Daffodils & Teenagers

Who doesn't love daffodils? 

It's like the sun burst apart and attached itself to little green stems all over the world :)

I couldn't resist putting a little pot of daffodils in my shopping cart today as I shopped for groceries.

Shortly after I got home Ben called and asked if he could bring a couple friends home with him from school. I said that would be fine then my mind immediately asked itself "What are you going to feed these kids?" That's just how my mind works. I like to feed people. 

Our table soon looked like this and I warmed up chicken enchiladas from last nights dinner.

Ben then called and asked if a couple more friends could come....the plate stack kept growing :)

These little guys make me smile every time I look at them.

A soft look

Ben and his friends are downstairs watching a movie. They are all in the musical at the high school that starts tomorrow night.

I'm always nervous the first night of Ben's musicals or plays. After all his hard work I so want him to pull it off. I find myself holding my breath almost as he comes onstage the first night. Crazy, right?

I love that at 16 he still loves his momma and isn't afraid to say so. He came up shortly after they started the movie and said "Mom, I'm going to ask Aaron if we can borrow this movie because you would love it or would you just like to come down and watch it with us?"

Things like that melt my heart and make me want to savor every bit of these next 2 years :)

Celebrating boys who love their mommas and the fact that spring is around the corner (ish) ~ we do live in Utah after all!
