Mother's Day

Mother's Day was right in the middle of finals - so we decided to celebrate a week later so Dan wouldn't be stressed out studying and be at the school during most of the day.

So on May 20th we had my Mother's Day.

What a perfect day it was! The night before Dan gave me beautiful flowers and that night he woke up with Addison and fed her so I wouldn't have to get up in the night - he also let me sleep in a little (we have 8:30 church so I couldn't sleep in much). Then him, Jax and Addy came in with breakfast in bed and my gifts. Dan got me a beautiful bracelet and some earrings and he wrote a beautiful Poem about mom's. I also got a drawing Jaxon and Addison did.

After we got home from church, Dan let me nap to try and finally catch up on sleep, then he cooked dinner while I relaxeed and played with the kids. It was such a wonderful day! I loved being able to spend time with my adorable kids and wonderful husband and I didn't have to worry about cleaning or cooking because Dan did all of it with a smile on his face! It was great! I feel so blessed to be a mom! It has brought more joy to my life than I thought possible!


This picture was clearly taken BEFORE my nap... I look pretty tired - but the adorable two kids I'm holding are totally worth it!

I also want to write a little bit about my mom. My mother is the most giving, hard working woman I know. She is truly amazing and I miss being able to be around her, but I love being able to call and talk to her, cry to her about my struggles - and have her understand and give me great advice. Becoming a mom has made me appreciate my mom more and more. It's sad that it took that for me to appreciate her the way I do but it's better late than never right?! I love you mom - you are AMAZING and I hope to be as good of a mom to my kids as you were to me!
