May 9, 2010 was my very first mothers day! It was was an amazing day spent with my family and a day for me to realize how greatful I am for the life that I have been given, for the wonderful family that I am apart of, and for for my beautiful healthy daughter who made me a mommy back in January :)
The day began early with a yummy breakfast that my husband fixed for us. I just loved his scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon mix! After breakfast, Jeremy broke out the video camera to capture the footage of me opening all my precious gifts that he and Baylen had prepared for me. It was then time to get ready for church.
We attended church with my family. I was so excited, because as long as I can remember the church as always recognized the youngest mother, oldest mother, and the mother with the most children and grandchildren. I was actually the youngest mother and recieved a gift!
Early afternoon we spent time with my husbands family and cooked out at his grandmothers house. There are lots of grandchildren in his family so we had a great time with all the kids :) Later in the evening we had dinner with my family at chilies restaurant.
I am so proud to say that I am a momma. My whole outlook on life as changed in such a good way :) I spend so much time being a mommy that I sometimes wonder what in world I use to do with all of my time??(way to much TV I know for sure!) I definitely feel like every moment of everyday is time well spent now and my free time is much more productive!
The mothers day definitely went by way to fast but it was great! Not only did I enjoy spending the day with Baylen, but I enjoyed spending time with my mother and my grandmothers as well. My mom is a wonderful person and she does alot for me and my husband. She keeps Baylen for us while we both work full-time M-F jobs. I would be so lost without her help...You always hear people say that when you become a mom that things just come natural and you know exactly what to do and how to care for your baby. This seems to be proven true, but I believe that its actually all learned. Learned from your own mother. I know that I have soaked in and learned from my mom from as early as I can remember. I know without a doubt, that I wouldnt be where I am today without the love and teaching from both of my parents.(Yes my dad gets tons of credit too!!) My brother and I were deeply loved while we were growing up. My parents would do whatever they had to do to provide for us so that we could always have nice things (clothes,toys, cars etc) I also know that my parents were always so very proud of us. It made me want to succeed because I know how they always felt when we would do something good :) I have always said I hope I can be at least half the parent to my children that my parents were to me! (Especially my mom since this is for mothers day!!) I love my mom so much and I love my sweet baby girl more than anything in this world. The circle of life is amazing!!
Happy LATE Mothers Day to all of you wonderful mommies!! ...Life is so good :)
