1st Mother's Day!

Dear Kacie,

I had a great 1st Mother's Day!

I missed my mommy a lot but it really wasn't a bad day at all.

You and dad let me order myself a new food processor. It got here a couple days early and you had as much fun opening it as I did!

I've already used it like 3 times and I love it. THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me choose my present this year!

Dad also got me some beautiful flowers. They are kind of like fire. He got them a few days early so that  he didn't miss out on the good ones.

He's so smart!

You started the actual Mother's Day crying. So that was cute…

No really, you're still adorable when you cry!

Daddy helped you bring me my other present that day. And you brought it in your mustache so it was adorable.

Dad made cinnamon, almond butter, sweet potato, banana pancakes!

They were not only delicious but pretty!

Oh and we topped them with coconut whipped cream and fruit!

If you look closely, you have a teeny tiny little ponytail on the back of your head.

You helped me open my present

And then you tried to steal my card!

You even signed it!!!!

It's a Mommy Hook!! I'm so excited to use this. I can put a bunch of bags of groceries on it and carry them all in at once!

And then we went on a walk, we took you to a park and you went down the slide for the first time!

You hated the swings… and I'm not totally positive you liked the slide either. 

My beautiful roses again!

And, I am still doing my Whole30, but I only get chocolate from church once a year, so I took it and am saving it for after May!

The chocolate came with this quote:

"Our women are not incredible because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of life - quite the opposite. They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life. Despite the challenges and tests life has to offer - from marriage or lack of marriage, children's choices, poor health, lack of opportunities, and many other problems - they remain remarkably strong and immovable and true to the faith. Our sisters throughout the Church consistently 'succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.'"

-Elder Quentin L. Cook
