Giggles for Mother's Day!

I had a fantastic first Mother's Day. Really a fantastic weekend.

How can I not have a great Mother's Day when I get to spend it with this little butter ball.   

 My weekend started on Friday, as most of them do, because Tyler is off on Fridays. We spent most of the day at home which is just what I needed. I got a little "extra" present unexpectedly at Home Depot...mulch! Not the most glamorous thing, but I loved it! Kinda hard to see in these pictures but it looks great! (please excuse the untrimmed bushes in front of our house, saving that for another day)

I then got my actual Mother's day present in the mail. I LOVE it! Adelaide and Daddy did a good job. It's a necklace with Adelaide's name, her birth stone and a pea pod (b/c I call her my sweet pea)

Saturday morning was started off with breakfast from one of Tyler and I's favorite BBQ places in Mission, RJ's. They serve breakfast on the weekends and we'd never tried it. It was good and it was almost like getting breakfast in bed b/c Tyler went out and brought it back for me! Adelaide and I then went back to Horton that evening to go to the Baptist Church Mother/Daughter banquet with my mom and grandma Sextro. Ashlyn and Aaden were able to come too. It was so fun to have my own daughter at the banquet along with three other generations!

Probably the biggest highlight of the weekend was getting Adelaide to laugh for the first time!! We've been trying to do this for a while, she'd always smile real big but we never got far enough to laugh. This weekend we finally broke through! These pictures really don't do it justice but they're some of my favorite of her so far because she looks sooo happy. It's been so hard to catch those smiles up to this point but she's really starting to do it more and hold on to them. Please notice her shirt "Mommy Adores Me"...so true!

 I'll leave you with a little mommy/daughter moment at bedtime. Adelaide's new bedtime routine includes reading a book every night and she really seems to enjoy it. Daddy and I both enjoy the time too.
