Pocketful of Sunshine

The kids are outside playing so I have a few minutes to let you know how wonderful my Mother's Day was. The kids and Mark gave me breakfast in bed. Then we hung out for a little while and took our time getting ready for the day. (This rarely happens in our house.)Each of the kids gave me a cute hand made card with a little bit of money tucked inside to go shopping later. (They even used their own hard earned money not Mark's.)
My favorite part of the day was when we went for a drive up American Fork Canyon and went hiking on some of the trails. Carson even spotted a butterfly which I quickly took a picture of...I love the outdoors and am looking forward to seeing what American Fork Canyon has to offer with it being so close. (It's only a 10 min. drive.)
Have you heard of Natasha Beddingfield's song "Pocketful of Sunshine?" Well, that's what today was for me...a pocketful of sunshine. Better days, love, laughter, and nothing but butterflies...In Natasha's video she parachutes out of her window, flying away to better days. In her blog she talks about how the parachute represents different things in her life that help her along the way. My parachutes are my husband, my children, my family, my home, writing, photography, hiking, music, reading, and most importantly, my Savior...
I thank my children and especially my husband for giving me a pocketful of sunshine today and for whisking me away up the canyon for a BETTER DAY, A HOLIDAY!!!!
