happy mother's day!!!

We had a great Mother's Day weekend and hope you all did too!

Last night, we went to a cookout at Nathan and Kristin's house. 

Daddy and Addy being cute!

Handsome Prince William was there too!

This morning, we went to church, and then met Nick's family for lunch.  After that, we came home for Addy to get in a nap, and then headed up to my parents' house for dinner.

We picked up my Maw-maw on the way up there.  She and Addy were having a grand old time playing and laughing in the backseat.  :)

Mother's day is definitely not about any gifts or anything like that for me, but Addy and Nick had a special surprise for me.... an iPhone!!!  I have been wanting one, but was under contract with my old phone.  Nick actually got me an iPad for my birthday last month too!  Electronics usually aren't my thing, but I must say, I do enjoy the "i" stuff.

Here's me with my iPad and iPhone in all my iGlory!  :)

I can't believe I went all weekend without getting a pic of me and my gal on Mother's Day.  :(  I'm usually the one taking the pics, but I need to be better about getting ones of us!

This post is a little random and all over the place, but I wanted to share some thoughts mother's day...

I am so, so thankful for my amazing mom!  She is literally my best friend, and I don't know what I would do without her.  She is the kindest, most selfless person I know.  Thank you for all you do mom!  I love you!!!

I am also so thankful for all the other moms in my life too.  I have two amazing grandmothers and a wonderful mother-in-law.  God has blessed me so much with such strong. amazing women.  I am so grateful.

Speaking of grateful...

Words cannot express how thankful I am that God has chosen me to be Adalynn's mom.  I love everything about my girl, and try my very best everyday to be the best momma I can to her.

On a slightly different note... tomorrow is tube day!  We are praying that everything goes smoothly and Adalynn tolerates the procedure (and the rest of the day after) well.

Hopefully I will get a chance to update tomorrow!
