My 2nd Mother's Day

I can't believe I have had a second Mother's Day. Last Mother's Day feels like just a couple of months ago! Last year on Mother's Day Sawyer was 3 weeks old and it was super special because it was also the day she was dedicated at church. I will always remember my first Mother's Day as an extremely special day. This year, my 2nd Mother's Day, I was aware that I was a mother of two! Only a few people knew that at this point, but it was true! Crazy!

Casey gave me a card signed by himself and scribbled on by Sawyer - priceless. 

I also got an adorable "Mommy" charm from James Avery that I wear proudly! :)

No, we didn't eat at Carl's Jr. - although it's in the back of all of my pictures, lol.

My precious family of 3 -- soon to be 4!

the purple marker scribbles are from Sawyer :)

Being a momma gives me so much joy. I love my baby girl and can't wait to meet baby#2.

My 1st Mother's Day & Sawyer's Baby Dedication

My first Mother's Day was extremely special. I had a gorgeous 3 week old baby in my arms and it was baby dedication at our church! It was a wonderful celebration of the beautiful gift that God gave me! All of our family came to church to see Sawyer's big debut - both of our parents, Chris & Stephanie and their 3 kiddos, Casey's grandmother, Momma Sheila (my grandma), and my Uncle Russell! We also had lots of church friends their including Jenna and Charlie and Ginni who all took pictures for me :)

Before the dedication Paul McDill asked all the mothers to stand so they could pray for us. It was so weird to stand up with all the mothers including my mom, grandma, Casey's mom, sister, and grandmother.

At the end of the service we went up on the stage with 2 other families to dedicate our babies. Sawyer was the youngest at 3 weeks. She wore the dress that Casey's mom gave her before she was born. It was still big, but it was definitely cute on her! I will always remember my first Mother's Day as the day that we dedicated our first baby, Sawyer Grace, to the Lord. We hope to raise her to love and accept Jesus at a young age.

Casey was so creative and made me the sweetest video for Mother's Day. It documents my pregnancy and Sawyer's first 3 weeks of life. I absolutely love it and will treasure it forever!!

Isn't is just wonderful? I thought it was so incredibly sweet. Love my husband and my baby girl!

PS. There is a very unflattering picture of me in the slideshow (one of me giving Sawyer a bath) that Casey put in there as a joke. He thinks it's the funniest picture ever. Weirdo.
