Funs Take to the Water

This weekend has been fantastic! Ryan was off from work and we made the most of our time together, running errands and having fun. I got a haircut while Ryan and Colin did the grocery shopping. Then we had lunch at Jimmy Johns. They have the most delicious sandwich called the Beach Club. It is totally my favorite and Ryan's too. We went out to Babies 'r Us to find Colin some swim gear. It has to be said that he is the most adorable little boy is his swim clothes. We also had dinner with Ryan's parents. Turkey burgers, potato salad and chips = yum yum

Today was our first day down at the neighborhood pool. We had such a great time. It took Colin a while to figure it out, but he really liked it. He is definitely our little water bug. We can't wait to spend weekends this summer with him at the pool! Check out the videos!

Afterward, we went for lunch and visited Lowes to look for paint. I think we found the perfect color for the living room/kitchen. Once we finished at Lowes, we had to take a detour to Cold Stone for ice cream! Considering it was so hot today, ice cream was a necessity. Ryan is making lemon pepper fish for dinner while I rock Colin to sleep. Weekends together really make us realize how truly blessed our lives are.

First Mother's Day

Yesterday was my very first Mother's Day. Ryan really worked hard to make it a special day that I would always remember. I received a beautiful amethyst pendant. Amethyst is Colin and my birthstone. I know that I will treasure it forever and think of my two guys every time I wear it. I also got two Mother's Day cards - one from my sweet husband and one from our amazing son. According to his daddy, Colin even signed my card at only 13 weeks old! Ryan also made me a delicious waffle breakfast before going to have hibachi for dinner. He is an amazing husband and I am so blessed. Here's a few photos from my first Mother's Day.

He's such a handsome, sweet little man

And so happy - he loves smiling at Mommy and Daddy!

Before taking me for a Mother's Day dinner, Colin and Daddy enjoyed tummy time.

I can't believe how strong Colin has become.

My first Mother's Day was certainly a day that I won't forget.
