Parent Dedication/ Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was very special. It started out with Parent/ baby dedication at church. It was a neat time to dedicate ourselves to raise C to the best of our ability according to the teachings of God. C was tired and cranky because he didn't get his morning nap, but we made it through. I thought he looked very cute in his green and white seersucker froggy overalls! After church we had lunch at at our house. My parents were able to be in town with us. Lunch was yummy. We had spinach artichoke dip, farmhouse chicken, and cake. After my parents left C gave me my mother's day present. I got a card to get a pedicure, a travel mug( with C's pics on it) and cute card signed by C. Chris said he had a hard time getting C to sign the card. He was more interested in holding the card, then letting Chris hold the pen in his hand. Luckily C only had one mark on his leg from the pen. That situation could have gotten pretty messy. It was a wonderful day!

Mother's Day Cake

I attempted cake decorating again on Mother's day. Yes, those are flowers not grapes. I feel better about this cake than the Easter cake. I guess ever little bit of improvement helps. Maybe by Cade's birthday in September they will be a lot better. I hope so!!

Fun with Friends

This past weekend we were able to go to Benton, Ar to visit some dear friends of ours. We had dinner together on Friday night. Chris grew up with Phillip and Tony, and I believe was a suite mate in college with David and Matt. We took a picture of all of the moms and kiddos. It was funny because just a couple of years ago this party would have looked quite a bit different.

K was kissing on C and he had no clue what was going on.

They had just met each other here, but by the end of the weekend they were friends. It was funny how they seemed to be in their own little world. They would babble back and forth ignoring us. We had a wonderful time this weekend and are so thankful for the opportunity.
