Mother's Day 2013

Our Mother's Day was intended to be a lazy, low key, do nothing kind of day. Ryan woke up with Dominick so I was able to sleep in just a little bit, although it was only for about 40 minutes because I just wanted to be with my family, not in bed alone. I got up and we played...instead of a homemade breakfast we opted for a BK breakfast. HA!

When R got back I said, we should have went to Santa Monica today instead of being gone all day yesterday (we had a birthday party and then ran some errands). After pondering the thought we decided to hurry and get around and we were off to our favorite little day trip destination. We had no plans in mind aside from getting out of the desert. It was just what we needed (aside from the traffic on the 405 that Ryan absolutely despises).

We shopped, walked around, had fun on the pier and had dinner at this delish Mexican restaurant on the pier outside on the patio. Another thing I want to remember about our day is that as we were pushing him on the pier he would "yell" because he loved to hear himself over the bumps. It was quite adorable. I'm not sure our day could have been any more perfect. It was totally spur of the moment, so much fun and best of all I was able to be with my two best guys.

There was a guy there who took our picture. He took this one and then he took the one above. He asked if our lens was set to auto focus and I said yes. He said, "oh let me take one in manual" so he switched it and the picture above is the one he got. We thought it was so funny that the one he shot with manual focus turned out super blurry.

When we got home last night D was ready to play, play, play! He was tired of sitting in the stroller/car seat and I can't say as I blame him. He was going nonstop until bedtime. He did SO good all weekend despite having some off nap times and most of them being in the car. That's one thing I love about my little man.

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day celebrating with your momma's or as a momma yourself.
