I'm a little late on this post, but to say we have been busy would be an understatement. This was such a different Mother's Day for me. There were no cards, no flowers, and no gifts... What we had was much better than any of that material stuff. We had a great weekend, just the 3 of us. Spending quality time with Ryder is getting more difficult. He is such an active little guy and this pregnant Momma is having a hard time keeping up with him. Not this weekend! It started out with Ryder's Mother's Day Performance at school. I was so looking forward to this, as he had been practicing singing these songs for weeks. Unfortunately, Ryder was overwhelmed by the amount of parents and he didn't participate. He cried through the whole first song and then came and sat with me and we watched the rest of the kids together!
As soon as we got to the car, Ryder said, "I'm ready to sing for you now, Mommy!" And sure enough, he belted out one of his 3 songs that put me right into tears!
And when we got home, my little guy sang me another song. He can't stand still and sing but he sure put his whole heart into it and you just have to love that!
Here's a pic of us when we got home from the performance and Ryder's flower he made me at school! I am so proud of him!
Onto the REAL weekend, stuff! I feel like I've been cooped up in my bed forever! (Okay, its been 7 weeks, but that's a long time for me!!!) So this weekend, I decided I was going to find a way to get to spend as much of the weekend as possible loving on my guys! It was a nice hot weekend and Joe and Ryder were going to be planting in the garden. I knew there was no way I'd be planting but I wanted to be OUTSIDE with them. So, Joe moved the glider outside for me and set up an umbrella to keep me out of the son. It was so fun to just be outside with my boys. Ryder and I squirted each other with squirt guns (and yes, he even hit me with the hose), we ate popsicles together, threw balls into the mini pool to see who could make the biggest splash and just enjoyed the beautiful weather together! I really appreciate the little things we get to do together these days! I know soon enough my time will be divided by 3 kiddos and I just want to hang onto every minute I get with him now.

We rounded out Saturday night with our FIRST family BBQ of the summer that we actually ate outside. It was the perfect end to our our perfect family Saturday!

On Sunday morning, my boys got up early and made me my favorite: Strawberry Pancakes with powdered sugar! My little guy is turning into quite the chef:
Pure concentration
Here's an EGG!

Measuring the oil
Stir, stir, stir...
More stirring

WITH LOTS OF POWDERED SUGAR! YUM!
We spent all of Sunday just hanging out together as a family! It was a great day full of snuggling and games and just enjoying time together! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend! After Ryder went to bed, Joe went up into the girls nursery and began the decorating for me. I sat in the recliner and watched! Hoping to be posting pictures soon as soon as we finish their room! It's been busy at our house, but we better get used to that! I don't foresee many dull moments in our future!!! This might just have been my best Mother's Day EVER!!!
