1st mother's day

I grew up with a mom who never really enjoyed being in the spotlight, especially on mother's day. We'd ask, "What do you want for mother's day?" and she'd always say "Nothing." Of course, we always gave her something and wished her a happy mother's day. I honestly think I was blessed with the BEST mom ever and would give her the world if I could. She deserves to be honored every single day!

Now, as a first time mom with less than 2 months experience under my spit-up stained belt, I can see why she never loved this holiday. Of course, I was honored to celebrate the day with my little man and it was nice to receive so many "Happy 1st mother's day" wishes...thank you!

Me and Erich before church. He looks thrilled, eh? He slept the entire Sacrament meeting and woke up to say hi to a few people before we left for our Sunday activities.

We were able to spend a little time with both of our families and moms.

While at grandma and grandpa Hubert's house, Erich got his first piano lesson from daddy. Again, thrilled.


At grandma Susan's house, Erich got to play with his cousin, Cash, who is 6 weeks older than him. They had a fun time rolling around on the floor and completing some stationary exercising.
"All we need now is our other cousin, Dawson, and our shenanigans can begin!"
Aren't they the cutest?!?!

And of course, cute cousin, Cassidy--queen of the boys--came in to play, too.
