My first Mother's Day has come and gone and I am so blessed to have the sweetest little boy to call my son. I spent the weekend in Shiner because my cousin was getting married in New Braunfels on Friday night and Derrick was in Colorado on business. The wedding was at Castle Avalon and was beautiful. Congratulations Josh and Gabbie!
Saturday night, we had my Grandpa and Grandma over for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day so we had 4 generations together which was pretty neat. My brother's girlfriend was also in town visiting another friend and she came over for dinner as well even though my brother is in Paraguay. We ended up staying up til 1 am talking which was super great.
On Sunday, my dad cooked a Mother's Day brunch breakfast and we hung out for a while and then I went and visited my Uncle Doug and Aunt Laura before heading back to College Station. Derrick was working at the US Mint in Denver and was supposed to go to another project but that got cancelled so he ended up flying home a couple days early which ended up being a big blessing because just FYI, celebrating Mother's Day without Daddy around isn't half as cool. He drove from Austin to College Station just to see us for a couple hours before having to leave at 5am on Monday morning, but at least we got to see him and we got a little bit of family time on Mother's Day. He didn't think he was going to get to see us at all so had given me my Mother's Day gift the weekend before. He had made a Shutterfly digital photo book for me "from Rhyder." It documented the first 5 months of his life...so precious. I'll treasure it forever.

| For Mother's Day, mom got me and her a shared Jeep jogging stroller! She loves taking Rhyder on walks so it'll stay in Shiner unless we need it for a special occasion. Perfect gift for my mom! |

| Rhyder was a big fan of his new all terrain stroller |
 |
| I got to witness a neat Mother/Baby moment in my parents' pasture. Beautiful animals |
 |
| On Monday, Rhyder turned 6 months. Besides still not sleeping very well, he's a perfect little guy! |
 |
| He has his 6 month shots today. I only took one photo the whole time and this was it. Ha! Perfect capture. "I heard you say shots....should I be worried?" Poor baby. |
 |
| At least he got cool camo band aids! He did so good. |
I have that stroller it is awesome. Heads up the tires don't like to hold air.
