Mother's Day Weekend

This past weekend I was able to celebrate my 2nd Mother's Day.  I am so thankful that God chose me to be Connor's "Momma" and can't wait to meet our new little one in October!  We had a fantastic time hanging out with family and I was spoiled all weekend by my two boys.


I started celebrating Saturday morning when I received these beautiful flowers form Kevin and Rachel.  I have loved having fresh flowers in my house this week!  Thank you!  


Later that afternoon we headed out to Dripping Springs to spend some time with Cole's family.  We enjoyed a great lunch that included some of Bill's smoked brisket.  It was nice visiting with everyone that was able to make it.  Connor always has a great time at his Nana and Poppa's house.
We also were able to celebrate Mother's Day early with Grandmommy or "Grandmomma" as Connor calls her.
After a short nap we spent the rest of the evening celebrating Mother's Day with my mom.  Kevin and Rachel were unexpectedly in town so we were all able to celebrate together.  Such a nice surprise!  Connor put on show for his aunt and uncle most of the weekend.  Rachel sent me some really cute videos that she took that I will post soon.

Several of us were in the mood for Mexican food so we headed to Chuy's for Mom's Mother's Day dinner.    

I love how Connor is looking up at Cole in this picture!

Connor and Cole made Sunday morning extra special for me!  Cole let me sleep in a little later while he got up with Connor and made breakfast.  Then Connor came in to wake me up when breakfast was ready announcing in a VERY excited voice "Momma, Dada pancakes!"  This boy loves pancakes as much as his mom!

They also gave me this huge balloon, a new CD, and a gift certificate to get my nails done!  Connor held on to the balloon all morning for me. :)
We tried to get a picture before church, but this was about as good as it got.  Connor was more worried about the balloon being in the picture with us than smiling for the camera.
Thank you Cole and Connor for making me feel so special.  Also, thank you to my wonderful mom and mother-in-law for being such great examples for me.  I love you all very much!
