A most wonderful Mother's Day weekend!!!

I have been so blessed! I am married to the most thoughtful and genuine man who just so happens to be my best friend! We had a wonderful first year of marriage and were blessed (5 months into our marriage) to find out we were going to have a baby girl! Since the day Gracelyn was born my life has been everything I thought it would be and more. All I ever dreamed about when I was younger was getting married and being a mommy! David and I love being parents and I can't imagine my life without my baby girl! The Lord molded me into the woman he knew David would need for a wife, and molded me into the mommy that Gracelyn would need. Gracelyn has changed my life in so many ways and I am so thankful for my little cute patootie!!!!

David surprised me with a beautiful personalized necklace. He knows I am a sap for sentimental things. The necklace has a bar that says"David" on it and a disk that says "Gracie" then there is one diamond (symbolizing forever) and a pearl (symbolizing wisdom) He was so thoughtful and I LOVE my new necklace!!!

Mother's day started off on Saturday after pictures. We headed over to my parents house for Paradise Bakery and Sprinkels Cupcakes :) My mom gave me (Gracie) some cute things. The Mother's Day Berenstein Bears Book, a little soft dolly that says "Mama's Blessing" and a three CD in one of all the sunday school songs out there. David and I both grew up listening to these so we had a lot of fun singing along to them all day on sunday (yes we actually did the handmotions to "The Lord's Army and Father Abraham ;) After presents,we all played Taboo. (I don't remember laughing so hard in a VERY long time) After WE WON :) the boys headed over to the park to fish and mom and I stayed at home and watched a movie. About three hours and two fish later we all met back at the house for mexican food YUM!!! My sister and her fiance' Dan bought the cutest little jammies and outfit for Gracelyn (pictures to come soon)



Sunday David woke me up with a yummy breakfast AND he kept the kitchen clean ;) We then headed off to church and then over to his parents house for lunch. After lunch we watched Debby open presents. Then dessert was served! Joy, David's sister made the most delish brownies ever!!! Once we were all full, some of us played a game. It was an older game and so much fun!!! Gracelyn once as always LOVES to be around her baby cousin Landon!




Overall, it was such a nice relaxing and enjoyable Mother's Day Weekend!!
