*First Mother's Day Ups and Downs*

My first official Mother's Day was wonderful! We weren't able to visit family in Utah but that just meant that we were able to have a quiet day with just my little family, and we didn't have to run around like crazy. I loved it! My sweet husband and adorable son gave me a few shirts that are more comfortable for me to wear right now. And Brock had no help picking them out. He did an amazing job finding some of the cutest tops ever! He also found a shirt for me that was his favorite to give me. He's been wanting to find me a Boston Red Sox shirt for a while and fnally did! It was so cute! Now we just need to find Brandt one and we can get some family pictures. Here's me and Brandt on Mother's Day with my Boston shirt. It's not easy to see but it was way cute!Here's our cute little family! Brandt didn't want to cooperate too well, we took quite a few pics to get one good one. The down side to my Mother's Day is that Brandt is trying to cut 4 teeth and is pretty fussy. He is getting the two teeth next to his front teeth, so he may look kind of funny for a while since his two front teeth are coming after the ones on the sides.

I was able to talk to my little brother Alex who is serving a mission in Minnesota right now! His mission president let him call the family on Skype. It was great! We were able to have me, Brock, and Brandt on with my brother that lives in Virginia, and the rest of my family that lives in Utah. He's doing great but can't wait for summer to come either!

Here's Brandt thinking about trying to crawl. He went backwards a little bit but then gave up.
Here is Brandt's new favorite thing to eat! He loves ice cream.
Here he is on Easter with Papa Craft reading a book. We had a lot of fun visiting family on Easter.
Here he is with Aunt Natalie in his Easter outfit.
This is the day before easter coloring eggs at Grandma Nielsen's. We had to entertain him with the spoon so he wouldn't keep trying to reach the cups of dye.

Hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day also! I am so lucky to have so many wonderful examples of mother's in my life! Thank you mom for everything you have and are still teaching me! I love you!
Here are two of the wonderful women in my life! This is my Grandma Burke and my mom at Brandt's blessing. They have been a huge help to me and I love them both so much!
