Mother's Day and Melting Pot

For Mother's Day this year, Adam took me to the Ram on the waterfront for dinner on Saturday night. He even found the babysitter for us! It was a super yummy dinner with a fantastic view of the Sound. Just remind me next year to not go out to dinner on Prom night! It was really busy! On Sunday, I got to sleep in and at church the kids sang with Primary. I saw Olivia, but Jack was hiding from me. I heard from another mom that he was making silly faces the whole time (she described them as Gene Simmons' KISS faces. Awesome. My son is a rock star.) and they made some cute things for me in class. Then we went to my parents house for dinner. My dad made Polynesian short ribs which Celeste and I requested because they are insanely delicious. We also had croissant bread pudding with lemon blueberry coulee on top. We were definitely spoiled!
This is my only picture from Mother's Day. A typical picture with three kids. Jack thinks when we pull out the camera that it's time to try out his ninja or boxing moves.

We also went to the Melting Pot while my brother and his wife were in town. We celebrated Bryan's and Ana Lee's birthdays too. The food was delicious, as always, and we all left way too full!

Our yummy dinner... raw. Oh well, it was delicous after it was cooked! Steak, potstickers, shrimp, ahi tuna (not watermelon), chili rubbed chicken and pork tenderloin.
The best part of it all! We love the Yin and Yang chocolate. The best of both worlds! Although Bryan and Celeste got the traditional, which is a chocolate and peanut butter and it was super yummy too! My mom got the passion fruit swirl, which looks just like the Yin and Yang, but the white chocolate part is pink and it was surprisingly good!
Aren't you all hungry now! Ha! I wish they served the chocolate fondue first because by the time they bring it out at the end, I am so full that I can't even enjoy all the rice krispie treats and brownies to dip in my chocolate! I'll have to go for just the chocolate sometime.

Yummy! I'm jealous! That is so funny about Jack pulling the faces during the song. Too bad you couldn't get a picture of that! When are you guys coming to see us?

What a great Mother's Day! And, how nice that Adam arranged for the sitter. I love when Brent does that! Miss you!

Your post was basically about yummy food, and now I'm hungry. Thanks. A lot.

The Ram? What a great choice, Adam. And I'd sure like the recipe for those short ribs. And the bread pudding. Glad you had a great Mother's Day!
