Flying Time

It was my first Mother's Day this past Sunday and it was great! I got to be with the people I love most; my husband, daughter, and family. Shane surprised me with a new camera and I can't wait to use it more! For my mom and mom-in-law I decided to make gifts this year.

Here's what I made my mom:

And my mother-in-law:

The hand prints on the frames were extremely hard to do since Val kept curling her fingers, but I did my best.


The day before Mother's Day there was a big event in Daybreak. A lot of food trucks were there so we decided to try out a couple. I got a waffle from Waffle Love and Shane and Val got grilled cheese from the Grilled Cheese truck. My waffle was the best waffle I've ever had and I now understand the hype about it. I may have gained five pounds eating it, but it was more than worth it.

 I got "The works." Biscoff spread with a fruit of my choice (banana) and cream.

Call me Katnis.

The past couple of days Valarie hasn't been herself. She's been up all night crying and fussing all day. It's been hard since she won't sleep, it doesn't matter if she's in our bed or her own. I'm tired and have been very grateful for caffeine, I don't think I'd be functioning without it. Today she started tugging at one ear, so we think it's an ear infection and we'll be calling her doctor, (who is the best by the way,) tomorrow.

Yo Gabba Gabba is the only thing we've found that distracts her.

Valarie is going to be one so soon and I can't wait! I've been getting ready for her party and I think it's going to be awesome! Also, I don't feel old enough to have a one year old, or a baby, or a husband, or a place of my own. I feel like I haven't gotten any older since I was sixteen, where the heck is time going??
