The Day of the Mother – 2023

This week I took over another of The Bigs’ jobs.

While it is still not easy for me, I’ve come a long way.

This weekend was the Pole Pedal Paddle (downhill ski, nordic ski, bike, run, paddle, and run). Dad did it while I went to my soccer game.

He won his age group and therefore received a much coveted PPP mug.

I also hit Big Skis perogies.

And made Mom breakfast on Mother’s Day.

In fact, I spoiled her rotten with many gifts, including some cosmos.

I had a soccer game today and then both Mom and I headed out on rides.

I hit the pump track and the skills park while she did a road ride.

After our bike rides, we did some horseback riding!

On May 14, 2017, so exactly six years ago, I, with Dad as my assistant, planted a plum and cherry tree.

They looked like sticks.

Now look at them!

Happy Mother’s Day!

What a fun filled blog! I’m loving your new hairstyle.congratulations to dad for winning his races. Looks like you and mom had a very full mothers day and you were one thoughtful little boy. I loved the before and after pictures. The trees are gorgeous and the pholx also.

Don’t they have child labor laws in Oregon? Looks like you inspired Dad in his race. Good job. You and the trees are growing/maturing fast.
