Mothers Day Weekend.

Our mothers day consists of a lot of time and hard work here at the Thames house. It all starts on Friday, we are lucky to have the Mothers day Race the Darlington 500 (Nascar) so close to home. We Wake up early on Friday and head over to Grandma and Grandpa Maddies house. We get all sun blocked up and ready for the day. This is the babies before the Friday race. Their first race, and many more to come. We park cars for both Friday and Saturday races. Kits parents live right next to the track so it is good parking. We have a lot of the same people that come every year. Kit and Carsen setting up chairs so we can be ready to wave our flags.
The boys did good for the most part they had a few naps and other than that they loved watching everything going on.
Here is Grandpa the master mind of it all. He has the parking down to a science.
This is us just getting started.
We only had the kids for the Friday race. On Saturday we has some babysitters so we didn't have to worry about them so much.


Then the time comes where we are done parking cars and we are ready to hit the bed. I never knew that waving a flag can get you so tired. But I guess being in the sun for 10 hours for 2 days in a row would do it to you. For mothers day we went to sacrament at church, Carsen and Kit sang to us. It made me so happy. Then we were off to grandma and grandpas house to pick up all the race trash. It was so funny the kids had such a good time they told everyone, " Mom and Dad are riding on the golf cart, and we are picking up trash." Kit said having kids is finally paying off. It was funny. But all in all I had such a good mother day weekend hanging out with my cute family. I couldn't ask for anything more.
