Momma's Day!

What a wonderful day I had yesterday! I think Mother's Day is one of my favorite days of the year....because being a mother is the greatest gift I've ever been given. The day started out at church, where Quin was dedicated to the Lord. He was just a little angel, almost asleep as we walked across the stage, snuggled up on daddy's chest. While dedication does not mean salvation, it does mean that Ryan and I will do our very best to raise Quin in a Christian home, teaching him about Jesus, hoping he will come to know the Lord at a young age. What an honor to be able to dedicate our sweet Quin on Mother's Day!!! LuLu and Aunt Rachy were there with us too. I am so glad they go to be there!


After church my sweet husband took us to Home Cafe' for brunch! It was really yummy and I am pretty sure that everything on the menu looked amazing.



After church we started planting our flower beds (a whole other post soon). Ryan worked all day on them and I helped towards the end when Braidy was awake from his nap and Quin was back down for #2. I am not much of a green thumb, but it was fun helping.

After we were done for the day we went to pick up John from his mom's house. He made me a pretty little flower paper for Mother's Day...so sweet! I got a bike for my birthday and the trailer thing for Mother's Day...it's AWESOME! I've used it pretty much every day since I got it last weekend. Great exercise! John, Quin and I went on a LONG bike ride (John thought it was a little too long, he was tired!)...and apparently Quin did too, he fell asleep about 10 minutes into the ride!




All in all it was a great day spent with the little boys I love the very most! I am so blessed to be a mother to 3 sweet boys, and the wife to one sweet boy!

I am also very grateful I got to spend a part of the day with my mom. She is everything to me and I love her dearly. She is an amazing mom and LuLu to our boys. I told her I never really understood just HOW much she loved us until July 10, 2008, the day my first baby was born. I always knew she loved us ALOT, but you can't understand just how much until you have a child of your own. Thank you mom for all you've done for me and still do even today. Love you SO much!!!

And to my wonderful mother-in-law! You, too, are a selfless mother who raised 3 wonderful boys (I know, firsthand, how hard that is alot of days!)...and who is an amazing Nena to our boys - always so much fun and will do anything for anyone. We wish we could have seen you yesterday, but we are very thankful for you! We love you very much!
