Mothers Day Weekend

Mothers Day weekend started out great with the Race for a cure. For mothers day my amazing hubs got me and Gage this sweet new toy!

Gage and I really enjoy it, it sure beats the old stroller we were running with. We ran the 5k again with Natasha, Bradon, and Garrett. If you've never done this race you would not believe the amount of people that participate. It's really amazing to see. I was really proud of myself for one running the entire time, but two pushing Gage for all but maybe 2 min of the race. Hopefully this will be Gage's and I new bonding exercise!

He actually fell asleep 5 min into the race, who does that? He slept for the entire race as well. This last year we have lost two amazing ladies to breast cancer. We ran for my great friend Mika's beautiful mother Monica. We also ran for our amazing neighbors and friends mother Rochelle. Two lives that fell short because of cancer, cancer really does suck!

Mothers day started off a little rocky. I did wake up to beautiful flowers, a sweet card, and endless kisses from my boys. We did our traditional breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. That place takes reservations and we always have had great experiences. Well this year our waitress sucked, now I was a waitress for awhile so i do have appreciation for them. Well she was terrible, and Gage was antsy and whiny. So breakfast could've have better but that's what you get with a toddler and waiting right?

After breakfast we headed over to my grandparents grave. We sure miss them so much. I know they would enjoy their great grandkids and they're watching down on us and they're proud!

We got home and decided to take Gage to his first movie. We went and saw Rio, which was so cute! Shirley and Kimberlee went with us as well. Gage and Kd were awesome during the movie, for the most part Gage watched 75% of it. Just another sign that my baby is getting too big.

We came home from the movie and put Gage down for this nap. We ended up falling asleep for 2 hours as well. I can't remember the last time I took that long of a nap. It was so nice but made me feel really lazy as well. We woke up and headed to dinner at Grandpa and Grandma C's. We had a great dinner and enjoyed some great company with family.

I'm so thankful for not only being a mother but having such amazing mothers in my life. My mom has always been my best friend, my hero, my support system. I want to be the mother she was to me to Gage. Being a mom is hard, it's challenging and it's crazy at times. I would never go back to my life without Gage though. He is so much to me that I hope one day he understands. I feel like you can't truly understand the love of your parents until you become a parent yourself. I love you Gage, you're my world. I hope everyone had a great mothers day as well!
