Mother's Day

It's my first Mothers Day having little Brooklyn to hold. Last year she was still in my belly preparing for her debut. It's crazy to think she is almost one. I can say without any hesitation that this has been the best year of my life. I had no idea it was even possible to love anything as much as I love her. I am beyond grateful to have her in my life and am so lucky I have been given the blessing of being her mom. Brooklyn, I love you more than you will ever know and I can't wait to watch you grow up and be your biggest fan along the way.

I can't mention Mothers Day without mentioning my own mom. I hope someday I can be half the mom she is. I love her for more reasons that I can count. She has always been my biggest fan and does so much for me. I love her for all of the little things: the fact she didn't say a word when I walked out of the house in sweatpants almost everyday of high school (I knew it drove her crazy), that the first thing she thinks about when she thinks of having millions and millions is "imagine how much good you could do", that she knows how to talk to me off the ledge when I am freaking out over nothing, and most of all the fact that she has always been there for me and has been the best friend a girl could ask for. Brooklyn is so lucky to have her as a grandma. Mothers day always reminds me of my grandma who was such an angel and example. I miss her everyday but am so grateful I got the time with her that I did. I am even more grateful to her for making it so I got to have such a wonderful mom. I sure have some bigs shoes to fill in that department. It makes me smile to think Brooklyn was the last person to see her :)

My mother in law is so good to us. I love her for not only raising Trevor to be such an amazing dad, but for always doing so much for our family. She goes out of her way so often for us and we are so so grateful! I got lucky with my in laws!

This Mothers Day we spent with our families. The usual, brunch with my family, dinner with his. It was lots of good food and it was so fun having all the boys do the cooking. Trevor and Brooklyn got me the most beautiful tulips. I love having flowers in the house. We love our moms and are so lucky to have them close. They are way too good to us and we are so grateful for all they do.

I wanted to take pictures but the day go so crazy we only snapped a few iPhone pictures.
