Mother's Day 2013

I have to say, that this was my most favorite Mother's Day yet!  My first Mother's Day was the best, because it was then that I first got to celebrate this wonderful occasion as a Momma, but this year, I had both of my boys to celebrate with.  And it was a beautiful weekend.  We spent the entire weekend outdoors, enjoying each other and the sunshine.

Friday, I started MY weekend having muffins and juice with Holden at school.  Actually, Holden ate muffins and drank juice while I spent a little extra time with him before I met Chuck for breakfast!  Yum.  It was nice getting to sit and have breakfast with my #1 boy.

Daddy picked Holden up that afternoon and brought home a homemade magnet Mother's Day card from Holden and a picture of flowers in a basket that Holden colored.

Saturday, me and the boys went for a nice long walk, followed by a little play time at the park.  Then later that day, Grammy, Uncle Bo and Lindsey came over for a BBQ.  Chuck grilled beer-can chicken, baked beans and homemade potato salad.  We hung outside all afternoon, watched Holden play baseball, basketball and golf while Mommy soaked up some sun.  I even got a little sunburn on my shoulders.

Mom brought me a lily from her garden, same colors as my wedding flowers!

Sunday, after church we headed North and spent the day at Pop and Nonna's house.  Holden loved it, even though Pop forgot to put the Jeep batteries on the charger, Holden didn't know the difference.  He just sat in it, played the radio and pretended to drive.  Of course, he could have been the 20 rides on the Gator that he went on that helped pass the time.  It was nice to visit with my parents, Uncle David and Aunt Jackie, Byron, Grandma and Norman too.

We were all so tired, that when we got home, we all took a quick shower and were in bed early, even Hayes.  Holden was so worn out after all the playing and short naps that he slept until 10:00 Monday morning!  Even Hayes and Mommy slept until 9:00, of course this was after Hayes' 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM feedings, but hey, I can't complain!

Thank you all for a wonderful mother's day!
