My First Mother's Day

What a wonderful mother's day weekend! It started on friday night. Joey secretly got baby sitters (thanks a ton Beep and Boo) and told me to be ready by 6:30. He took me to Tyler St. Bistro and we ate an amazing dinner and then he surprised me with this gorgeous necklace! I don't have pearls so it was perfect. And now you have to hear the necklace story. Ok, the brand is called Add-a-Pearl and it is meant to add pearls on. Jackson is going to get me a pearl each mother's day until he is married and then I will wear the full pearl necklace to his wedding!!!! Ok seriously...all Joey's idea. How awesome!



Then, on mother's day, he took Jackson into his room to get him dressed and he brought him out in the shirt that my aunt and cousins made me when I was a baby! I almost cried. I just kept remembering the pictures of me in that shirt and I couldn't believe my son was wearing it. I was however a year old while it fit him at 5 months. Thanks Aunty, Ginger and Joyia for the shirt and thanks Joey for this precious memory.




My parents came up to celebrate Mother's day with us. We had such a great time as always. My dad got me doors for Mothers Day. Yes...doors. I don't have a picture but they are fabulous. They hide my new workout room. Yeah for handy papaws!

My mom got Jackson a few new toys and some videos which he loves! She got me the prettiest dress from White House Black Market which I am gonna wear to my 10 year high school reunion in september.


Joey dressed Jackson on sunday to celebrate mothers day with his family by their pool. He's such a little beach bum. We had such a great time hanging out in their backyard by the pool. Not to mention their famous food. We ate really well!


Jackson loved playing with his Gran.

He wore himself out and took a little nap with his Beasch.

Back up for some more fun with Aunt Boo.

We had a little pool side photo shoot




What a memorable mother's day! Thank you everyone for making my first one so special!
