Silly explorers

This last weekend, we got to spend some quality time with Zayley!! Love that little girl so much, and so thankful for some extra time with her!  She and Kincaid played great together (minus K going in for a bite - whew! Glad I caught him before he chomped down!)!

A tradition in the making???

I sure hope so!! If it means this deliciousness for 12 mornings in a row (ha! like I can only eat one a day!!) then YES, PLEASE, PLEASE let it be our new Mother's Day tradition for Jon to gift scones over flowers!! 

My first "official" Mother's Day was spent with Kincaid, my mom, sibs and sweet niece for breakfast/lunch, and then I raced back to Stockton to spend the afternoon with K & Jon!! We had a great dinner from Gella's and I got the sweetest note from Kincaid - kindly drafted by his daddy!  Jon made three attempts Sunday-Tuesday to buy me flowers, but it just wasn't meant to be!  So, he resorted to scones (at my very clear recommendation), and I was so pumped!! 

I'm feeling so very blessed by Kincaid, and am so grateful every day that I'm his momma!  There are also some amazing women that have taught me so much about being a woman and mom, so a shout out to just a few of you: mom, Wanda, Gma W, Gma S, Cait, Karen, Lena.  You are all amazing, beautiful women, and each of you has taught and continues to teach me more about myself and being a mother.  There are so many more of you out there, too.  It's impossible to name you without accidentally forgetting somebody.  Past coworkers, past/current friends who are expecting/new/experienced moms.  I've just been richly blessed to encounter so many Godly women at every stage of motherhood!  Thanks to you all, and hope that on Sunday you felt like the special mom you are!   

3rd Annual Girls Weekend!

I am so, so blessed to have these amazing women in my life!! The weekend of April 19, we made our annual girls weekend, and had a blast!  It's so amazing, challenging, refreshing to get together with Andrea, Lena and Jada face to face!  Thankful for the Lord's work in their lives, for the different stage of life we are all in, and how we can keep it real and loving regardless of how often we talk, email or see each other!  Here are a few snap shots of our weekend together!

We stayed at an amazing apartment in Hyde Park - in the area where there are some amazing restored mansions!  Thank you Homeaway.com for helping us find such a sweet spot!! We ate delicious food all weekend, cooked together, relaxed, and had some yummy beers/wine all with great conversation!  The girls couldn't quite get over how dirty my car was!! Hello dirt roads!! :) Can't wait for next year!!
