Happy Mothers Day

Today was such a fun day. Rex normally wakes up around 7-7:30 but he thought he would let me sleep in and didn't wake up until close to 10. It was so nice to sleep in. That never happens. We were off to church. Whenever Steve has a gift for me he has to make a nice presentation and he loves to surprise me. So I went to get in the car and he had my presents sitting on my seat. I got a new camera that is pink and a cute new shirt. I carry my camera with me wherever I go. This one is smaller than my other camera and much cuter. We only went to Sacrament meeting at our ward because my Mom had to speak in my dads singles ward so we went over there. Rex was all meeting out. The only way he takes a nap is if I lay him down in his crib. He never falls asleep in my arms but he was so tired today he slept through my moms talk. I love to cuddle him while he is asleep. He seems like my little boy when he does.

We went back to my parents house for dinner. My brother is on his mission and was going to call around 7 PM. We thought we would eat and then we could all talk to Taylor. He surprised us and decided to call at 5:30. It was so fun to talk to him even if it did mess up dinner. He is doing so well. He has a companion right now that is just as intense as he is. They get along great and he seems so happy. He misses his family but is having the time of his life. While we were waiting for our turn to talk to T, Rex had his first feel of sand. He didn't seem to like it. He fussed until I put him on the grass. He wasn't to sure of the feel of the sand. Maybe he will like it more next time. He would much rather just sit in his chair and let the other boys play in the sand.

I am so thankful that I have such a great family. We get along so well and love being together. We could sit around and talk for hours. The kids have so much fun playing with each other. Rex wishes he could keep up with them.

I have such a great mom who does so much for us. She is always on the go but always makes time. She has taught me so much about being a mother. She loves the gospel and is such a great example to me. She is such a great mom. I love ya mom.

We wish we were closer Steve's mom. We have so much fun when we get to see her. It just needs to be more often. I am so thankful that she has such an amazing boy who has turned into an amazing husband and father for Rex. Thanks Monique for all that you do.

I am so thankful that I am blessed to be a mother. Rex is such a blessing in my life. I can't imagine where I would be without him. I love being able to be with him as soon as he wakes up until he goes to bed. I love his smile and his sweet laugh. I am so thankful for every second I get to spend with him. There are some nights after I put him to bed I just want to go in and hold him. I hate when I can't be with him. Being a mom is so much work but so rewarding. I am so thankful for him.

Happy Mothers day to all you mothers and one day mothers. Here are some pictures of our great day.
