My First Mother's Day

I started my day early Sunday morning preparing the Peas' things for church. This after having stayed up late the night before working on invitations for their party. I realized while doing these things that nothing makes me happier than being busy for and with my boys. I'm a mommy!

After I got R & E ready for church I decided that I wanted a picture of them to mark our first Mother's Day together. Well, now that these two are mobile it's not easy to get them to sit in one place for more than 1.2 seconds! I used to be able to sit them down and they would stay there. Ha! No more of that now; those days are long gone! Here is what I got:

These shoes were made for eatin', not walkin'!

Ryan loves the camera; his brother...not so much!

The only way I was going to get a decent picture of these two and get dressed for church was to resort to the bouncy chairs! I put on Yo Gabba Gabba and bought myself a good 20 minutes:)

After church my guys presented me with an engraved picture frame marking my first Mother's Day. I was thrilled to see one of the pictures from the Peas' Dedication ceremony. I got another beautiful gift and card, and I was treated to dinner by three handsome fellas. Afterwards we came home, got comfortable, and spent the rest of the evening chasing the Peas. My only "down time" was when we were driving home from dinner, for the first time in months Ryan puked all over me,(which he found to be hysterical) and Evan managed to poop on me (sorry honey but it's true!). I ended the day dog tired and in need of a bath, but none of that mattered since I was with my family. It was the best first Mother's Day I could have hoped for.
