My First Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was GREAT!!

I get the wonderful privilege of being this little guys mommy and there is no greater gift!

He is such a blessing and I feel amazingly grateful to have this sweet boy in my life.

The weekend went like this...

Friday night I came home to find Jackson sitting on the floor with a box. I thought Jake had brought a box home for Jackson to play with (Jake works for a packaging company), however, it was a box for me!! So I open it and Jake and Jackson had gotten me the DSLR camera I have been wanting! I was sooooo excited. 

Its a Canon Rebel T2i. It came with 2 lenses and a camera bag. Now I just need to take a class to figure it all out. Ha! If you have any pointers, please feel free to share. ☺

After getting to play with my camera for a few minutes, I put the battery on the charger and Jake, Jackson and I went a did a little shopping for Jake some new clothes. He needed them desperately!

Jackson's such a good little shopper. ☺

Then Saturday morning we got up early to be at my Nephew Landon's first T-ball game at 9 a.m. It was so cute to see all the little 4 and 5 year olds playing T-ball. This was also the first time I got to use my new camera. ☺

Then, we did a little more shopping after the T-ball game and I got to get some new tennis shoes and a new outfit for Mother's Day. Yay!

We also went to a birthday party that day at a park. A friend of mine has a son who was celebrating his 5th birthday! 

That evening we had dinner at my sister's house and the guys cooked pork tenderloin! YUM!

Sunday morning we went to church. On our way out the door, there was a vase of white roses sitting on the front porch with a little card that said Happy Mother's Day Jackson's Mom. The handwriting was so pretty that I knew it wasn't from Jake. So I opened the card to find out it was my sweet neighbor. What a thoughtful gift. It really made my day!

 After church we took a few pictures with my new camera. ☺

Then we went and visited my Grammy's grave. Mother's Day just isn't the same without her here. 

We had lunch with my family at the Pasta House after that.

After lunch, we went back home and took a little nap. That evening we had dinner at my MIL's house and watched the season finale of Survivor!  Yay for Kim winning this season!

It was a wonderful first Mother's Day. One I'll never forget! I feel so blessed and loved!
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!
