Mother's Day 2011

Mother's Day at the Betzen house was very laid back and relaxing. Saturday we had a booth at the CedarFest expo, so yesterday I decided I wanted to relax. We skipped church, Brian made me breakfast, went to Costco, got caught up on some shows and took a nap. It was a good day! Next weekend Brian is taking me out on a date, woohoo.

Mother's day is a day that brings so many mixed emotions for those who have lost their mothers, lost a child or have fertility issues. Yesterday morning I prayed for those who may be hurting. Having two healthy girls of my own are a blessing that I do not take for granted (even though they make me crazy some days, ha).

The picture above was taken on Easter, I love my girls and I am so proud to be their Mommy!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is typically a day full of mixed emotions for me and this year was no different. I always miss and think about my Mom, feel blessed to have my Mother by Love Vicki who has loved me like her own daughter since she started dating my father and am thankful for my Mother-in-law Melody. This year added a different emotions because in 66 days I will become a mother.... whew! While I am super excited, it was just very overwhelming at times to think about.

On Saturday morning Brian and I had "Pillow Talk" and he told me all the reasons he loves me. It was super sweet and made me so emotional. For my mother's day gift he gave me an awesome Coach purse that can also be used as a small diaper bag. I love it so much and he did a great job picking it out.

Melody came in town Saturday morning and we had a fun weekend of relaxing, shopping. talking and eating. On Sunday we went to church at Austin Stone and then went to brunch at the Driskell Hotel, which was super yummy.

The only thing missing this weekend was that I did not get to see Vicki, we are planning on doing lunch sometime this week to celebrate Mother's Day.
