My Very 1st Mother's Day!!

I hope all the Momma's had a very special Mother's Day yesterday! Mine was very special. I woke up to little notes from Grayden and Daddy all over Grayden's crib...

We also had brunch at Eola Hill's with Jeff's mom Margie and husband Mike, his daughter Shannon and her husband and kiddos. It was wonderful. They seriously have the best brunch and I have been looking forward to it ever since I became a Mommy!! :) There fried oysters are the best! yummmo

Grayden did so good. He was a perfect angel the whole time, just as I pictured it would be. I just love my little boy so much. I was kind of emotional yesterday. I told Jeff that this is my new favorite holiday! :) Way better than my birthday. I just love being Grayden's Mommy. I really love him with my whole heart. He will always be my first, my first born boy! The one who made me a Momma and gave me the most glorious moment of my entire life. I feel so lucky that God has given me this precious gift and that I have the opportunity to stay home with my little man everyday and to enjoy every second of raising him. I finally understand what Mother's Day is about celebrating and appreciating all the hard work mamas (and some single daddys) do!

Some other exciting news that happened on mother's day is Jeff got me a sewing machine! YEA!! Okay not going to lie I am little nervous about it... haha I have no freaking clue how to sew or work the thing, but I am determined to learn. It may take a while for me to figure it out, but I am so happy I got one. Now we just have to finish my craft/laundry room and I can set it up. I want to be "that" mama one that can sew her little mans halloween costumes. If anything I just want to learn how to do simple stuff like burp clothes, pillow cases, curtains. I want to take a class to maybe learn some of the basics. I swear Jeff knows more about sewing than I do. Thank goodness he didn't spend too much on it. He has his doubts that I will follow through with it, but I appreciate the fact that he knows that I want to learn. As weird as it sounds I feel like it's my duty to learn to sew now that I am a mama! (Okay maybe a little sexist or old fashion) But I do feel like there are lots of things that I need to learn how to do now that I am a mommy example... sew, grow a garden, cook one good meal that I am known for, be crafty, make baby food, have a clean house, like doing laundry, always have dinner cooked and jeff's lunch packed. haha Okay the last 4 things I feel like I should do, but will probably never happen :) Speaking of which I better get back to cleaning... Grayden's Aunt Kari is coming to town this week and we are so excited to see her.
