Mother's Day!

What a wonderful first Mother's Day! Chad was so great, he woke up for the 3:30 AM feeding so I could sleep. I fed Landon at 6:30 and we cuddled a bit and then I also got in some cuddle time with Wrigley! Chad made pancakes and bacon for breakfast, so yummy! Landon gave me the cutest card with photos of us all over it and then my present was a Pandora bead, a baby boy shoe.

My baby!
The rest of the morning we spent getting ready for our day and we went to 10:30 mass where I received a flower for being the youngest mother in attendance! The oldest mother was 90 and she also received a flower from Father Jude. I was in the crying room when Father Jude was looking for the oldest and youngest mothers. One of the other dads in the room called out to Father Jude my age, so I had to come out of the room and receive my flower. The whole congregation clapped and I turned bright red. Even though I was embarrassed, it was very sweet of him!

The Hillcox were in town from England visiting Aunt Lyn and Uncle John. So, Grandpa, Elaine, Perry, Aunt Becky, Uncle Sloan, Alison, John, Maddy, Stewart, Michelle, Cheyenne, Bryce, Chad, Landon, and I all went over to Tarpon for a Mother's Day party. Thankfully Aunt Lyn and Uncle John didn't mind our invasion and we had a really nice pot luck lunch.

After lunch we all had a really good time at the pool. The weather was nice so nice, it wasn't ungodly hot and actually it wasn't too sunny either. Aidan was so cute because he wanted to wear goggles and put his face in the water so badly, but he doesn't understand how to make bubbles to breathe out so he was a little afraid. Maddy was an excellent swimmer, obviously it is because her Grandma is part mermaid! Evan liked the water too and Landon fell asleep in his baby raft.

Evan has the funniest crawl! We had to get it on video. Thanks Uncle John for getting him to crawl!


Additional Side Note: Thank you to everyone for making my little boy stay and awake and keeping him entertained all day! He FINALLY slept through the entire night! 9:30 PM to 6:00 AM! :)
