Moms Day Re-cap!

Hey guys! Happy Monday! I got back from the Red Rock Relay yesterday, just in time to drop off my bags at home and head out the door to the family parties we had lined up for the day.

First up:

My dads house! He had grilled steak and chicken with all the fixings. I had two hungry kiddos so I wasn’t able to snap any pictures of my meal. I’m not allowed to touch the camera with BBQ sauce all over my hands. 

My sister is pregnant and revealed the gender of her baby yesterday!

We ended up just chatting the night away with the fam.

I had a great mothers day! It was fun to celebrate with my step-mom and MIL. They are big examples to me in my life and I’m grateful to have them in my life.

Mothers day is usually a little rough for me, I love and miss her so much!! My mom passed away in 2005 and it was a rough year for me. Some days you just need your mom.

I’m lucky enough to have so many motherly examples in my life supporting me though!

Alright, moving on..

I’ll get a race recap up asap! I had such a great time!

Here is to a GREAT week!

Do you have a Mothers day tradition?
