**My first Mother's Day!**

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.  ~Rajneesh

 I was so excited for this day to come, my first Mother's Day. Oh how wonderful it was! Not only because I am now a Mommy but because I also get to celebrate my daughter and the relationship that we have together. I love her so much and have enjoyed her every minute. I do enjoy the every day Mother duties, feeding, changing, bathing, playing, and teaching. I even think she is adorable when she is wining and crying. Her little faces are priceless. I know that I am so blessed to be a Mother. She is heaven sent from her Heavenly Father chosen to be our little girl for Eternity. And I get to be her Mom. Claire- I vow to be the best Mother as I can be to you. We will have good times and we will have rough times. But never bad times. I will always love you. I look forward to the friendship we will have. 


Thank you to our Wonderful Mother's who have taught me to be the mom I want to be. Through your caring, generosity, unconditional love...etc...etc...etc... You both have been wonderful examples and will be hard to beat or even come close too. =)


My Day-

My parents were kind enough to send me flowers for Mother's Day. What a great surprise it was. They were so pretty and I was thrilled to get them. Thank you. 

On Sat. night Luke surprised me with getting a babysitter and spoiled me rotten at Flemming's! It was such a nice ritzy restaurant. I loved it. Sooooooo yummy!!! It was nice getting dressed up and not caring about the menu. I had the Fale' Minion and Luke had the New York Strip. This is the kind of place you go once or twice a year. At least with our budget. =) 
 The Morning of, Luke brought me breakfast in bed! How nice of him to think of that. And to make my favorite french toast. We went to church and I put on my Mother's Day corsage that we made in Activity Days. ( See above pic) After church we went over to my parents house and as soon as we got there they were talking on the phone with Kyle!! Who is on a mission in Canada! He sounded happy and joyful in the work that he is doing. It was a great treat to talk to him and I know my Mom and Dad really enjoyed  his phone call.

Thank you to everyone who made this day really special. I cant wait for future Mother's Days with the macaroni necklaces, finger painted pictures, and handmade clay mugs.
