Mother's Day

My Very First (real) Mother's Day

Last year I felt pretty special to be caring my first born child on this wonderful holiday. This year, however, made it feel so much more real. My perfect son is now almost 7 months old. Wow, time flies. He is beautiful and awesome and I can't imagine my life without him. Everything revolves around him in a good way. This day was more of a celebration of him rather than myself. We went to church as usual and then came home to hang out with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who are of course, mothers. After that we went to see my mom and her step mom at the Thruston's house. Between me, my mother-in-law and my mom, we exchanged roses cards, nail polish, a shirt and more roses. The joys of being a girl. 

Being a mother reminds me of how grateful I am of my two mothers and how incredibly thoughtful they are. Tami puts every single person first, even if she had just met you. She always babysits for us, gives me advice on how to take care of Gram better, and is the perfect example of what a modern day wonder woman is. My mom is incredibly talented. She can sing, paint, cook, bake, sew, garden, reupholster, decorate and so much more. She has always show me how to develop my gifts I have been given and to always continue learning. I'm so blessed to have these incredible women in my life.

Gavin, Gram and I went on a "staycation" to celebrate Mother's Day the following weekend. It was the first time we had slept alone with our new family. We live with my in-laws so it was nice to just be quietly with each other. We stayed at the Scottsdale Resort. We went swimming, slept a lot, went to dinner there, and went out to breakfast. I love the time I get to just be with my little family.
