Mommy's Weekend

I felt like the entire last weekend was one big wonderful mother's day!  To start things off, Derek's parents watched Jack on Friday morning so that I could get my hair done (yes, I am blonde again, and couldn't wait).  It's always nice to have a little break and get pampered.  Before we drove home, I got to cut some roses off of their beautiful rose bushes, and they looked and smelled beautiful!!!

Saturday we woke up and Derek surprised me with a new breakfast place- the Potato  Shack Cafe.  They are known for their ENORMOUSLY large pancakes and fun mix-ins.  It was delicious!  I shared my apple-cinnamon pancake with Jack, and we still only ate half.  But it made for great leftovers on Sunday :)   After naps and a quick trip to the gym, we ran a few mother's day errands, and then enjoyed the afternoon in La Jolla.  It was pretty overcast, but perfect for walking around.  Jack saw seals for the first time, but he kept calling them 'doggies'.  We ordered in Chinese food and just relaxed with a movie...my choice...."Sydney White" (totally cheesy but fun with Amanda Bynes).  

Of course Jack couldn't resist climbing on these gnarly tree trunks!

   

I woke up to a delicious breakfast, some fun cards, and gift certificates to get lunch and my nails done in Rancho Santa Fe with one of my best friends!  (now I just have to cash that in!).  At church on Sunday Derek mostly watched Jack and I even got to forego primary and attend Relief Society- who knew I'd be so excited to do that!  We then drove to San Clemente and enjoyed a Cafe Rio feast and relaxed in the nice weather. 

Thanks sweethearts for making me feel so special!
