Brittany asked for a really sweet thing for her birthday this year.....she wanted to spend a day with me. She called it our "Mommy & Me Day!" We made plans, with Brittany planning everything, and spent a whole afternoon together. It was so fun. We started out at Costco so we could walk around and eat the samples. That is one of Brittany's favorite things to do. She's very easy to entertain so we walked around the entire store and she was definitely in a happy place when we were finished. After Costco, it was off to the mall. She wanted me to try on swimming suits because I need a new one so we did that for a while, not as fun as it used to be, but she was so patient and she was my runner. We found one that we both liked and they didn't have my size so it was a bust, but so nice to just take some time and not have to rush anywhere or take anyone potty. :) That's usually our mall experience. We then went school shopping for her because she had some money she had saved up and I chipped in and we got some really cute things for her.
We hung out at the mall until it closed and then hit The Cheesecake Factory. She bought me dinner, which was so sweet and I didn't expect that but she insisted. We got to sit right by the water and we just talked......such a nice evening and it was nice to catch up and find out what's going on in that pretty little head of her's. She wanted to go to the movie and the last Harry Potter showing was at 10:30 so we went. I was pretty tired but we got a Coke and headed in. I think we got home at 1:45 am but it was definitely time well spent. I love that she wanted that day with me and what a sweet, special daughter I have. She has always been very thoughtful and sweet to those around her and I'm so glad that includes her mom. It was such a fun day and I hope this is now a tradition. Bailey has asked for her "Mommy & Me Day" for her birthday and we haven't made it out yet, but she's next. I'm so grateful to have such sweet kids and that Heavenly Father trusted me enough to be their mom. I sometimes don't feel worthy of them but I'm so glad they're mine. They make me want to be a better mother and a better person. I don't know what I'd do without them and I'm quite fond of their dad too. What a fun, special day to remind me of all of my blessings! Thanks, Brittany! I'm so proud of you and I love you very much! I enjoyed every minute of my day with you and can't wait for next year!

How fun! You have such sweet kids Jenie! Love the costco idea! Brilliant!!
What a fun time...that will be a sweet memory for years to come.
I love that! Last year I took Ayden out on a Saturday just her and I and it was so much fun. It is really nice to have one on one time with each kid. I am so glad you had such a great time. She is a really sweet girl. You are a very lucky mom.
I think that last picture is Zoolander's Blue ice or steel which one is it? Oh well I see a comeback for sure;) It sounds like the same old Brit that I love! I am glad you guys had such a good time. What a great way to spend her birthday! She is such a great girl, I wonder where she gets that from? hmmmm.... I hope you had some Godiva cheesecake for me;) xoxoxox
Hey Bailey! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. It was great to hear from you. I miss activity days with you all also. I work in the primary in my new ward, but it's not quite as fun. You girls are all so awesome. Tell everyone that I said hello!
That science camp you went to up in Idyllwild sounds really cool. Tell your mom to post more about it. I'd love to hear more.
Does it tell you that I am pregnant bc my eyes are watering as I read this. Seriously, could Brittany be any sweeter. What a fun day. I want one of those with my Mom.
