.
Goodies with my family was fun, and there were some yummy treats. I think I way over ate because I got sick later on in the night. But it was worth every bite!
And to end the night, Survivor finale was on. It was good.
Anywho... happy late mother's day.

Exciting news

First I thought all of you would want to know that we had our ultrasound yesterday and the good news is that our baby is healthy and active! Second bit of good news, it's a GIRL!! We are really excited, and nervous, to have another baby.

Well, a couple weeks ago was my birthday and I really wanted to tell all of you what happened. Tyson is so awesome. Ty had the flu the week of my birthday but he had the day planned before he got sick, always prepared. The day started with Aaron bringing me a CD that had a note that said play me.The CD said that throughout the day people would be stopping by for brief visits. First visitor was the flower delivery person, 26 roses! Then my parents brought lunch, and a really good friend of mine happened to stop by too with cupcakes! Then the UPS man brought my first gift, a slushy/smoothie/ice cream maker. Then a courier brought an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Then the mail lady brought me a movie. What a day! Tyson told me that one present was not delivered so I got that one the next day! How awesome is that? Tyson is very thoughtful on special days!!!
