Mother's Day

Well, it is Mother’s Day again. My second one ever!  I’m excited to hopefully have a relaxing day at home with my boys... ya know, basically what we’ve been doing for the last 60 days!  I guess I’m not sick of it yet!  Anyway, here’s a glimpse of what we have been up to lately:

Clayton got to use his pool... he chose to get in fully clothed.  

We went on a couple of bike rides on paths along the Truckee River. 

We hiked to Castle Rock for a picnic lunch. 

We have had some beautiful weather lately. I am so grateful. And I’m also super grateful for our nice big deck. We’ve spent a lot of time out there during this quarantine. 

CLAYTON GOT A BALANCE BIKE!

We took advantage of a free meal from one of our favorite restaurants, compliments of teacher appreciation week and since they can only do take out orders right now, we enjoyed our dinner at the park. The weather could not have been any better! 

Mike and I have taken turns going for mountain bike rides and although it’s a bummer that we can’t really ride together right now, we are both loving that we have lots of opportunities to ride. 

For Mother’s Day, Mike made a yummy breakfast and we went on a family bike ride to Nevada beach for a picnic lunch. We were asked to leave by the park ranger because technically the beach is still closed due to the lockdown. But, he did allow us to finish our lunch before we left and he did not give us a $5000 fine (not a typo... it’s really that high) so overall it was a great experience! 

Unfortunately, Mike’s grandmother, Nana, passed away this past week. She was 97 years old!  She lived a very full life!  I’m happy she was able to go peacefully and that she’s now reunited with her husband, siblings, and her granddaughter in Heaven. But she will be greatly missed here. 

As for the rest of this Mother’s Day, I’m spending it with my boys so it’s sure to be great! I hope that all mommas are being celebrated today.  It’s true what they say... mommin’ ain’t easy!!!
