Mother's Day

Man am I blessed to be a mama. My whole life I dreamed about being a wife and mom and I feel absolutely lucky to have these two kiddos in my life and a man who takes the time to make events like mother's day so special. I don't get much recognition for being a mom, so it means even more to have a man so genuinely supportive of me.

We had such a fun weekend jam packed full of adventure. On Saturday morning we ate breakfast at our friend Jackie and Jason's house and then walked down to a nearby stream for a salmon release. Colter was so excited to watch the fish swim away! Definitely going to be a repeat tradition for us.

Saturday night we went to a park in Edmonds for a goodbye party for one of the pastors at our church. 

On Mother's Day, Ben made amazing red velvet crepes with a chocolate ganache on top and marscapone filling inside. yummmmmmm

He got me the most beautiful yellow roses. 

You can see the hearts in the background he taped up. I also got a love coupon book, and a bunch of different love notes.

At church on Sunday, we dedicated Madison. It was really special to be on stage with some of our closest friends- the Blankenships and Grants. 

The verse we chose is 2nd Corinthians 12:9 because of Madison's middle name, Abrielle, which means "God is my strength."  ⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Madison & Emma are 2 weeks apart and destined to be BFF's

What a sweet day it was. So thankful for my hubby and kiddos who fill such a huge part of my heart.
