Mom-Mama-Mommy and Caden's Day

This year, Caden's actual birthday was on Mother's Day. I can't think of a better little guy to share "my" day with than the one who made me a mom in the first place!

My special day actually started early. On Friday I received some lovely gifts from my boys - roses and chocolate covered strawberries (+a spa gift card - yippee!!)

We started out the birth/mother's day by taking this handsome 2-year old to church

After church we went to JZ's Aunt DeeDee's house to celebrate all of the moms and the May birthdays. Actually, it wasn't just the moms that were spoiled - all of the girls were well taken care of, even Belle

It was a beautiful day int he neighborhood and Caden loved playing at DeeDee's house. He spent the day digging in the dirt and playing t-ball

One thing CP did not do that day was nap. We put him down for a nap in his pack-n-play with no problems. 30 minutes later JZ went inside and heard, "Hi, Daddy." He turned around and CP was standing on the stairs! He had crawled out of the pack-n-play, opened the bedroom door, and walked out. We put him down again - in another room, in the middle of the floor, with the door shut tightly - and it wasn't 5 minutes before he was knocking on the inside of the door saying, "Night-night all done." Apparently he is now a big boy. Luckily, he hasn't crawled out of his crib yet, but it won't be much longer!


After his no-nap, we opened presents and had cake. There were two cakes for the birthday kids. A little Elmo cake for CP

and another one for JZ and DeeDee
They were super yummy!
Two of the greatest blessings in the world is to have a mom and to be a mom and I'm thankful that my boys made the day so special for me
