We went to Mor Art to make fused glass coasters today.

It was a Mother's Day gift that was being redeemed and it was so much fun being creative and giggly with these gals.  We had the best afternoon.

63 CANDLES WERE ON TOP OF THE CAKE,

we sang Happy Birthday like only the Young/Peterson Clan can, she made a wish and blew.My brother is putting together an animated gif of the candle blowing. It's awesome, so stay tuned.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY TO CELEBRATE

MY MOM GAVE US A FUN GIFT

Pillowcases with Mr. Right and Mrs. Always Right embroidered on them.What makes these pillowcases even more awesome is that she HAND EMBROIDERED the lettering. Isn't she so good?! She loves handwork and is so good at it.

HER WEDDING PRESENT TO HIM

was a Wyler watch.I'm having so much fun going through their treasures. Some of them make me swoon.

IN 1967, HE WAS ONLY 19 AND

stationed on an aircraft carrier that was visiting Japan. At the Navy Exchange in Sasebo, he purchased a complete set of white china with a silver trim for his stateside bride, who had told him she would love china as a wedding gift. He was prepared for the wedding, only to soon find out he had 20 minutes to write his finance a letter to tell her, that because of the war, the wedding date had to be changed. He wasn't going to be able to come home for at least another month.One by one, the dishes broke over the years. It was never the fault of any of their six children. These three serving pieces are the only pieces left of the china wedding gift that the groom gave his bride.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Our mother's are amazing women and we are so lucky that they are best of friends.
They are both so kind, thoughtful, loving, fun, wonderful mothers and awesome grandmothers.

MOM, LOVE YOU!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

to my parents. These lovebirds have been married 43 years.
I love you mom and dad!

WE FOUND

the Provo, Utah house my mother lived in when she was younger.Next time we are in Utah, we are going to find the home of my great grandmother. That will definitely put a little skip in my step.

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO

celebrate my mom's birthday.
My mom is amazing and so talented. She is funny, interesting and interested, smart, loving, kind, a great mother and wonderful grandmother.
My father made her a banana nutella strawberry cream birthday cake. Everyone was raving about it. It looked and smelled so good!
Luckily for Aunt Mary and I, there was a vegan chocolate cake too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

WE LOVE YOU!!

PORTABLE TENTS

were one of the presents my parents made the wee ones for Christmas this year.
Made of PVC pipe and canvas they are easy to set up anywhere, easy to store, fit on their beds and the boys are having a blast with them.

I'm seeing some indoor camping adventures in our future...

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

is one of the things my mother is famous for at Christmas.
I went over last night to make some with her and my sister-in-law.

Before we left we wanted a photo and things got a little giggly.

Little did we know, my father switched the setting to video and caught my mother in action, of course with some prodding from my father.

HANDMADE WITH LOVE

My mother made me a Christmas tree skirt. It's a beautiful white tone on tone, lined with silky fabric and embellished with sparkling sequins.It's gorgeous and makes me smile. Thanks madre!
