My First Mother’s Day!

Yesterday was my first mother’s day as a mom!  I’ve always gotten presents in the past because my sisters got presents and it wasn’t fair to leave me out.  I just told mom last week that this year I wouldn’t be getting sympathy presents and I’d get real presents.  She told my granny who said this year should be the sympathy presents   Last year I had no babies, as a matter of fact, I brought my parent’s cat home a year ago on Mother’s Day.  This year I have 2 babies, who would have thought it???

I spent the weekend back “home” and it was great to get to spend some quality time with my parents but it also gave me a little break.  On Saturday my in-laws watched Zach and Sarah so I could go to town with my mom and granny.  I had to twist their arms but they were willing to keep the kids for a few hours.  Wow, I actually tried clothes on!  It was wonderful and I thank them a million times over.

On Sunday Zach had a big day.  It started out with a pony ride

He did great, not an ounce afraid.  As you can see, he also didn’t feel the need to hang on!

When we got back to my parents he played outside with his cousins.  He had a blast in the sandbox so now I know that we have to get one built at our house.

He played and ran around so hard that he literally fell over and slept in the middle of the living room floor.  I took advantage of the moment and put Sarah next to him so I could get a picture of the two of them together.  I know he’s sleeping but it’s best for her safety if this is the way I take pictures of the two of them.

Maybe next year at this time they will both officially be mine?  In the meantime, I sure am having fun and they sure are wearing me out!
