Paddle Boats
For Mother's Day, the one thing that I wanted to do was go paddle boating!! I may have underestimated the effort that it took to paddle that boat, but Blake and I had an amazing day at Pullen Park together. This is one of our favorite places!
Mothers Day
One of my favorite days of the year is Mothers Day!!! It is a day in which we not only get to celebrate our mothers, but also women in general! I think women are so amazing and strong. I know that I have learned so much from my mother and grandmothers... and also other amazing women around me! We all have the ability to balance so many things. We are the right balance between strength and gentleness. It is an amazing beauty to watch!
This year I am especially grateful to honor my mom. Recently with all that has been going on, I have tried to be a source of support for her. Many people have said that I am strong, just like my mom. That has been the greatest source of comfort to me...and also a great compliment because she has been so strong this past month!
I was also thrilled to celebrate MY motherhood experience. And it is by far the best and most wonderful thing in my whole life!!! I LOVE BEING BLAKE'S MOM! He is the most amazing kid and I am the happiest person in the world because of him. I am so grateful for the adventures that we have and the bond that we have created.
Part of celebrating motherhood was Blake's Muffins For Mom at his school. It was so cute to see the kids serving us as mothers. Blake made a cute little craft and "All about Mom" project. He said I was 32, I weigh 40 pounds, I drink Mountain Dew, and I say 'I love you" all the time! He was spot on!! :)

Rough May
May started out rough for our family.... so I will be posting several posts on the same day in order to catch up.
First of all... My mom was put in the hospital for two weeks due to complications from her gallbladder surgery in November. It started after our Spring Break trip to Pilot Mountain. She was dealing with a bile duct tear, internal bleeding, a stomach infection, and an infection in her eye. Poor thing has had a tough time! She has become so weak and really struggled.
In the meantime, we lost our Papa Johnson. :( Thankfully he went peacefully in his sleep and we are grateful for the knowledge that he is with Granny again. Blake of course had a hard time with it because he was so close to Papa. We were just there last month!
This has been a tough month for all of us so far BUT it makes me so thankful for all of the wonderful memories that we have all made together.

Family Pictures 2018
It was about time for Blake and I to update our family pictures! Family pictures are something very important to me. Anyone that knows me knows that I live for my family life. My bond with Blake is the most important thing in the world to me and I am proud to say that I think we have a pretty amazing relationship! I am so grateful that my dear friend Ashton can capture our Mommy/Son bond so well!
We laugh, we love, and we learn from each other on a daily basis. This little one is my world and these pictures totally melt my heart!

Sunshine and Strawberries
We kicked off our weekend with a little sunshine and strawberries! This is our mommy/son tradition every year...and for the past few years we have brought along Memommy, but she wasn't feeling well for it this year.
This year I was SO proud because Blake actually picked more than he ate! Haha! He was a great helper this year and he made sure that we came home with a BUNCH of yummy strawberries. I kinda wish that I knew how to make jams and things like that, but I don't, so we will just be eating our little hearts out this weekend and sharing them with others!

Opening Day
This Saturday we had one of the biggest parade days in Rolesville... Opening Day of Rec Baseball!!! Traditionally, all of the recreational baseball/tball teams do a parade down main street of Rolesville. Then they have a little "Opening Ceremonies" before all of the teams play their first games of the season.
Blake is playing Advance Tball this year. That means that they get 3 coach pitches to hit. If they don't hit one of those pitches then they can hit the ball off the tee. It makes for a slow game to watch, but it really helps the kids learn the game.
Blake's team name is the Pirates! He is so excited about this! He also has a good little group of friends that he is making. I always think that sports are also a family thing! Ryan is helping coach Blake's team and I am cheering him on from the sidelines along with the grandparents! He is also #2 this year! I look forward to seeing him play and also improve.
Here are a few pics from Saturday's Opening Day!

Hiking Pilot Mountain
Everytime we go to Pilot Mountain we go hiking. We started by going up to the viewing area when Blake was little. Now he is old enough that we can hike around the big pinnacle. He LOVES hiking and climbing on all the rocks. The views are pretty amazing also. This is one of my favorite things to do with my little buddy!
