My Mother's Day

This was a really nice day for me. I had a lot of fun spending quality time with my family. Mandy and Nathan were able to come over and have dinner with us. Then we went to Grandma's house and spent some time with all our family there.

Jaime really tried hard to make this a special day for me. He is so great! I really appreciate all he does. Last year I made such a huge deal about how I was gonna be a future mother of his children and how I was already a mother to his doggies, so I couldn't believe he didn't get me a card or at least wish me a happy mother's day. He he! poor guy, little did we know I was just barely pregnant and my emotions were running wild. Looking back I probably shouldn't have let it bother me so much. I guess I just let my female emotions get the best of me.

So this year while I was at work on Saturday night, he asked my mom to watch Zane so he could go get a card. He told her how he didn't want to repeat last year....smart man ;-) He got me a beautiful card and also a real cute one from Zane, and the girls (Maddy and Grizzy). He left it by my bedside so that when I got home a little after midnight and got to bed the first thing I would see were my cards. Then the next morning he came to church with me and Zane. It was really nice to have the help with Zane, so I could relax and listen. He doen't know what a great gift that was for me. Then Jaime cooked his famous ribs for dinner. Yummy!! One of my favorite meals that he makes. It was so great. We all got to and around the table and chit chat together. One of my favorite things to do.

While we were talking Zane started getting a little fussy, so grandma picked him up to hold him. Zane has been experiencing a lot of new flavors lately, so Grandma and Daddy got the idea to let him try Daddy's ribs. It was cute so we got a camera!!




Zane has started teething so he loved chewing on the bones.




Afterwards we teased that he liked them so much that it was finger lickin' good. Dang he is so cute!!


Thanks so much everyone!! I had a fabulous first Mother's Day. A special thanks to Jaime for always doing what he can to make me happy. Also thanks for sharing this wonderful gift of parenthood with me. You are a Faboulous Daddy and that just makes me want so strive hard to continue being the best Mommy I can be. I love my family!!

I can't believe how big Zane is getting! I swear I haven't seen him in forever! I love all your pics and I love your poems. I had forgotten that you write poetry. You always did do such a beautiful job on all of your poems growing up. I love the one's about your mom too! You are such a good mother!
