Happy Mother's Day and Happy Father's Day!

This is another catch up post, starting with Mother's Day!

I had a lovely day!  First, I had no meetings at church so I got to sleep in a little.  Ryan made me breakfast and then we went to church.  Cannon brought home all sorts of goodies for me from his primary class.  The best part of church was to see Cannon sing on the stand with the other primary children.  Well, he didn't exactly sing.  He was pretty much a big goofball, but I was still proud!  I also got a cupcake from church. 

For Father's Day we all celebrated because I didn't have any morning meetings at church.  So we made Ryan breakfast and then headed off to church.  I spoke in church, but I'm not sure how much of a treat it was for Ryan since he had to sit with Cannon by himself the whole time (but from the look of things he seemed to be pretty even tempered that morning).  Cannon also sang on the stand with the other primary children, but it was kind of a repeat of Mother's Day.  I could only see him from behind, but I could tell from the giggles in the congregation that he was probably making some great faces!  Ryan later confirmed that.  Still, I was proud of my son!  After church I was going to make one of Ryan's favorite dinners (chicken crescent roll ups), but the Spanish branch invited us to their potluck.  We accepted their invitation and later on that evening I made strawberry shortcake for dessert.  Cannon made a really cute book for Ryan.  Earlier that week I had asked Cannon what he though were some of daddy's favorite things (color, food, entertainment, etc).  He ended up making a story out of it and I was so impressed with his creativity!  Cannon came up with all the words himself and drew the pictures.  I transcribed it for him and stapled it together.  Here's what he wrote:

A Story About My Daddy
by Cannon Rees

Once upon a time there was a daddy named Ryan.
His favorite color was orange and his favorite animal was a dog.
He had a dog named Blue. 
Ryan liked to read books, clean, brush his teeth, and go potty.
He went to work at Raymond James and did post audits.
He didn't want to drive the Florida car, he drove the black rental car.
At work he talked with his friends and ate chile.
He came home and ate his favorite dinner: macaroni and cheese and tilapia.
Then he read book and read Book of Mormon and went to bed.

The End

I just love his little story!  It's such an insight into his mind and what he pays attention to. I have to say that much of that story is true and accurate. 

Oh how I love my guys!
