Happy first Mother's Day to me!

Me with my gifts and my sweet girl. Haylie was quite interested in what I got.

I looove being this cute girl's mom! What a blessing she is.

Our little family!


Isn't she adorable?!
I had such a wonderful Mother's Day. Jake made it just perfect for me.
We ran off to 9:00 church that morning where Jake spoke in sacrament meeting and told everyone how amazing I am. (kidding! ;)) He did an amazing job.
Haylie was well behaved in church and took a long nap in my arms during Relief Society so I could sit and enjoy the lesson. What a sweetheart.
We then came home and Jake made us delicious guacamole and beef enchiladas. Dinner was so yummy!
I opened my Mother's Day card and gift from "Haylie". I think dad helped pick it out for me. ;)
You can see my gifts in the first picture. I got the blue shirt I'm wearing (Jake picked it out! He does quite well with that kind of stuff!), dark chocolate Rasinettes (Mm, dark chocolate.), a 4-cup measuring cup and potato scrubber (I know, not very exciting but I've been needing both of those things for a while!). I got spoiled by my two favorite people!
Then, Jake even made us homemade oreos! I requested that we color the frosting different Spring colors so they had light purple, green and pink filling!
The weather was so awesome that day so we went out for a walk and delivered some oreos to a lady in our ward. It was the perfect end to a perfect Mother's Day!
I feel such great joy in being a mom. I love seeing Haylie grow and change every day! I am so blessed that I can stay home and care for her. It isn't always easy but I wouldn't want to do anything else. I love my Haylie girl!

Thanks, Jake, for a wonderful day!
