A Happy First Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day. On Saturday, Max, Wells and I spent the day together. It was so awesome having my boys run around with me and spend quality time together. I spent a good amount of time reflecting on the sweet little boy (below) who made me a first-time mommy! Wells, you are the light of our lives and I feel so honored that the Lord would give me the responsiblity to guide and protect you. I love you with my whole heart! Max, thank you for being the incredible other half of me and the best daddy in the world! I love being parents with you!

Wells went swimming for the first time on Saturday. As you can see below - he loved it and did great!




Then, on Sunday, we spent lunch with Kathryn (Max's mom) and the evening with my mama. My sister and I gave my mom the ultimate float for Mother's Day (below). She has always been in search for the world's greatest float. Mama, I think we found it.

And, by the way, it took my sister and I almost 2.5 hours to blow this puppy up! But well worth it. It seats 6 adults and the babies. So much fun.


While I am on the topic of mothers, I have the world's greatest! I love you, Mama, and am so thankful for you. Thank you for being the best Mama to me and Dolly to our children!

My Mama and Daddy floating together - enjoying their growing family!

And of course, Wells got to eat his groceries and dinner while floating on the ultimate float. He was a fan.

Right before we got out, I tried to grab a mother/son pic. Wells was not too interested.

And finally, my sweet sister and McCall. Sis - you are an amazing mother too! I loved getting to celebrate with you.


All of those Mama's out there reading, or women who want to be mothers, I hope you experience the same joy raising children that I feel. This is the Lord's greatest gift!
