Happy Mother's Day!!

It is strange to think this time two years ago, May 9, 2009, Bill and I became husband and wife.  Even stranger to think this time last year, May 9, 2010, Bill and I announced to our families we were expecting a little bundle of joy.  And finally this year, May 8, 2011, I can officially celebrate Mother's Day with  my beautiful son and husband.

I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful boy in my life to whom I can call my son, Nolan Henson.  Becoming a mom has been one of the single greatest joys in my life.  The love I feel towards Nolan can never be expressed in words or actions.  He is such an amazing little boy and I cannot wait for him to grow into an amazing young man.  Well, I can wait for a little while because he is growing too quickly already! ;)

I love you  Nolan Henson!!!  You bring so much joy and love into mine and your daddy's lives.

This morning I awoke to a baby boy banging me on the head with a "Happy Mother's Day" balloon.  Nolan's arm was assisted by Bill's hand of course.  Bill being his romantic self, "I LOVE YOU BOO", had gotten me a dozen yellow roses and a delicious ice cream cake!! Bill and Nolan even cooked a fantastic breakfast. I am too spoiled by these silly boys.

I forgot to take a picture of the cake before it was demolished!

Funny story, Bill went through the DQ Drive-Thru and ordered the ice cream cake.  Bill said the workers laughed at him when he pulled up to pay.  Bill apparently thought, it was a common thing for people to order ice cream cake in the Drive-Thru.  The workers even customized the cake and asked him if he wanted a heart shaped one because it was mother's day.  I must give a shout out to the Glen Carbon DQ workers!! lol

The three of us got ready and went to church for the first time as a family.  Nolan did a great job.  After church, we went and ate at La Casa Mexicana......YUMMY!!  Since we at so much food, we came back and sat around the house.  Nana, Papa T, and Aunt Kelby came to pick up Nolan and stayed for some pictures and some ice cream cake.  Before Nana, Papa T, and Kelby left to head back home, we all of jumped in the car and made a trip to the AT&T Store, so Papa T could buy Nana her Mother's Day present.  A NEW iPHONE!! Now Nana can FaceTime chat with Bill or I and see Nollie whenever she wants.

Momma,
You're the most kindest, caring, loving person I know.  I am truly blessed to have you for a mother.  When I was growing up, I looked up to you in more ways than you can imagine and I still continue to look up to you.  As a a young girl, you always told me you could never know the love you have for me until I have a child of my own.  I now know the love you have for me is unconditional because of the love I feel for Nolan.  I look at being a mother with the utmost confidence because I know I was raised by the best.  You continue to amaze me everyday with the gentle and loving heart you have.  You're not only an amazing mother and nana, but an amazing woman!! I love you more than you know.  Thanks for being my best friend and momma.

Love,
Jenna
