First Mother's Day

I had Dawson three days after Mother's Day last year so this Mother's Day was my first "official" one as a mom. Scott got up with Dawson and let me sleep in and then we all went to church together. Dawson didn't want to sit still (as usual) so Scott had to keep taking him out in the foyer so that he could crawl around. Scott took Dawson home after Sacrament meeting and I was able to enjoy Sunday School and Relief Society without having to manage my squirming, busy child.
We went for a walk on the Draper Parkway in the afternoon and then everyone took a nap but me (what's up with that???). I thought I was the one who was supposed to relax today but I guess Scott, Dawson and Zeus were tired from getting up early so that was okay. We ate leftover red beans and rice for dinner, which is one of Scott's and my favorite meals and tastes even better the day after it's made.
Scott also gave me a mother and child pendant from the Shane Company which I absolutely love. It's made of white gold and has a small diamond in it. It's kind of hard to see it clearly in the above picture but it's really pretty. All in all, it was a great day and I really enjoyed spending it with my husband and little son. I feel so lucky to finally be a mother because this is something I've always wanted to become. It's not the easiest job in the world, but I feel like it's definitely the most rewarding.
