The Sandoval Family: Mother's Day 2009

This was my second Mother's Day!!!!! It is my last Mother's Day with only one baby! It is amazing that I will be having another precious baby in just 6 months! Anyways.....My weekend was wonderful! Alex surprised me on Friday by taking me to buy some new maternity clothes. I guess he had been tired of hearing me complain that all of my sister's EXTRA SMALL (you make me sick Karrie) maternity clothes do not fit. I was feeling rather yucky on Friday, so our trip to Chattanooga was cut short. However, I still had a great time and was very grateful for my new clothes. So that was part one of my Mother's Day present. On Saturday, Alex took Klara grocery shopping with him and let me stay at home for some alone time. Plus grocery shopping still makes me gag. I can't stand to look at some foods. Maybe this too shall pass. Then later in the day we were going to go back to Walmart and buy my yearly flowers for my flower boxes. It looked stormy outside, so I suggested to Alex that we go before it rained. We got in the car and the moment we pulled up in the Walmart parking lot it started pouring cats and dogs! We got wet getting into the store and then we could not look at the flowers because of the rain. I finally got out my umbrella and ventured into the flower section. I picked out my usual wave petunias. I buy them every year. I hope they live this year! I was not very succesful with them last year! We ended Saturday by having a fun dinner with our friends Jenn, Scott, and Grace. On Sunday we had a full day with the family. After church my dad wanted to go to Cracker Barrell, but since the thought of that makes me gag for some reason, we ended up going to Applebees. We then spent time at my parents house watching Klara play in the front yard. We also got to enjoy the baby birds that were in a nest in the corner of my parents' porch. Their mother was not too happy we were there and she chirped our heads off most of the time. I guess the baby birds were tired of us also so they all decided to take flight! They almost hit us in the heads and they pooped all over the front porch! I think we all screamed, but none of us were hit by the poop! What a weekend! I am a blessed mommy!
