happy mama's day

It was a good day today, not a relaxing, get a massage or pedicure or even extra sleep kind of mother's day, but still a good day. I have to pinch myself sometimes that I am a mother, that mother's day is a day to celebrate me too. I am so lucky I get to be the mama of such a beautiful, special little boy and that I have a little girl that will come any day now. I never thought I wanted to be a mom. Now I can't imagine my life any other way. I can't believe Scott and I created such an amazing little person. Not every moment is so wonderful and special, there are definitely challenges and I practice using my patience daily, but I wouldn't trade any of it in.

My day started with an early morning walk. That was nice, to be out in the cool morning air. I met Scott and Kekoa at the farmer's market on the way back. Kekoa picked out the most beautiful flowers, one of my favorites, gerber daisies. Of course he picked orange! Kekoa and I walked home together from farmer's market, Scott drove all the flowers home ( we got my mom a huge potted flowering plant). Walking home with my little monkey was definitely a highlight of the day. He was so cute, we smelled the roses on the way home and had a quick stop at the park. I was hugging him as I put him in the swing and just inhaling his smell. He smelled like a mix of strawberries (sampled at the market) and his sweet smell. I wish I could have bottled it up.
We had to hurry home because my mom was coming over for brunch. Scott and I made my famous french toast...so yummy. Kekoa ate two huge pieces and my mom loved it too. Challah bread definitely makes the best french toast.

After Kekoa went down for his nap, I made a quick errand run to Buy Buy Baby...pick up some last minute things. I feel like I have been procrastinating so many things, so it felt good to get this out of the way, checked off my to do list. I was very excited for the afternoon because my Auntie M was coming with the rest of the Fremont crew.

Auntie M is such a special and amazing woman in my life. I aspire to be more like her, so thoughtful and generous, it just feels good to be around her. I just wished she lived closer to us. It is the first time we have spent mother's day together. She actually made dinner (thank you) and brought dessert too. Dessert was my fave, strawberry shortcake, fresh strawberries, whip cream and short bread...so yummy that I had 2 helpings! :)

I hope all you mama's out there had a wonderful day!





A little snuggle time with baba. Scott had to go to work, but went in later than usual and got to come a bit earlier too.

I loved watching Kekoa play catch with my dad. He couldn't stop laughing.

Uncle Mango even came over for dinner...he is "jogging" now.










so cute watching Kaiwei and Kekoa play legos.
