Mother's Day and More

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! Craig took me to see a show at the Desert Star (we were supposed to be seeing Jon Schmidt but that show got cancelled so we saw The Princess Bridesmaid) and it was great! He also got me tickets to see Wicked in August at the Capitol Theater! Woo hoo! He knows how to make a girl happy. :) As long as that girl is me. We saw Man of La Mancha after his graduation, and that was amazing too. He's turning us into some regular theater goers. I couldn't be happier! He made me breakfast on Sunday and got me some beautiful flowers. I love my husband! I am the luckiest girl in the world. Not to mention the luckiest mom. See below :)




I also got to to to dinner and a movie with the girls on Saturday. It was so much fun! Melanie, Stacy, Kristin and Marianne. New Mother's Day tradition!


A few weeks ago we had an impromptu trip to Vegas. Brooklyn was pretty much an angel on the drive (for the most part at least), and loved being with Grandma and Grandpa Hanks! Bucket had fun with Toby too, of course. Haha I didn't get any pictures of the two of them. We had a great time swimming and playing games and hanging out!


Brooklyn met a new friend, Lydia.



These two were attached at the hip the whole trip! Brooklyn didn't want Grandpa out of her sight.



My goofy girl.



We had a friend over, little 6-week-old Irelynn, and I realized my "baby" is a giant now. She likes to sit in her bouncer and say, "Baby! Baby! Bounce!"





It appears she may be ready for a sibling!



I want to give a shout-out to my own mom, who has been such a beautiful example of what it is to be a mother. She is a wonderful, strong woman and I am so blessed she is my mom! Love you, Mom! Also to my sweet sisters and sister-in-laws who are always showing me what it is to be a devoted mother and wife. I love Mother's Day! A mother's calling is so hard, but so worth it. I'm so grateful for my little angel, Brooklyn. :)
