Mother's Day

This was my first legit mother's day! For the last three years we've celebrated me being a step mom to Brayden the week before mother's day. We always went to dinner and he gave me flowers and a card. It was really sweet every year and I love that little man. But this year was different. This year it was for real. We didn't need to celebrate a week early. We got to celebrate the day of.

Dave took me to a great dinner the night before and I was so excited to go out without the baby and eat some real food and take our time instead of rushing. So it was very nice. That night Will woke up at 3am and 4am and at that point he stayed in bed with us. I got up at 7 and made coffee, did some dishes and just watched the news. Then I got to take a shower, a real shower! A shower that I didn't have to take in five minutes. I got to blow dry my hair. I got to straighten my hair. I put on real makeup and lotion all over my body! It was rather exciting. Plus I got to paint my toes! I might go get my nails done this week so I didn't paint them but still not sure about that.

Here's a question to you mommas out there.. I always used to have fake nails. ALWAYS. Years at a time. I took them off before Will was born because I didn't want the germs under them even though I always keep them super short. I might get them back on now that he's six months old. Didn't know if anyone else had them before kids and got them back on after kids!

After we were ready we went to my mom's side of the family for lunch. Got to see everyone there. Then we went to my dad's side. They took my grandma out for dinner and then we head back out to the south hills and went to see Dave's mom. Hung out there then came home and put Will to bed. Then Dave gave me a massage and it was beyond amazing. Then we went to bed! It was a great first mother's day and I cannot wait to celebrate Father's Day!!! I already have half of Dave's gift and can't wait to celebrate Dave being an amazing father to our boys.

Happy mother's day to all of you amazing momma's! I love following your blogs and I'm very happy to know you all through social media especially your gorgeous babies!
