Big Weekend

This was a big weekend for us because it was Mother's Day and Jason's birthday all wrapped up into the same day (so, who gets breakfast in bed?)

-

We started off the weekend by doing a 5K race on Saturday morning for the Florence-Crittenton school charity. Jason and Mia were the third stroller across the line (and I finished) so it was an all around success. Mia got some face painting done and snagged two stuffed bears to be her race companions.

On Sunday, Jason got to open up his present from us (a Sun Devils jacket) and then Mia and I went to church. Mia was very good at church and I felt honored to have my little girl with me on Mother's Day. After that, the whole family went to George and Rosemary's house for a beautiful Mother's Day brunch. We had fresh waffles, berries, eggs, and salmon. Mia ate all of it up and loved every bite.

I am so blessed to be a mom to such a wonderful girl. It has been quite a trip but one that I enjoy. I love being a mom, maybe not every second of the day, but overall, it is a wonderful experience. Thank you to all the moms in my life that continue to teach me, support me, and work hard for their own children.

I want to conclude by wishing Jason, my wonderful husband, a happy birthday. I love you so much. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you. You are a dear man for sharing your birthday with Mother's day and making me feel so special today too.
