Mother’s Day Lovin’

 
 Everything I learned about being a mother, I learned from my mom. I am so thankful that she moved to Michigan to be closer to me….I don’t know what I’d do without her!

I hope you all had a fantastic Mother’s Day. I got to sleep in, got some beautiful flowers for the porch and some just for me, went out for a yummy breakfast with my boys and my mom, did a little antiquing, got a 3 hour nap out of Hudson, spent some time at the park with my boy, and had a great night playing outside. What more could a mama want?

 I’ll tell you what a mama wants….a sweet picture with her boy. I
didn’t think it was too much to ask….but Hudson WASN’T having it!
See what I mean? Little stinker. 
 This was as good as I got. Picture perfect right here….Hudson grabbing my boob and looking dazed. Oh well…there’s always next year, right?
My husband had Hudson color in a page in a journal instead of a card for Mother’s Day. That way, Hudson can draw me a picture or write me a letter in it each year. LOVE it so much!
I’m so grateful for this busy little guy. Being his mama is my greatest joy.
Happy Mother’s Day!

    Love the pictures – even though they are not 'picture perfect', one day they will be so fun to look back on and remember Hudson's spunky little personality:) And the journal card? What a cute idea!!! Your husband is too sweet!

    It's funny that Erin said "why o why can't kids smile for just one picture" because I actually tried that on my son and what happened? He squirmed away and I got no photo! HA. Kids. Sounds like you had a great day! Happy (belated) Mother's Day!
