Mother's Day

I absolutely loved celebrating my first Mother's Day. On Saturday Sammy declared it my day so we could do whatever I wanted to do. He went to the pharmacy to grab something for Aaron and came back with a cute card for me and some cherry truffles. He'd been sick the whole week and when he was handing me the bag of truffles, I thought they were cough drops and was like, thanks for the cough drops? We got a good laugh out of that. 

We went for a long walk in the morning as a family. Then, after Aaron's nap we went to Mod Pizza for the first time. It was SO GOOD! You can put absolutely anything on your pizza, and they even drizzled ranch right onto my pizza in a spiral. I can't wait to go back there. 

After the pizza we went and got crumbl cookie. There was a long line but I didn't care, I was getting my cookies. They were so worth it.

That afternoon we finally had our family pictures taken. I'd been so excited to do it and was a little worried about how Aaron was going to behave since it was close to bed time. When I was doing my makeup, Sammy was dealing with some car troubles so I was all on my own to entertain Aaron and get ready. I put him in the sink to watch me and he had a blast.
I got everything done and was putting my makeup away when Aaron grabbed my blush and threw it on the floor. Good bye makeup. He then figured out how to turn on the sink seconds later and completely soaked himself. When I was cleaning him up he just kept saying dada over and over again. I asked if he could say mama for mothers day, but he just said dada again :)
He was amazing. He was so good in the beginning and we got a lot of great photos. When he let us know that he was done, he sat in his strolled swaddled up in a blanket with his pacifier watching Sammy and I take some couple photos. I'm so glad that we got to spend the day together as a family. 
He's yelling dada in that picture haha!

On Sunday we went to church with my parents and Aaron sat next to his grandma. Then we went over to Sammy's parents for a Mother's Day lunch. They were so sweet and got me flowers, a balloon, and a card. I came out of the bathroom and found them like this. 
I made Sammy take a ton of photos of Aaron and I in the backyard. I kept reminding him that it was Mother's Day so he had to take pictures of us. I had him wear his onesie that says my mom's hugs are the best in Spanish. 

After that lunch we went back to my parents and had our own version of Snooze breakfast tacos. They were SO good! 

It was a lovely day spent with our moms :)

Sammy even wrote a Facebook post about me, something he never does haha!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...
