We love moms :)

Mother we love you!!!!! Here is me as an extremely cute baby with my beautiful mother. Dosn't she look happy, even though I was her 7th daughter? You'd think she might have been a little discouraged that she didnt' yet have a son...so I think she was pretty happy under the circumstance!
just kidding... I mean, look at me! I was adorable! I never really knew what an amazing mom I had until I had a baby of my own, & realized my mom did that 8 times and she did alot of it without her mom around. I was lucky enough to have been blessed with basically 7 moms. My mom raised 6 girls ahead of me & so its like I have 7 moms. 7 amazing women to turn to for advise & help whenever I need them. I thank God every day for a mother who raised such amazing children & who as I'm typing is serving the Lord because she has so much love to give. I could never really express how much love I have for her... & I know I've never even remotely been able to show it to her.


Saturday night Sean & I were able to go on an actual date without a baby thanx to my amazing sister Nancie who played with Sam while Sean & I spent some time together. I got some new shirts & went to my favorite restaurant the Cheesecake Factory. mMMM!!!!

Then yesterday was nice. Sean woke up with Sam Saturday night so I could sleep in (wonderful present!!!) & I woke up & just vegged around the house & ate a nice bowl of Pops. Then Sean & Sam both gave me a mothers day card...

Sean's mom gave me a little plate that says "Home is where your mom is" & a card too. The card Sam gave to me had Michael Scott from the office with a talking quote about how kids are easy to raise cause you just give them pizza & candy... it was funny :)
Then I had some meetings in the morning & we didn't want to come back home so we hung out at the church for an hour til church started & then were at church til 4.
While we were waiting at church I took some pictures of the reason I'm a mom...

that kid is tooooo cute!!!!!!

It's a good thing he's cute- cause he decided to treat me like an official mom by not sitting through any of the meetings without fussing. I didn't even get to hear the young womens lesson.


After church we came home & changed & got our stuff together to go to Sean's mom's house. She makes the most amazing homemade spaghetti sauce & meatballs & invited us all to enjoy them with her. So we spent the night visiting with his siblings & mom

Here's Uncle Ben with Sam

I now know that Sam will LOVE his birthday & Christmas cause after I opened the present Sean's mom gave me he played with the tissue & wrapping paper for a good 10 minutes!
Against Sean's wishes I let Sam continue in my tradition of keeping the bow from my package in my hair :)

Here's Sean with his mom & Sammy with his grandma

she was tickling his foot

Sean's sister was there too with her little 4 week baby. Here's Sean & Sammy & Tiffany & David

Sam thought David was very interesting & stared at him when he cried

Uncle Caio loves being a new dad & I know he can't wait til his baby is big enough to do fun stuff with...

Sean's Aunt Elaine & cousin Elyse are here visiting for a few days & Sam thinks that Elys tastes really great apparently!

The only thing that would have made yesterday better.. ok 2 thing... my mom here & me getting a massage. That would have been perfection!

However... I did have a Mother's Day miracle yesterday! I didn't gain ANY weight from the weekend!!! Yay!!!!
