Mothers Day 2009

Our, semi-new, Mothers Day tradition is to have brunch at the Hills house. It's so much fun to get together with everyone in the Hills beautiful back yard. This year we were so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Lori come up for the day. They almost didn't make it but I'm so glad that they did. We love you guys so much!

To my beautiful Mother who has shown me love, patience and strength. You inspire me to be a better Mother and as my children grow (and frustrate me) I think back to all that you went through raising 4 girls, and for the latter part 4 girls on your own. You were always there for us... as our GS leader, BB coach, PTA member, driver back and forth to auditions...etc. You always listened when I came home and talked your ear off about something I happened to be excited about at the moment. Mom, you are an amazing woman. I respect and admire you for all your strength. For the continual love that you have for me and my children. You have been and continue to be one of my best friends. I love you!!!!






Sisters... each one of you inspire me as a Mother and as a person. You are all SO beautiful and amazing Mothers. I love you for your continual support and your friendship.


Grandma... the love in this family comes from you. You have more love in your heart than anyone I have ever know. You are truly beautiful inside and out. A Mother of 3, a Grandmother of 13 and a great Grandmother of ... ? lots... and you somehow have shown each one of us equal love. I love you 1000 bushels!
Lori... I just wanted to tell you that you are and have always been a great Mother. I believe that whatever your children think of you at the moment is not really how they feel about you as there Mother. Having your parents separate is an incredibly hard thing to go through and maybe there feeling toward you are getting mixed into there emotions about the separation. Hang in there and KNOW that you are such a beautiful woman and a loving Mother and Granna. I love you!

Sleep over with Savannah

Savannah spent the night with Helena last night. They are so good together now. Hardly argue at all. They were so funny because they wanted to take care of Viggo the whole time... at some points a had to say "okay, just let Viggo walk around by himself". It was cute though, and I think he enjoyed most of the attention. This morning Helena decided to go back to bed (too much partying) and Savannah played with Viggo. They watched cartoons together, she pushed him on his car and she fed him cheerios. After Helena woke up they both played "Mom" with him. They put him in his swing with his teddy, fed him again, got him dressed after I gave him a shower and fed him again. Good little Moms but sometimes it's too much. I'd have to keep telling them to let him be. Later in the day the decided to make a fort in the living room. Big mess, but I remember how much fun we used to have as kids making forts... so it's worth the mess. They had a couple of arguements during the making of this fort but all in all they had a great time together.

Turkey Trot 2008







Today was Savannah & Tristan's very first race. Christian has raced the Turkey Trott several times before, so he was a pro! Savannah placed 2nd in her division, Christian placed 4th in his division, and Tristan placed 4th in his division also! Savannah started off awesome and towards the end she started to get a little tired, but she still won a chicken!(First place was a turkey) Nana, G'ma Diana, and Taylor were all there to cheer the kids on! Fun, fun, fun!!
