Happy Mother's Day Mommies!
I had such a good day Mother's Day yesterday. I got crepes for breakfast in bed, which Loralai so lovingly helped me eat =), Loralai, my Mom, and I went out shopping then had sushi for lunch. I had a couple of hours to myself in the afternoon (heavenly!), and then Daddy made pad thai for dinner for my mom and I. So although it was a day full of carbs, it was so nice!
I did not take any pictures yesterday =( but I thought that I would provide an update of what us Baker's have been up to, plus the moments that make being a Mommy so worth it.
First we have been doing a little gardening! Last year since we had just moved into the house recently, we did not get a chance (or have the money) to spruce up the outside of our home. I want to make sure that we keep it as low maintenance as possible, which is why there are no flowers in our garden, just a few trees and mulch. Why you see all the dirt is that there is two tiny sections next to the garden that have grass, so because it is tricky to get the lawn mower over these two sections, I decided to take out the sod and replace it with river rock. When we get the river rock in (should be this week) I will post a picture. We are also updating the backyard, but I will create another post about that later.
The next post is another one about her dance class. She loves it, and last Tuesday was parents week. The sense of proudness I feel is overwhelming! I honestly can say that I will be proud of her no matter what she does, no matter how good she is at it, just as long as she gives it her all and has fun! Being a Mom to me is about instilling good values, morals, a good sense of self worth, giving her lots of love, and hope that she turns around and makes good choices and continues to be good person with a big heart; in addition to that, I also want her to know that she will make mistakes, but what matters is what she learns from those mistakes! Those mistakes will just add to her understanding of who she is, and who she is meant to be, so embrace them. Every time I look at Loralai my heart smiles, and these are the reasons why I love being a Mother, and why I look forward to watching her grow up so much!

Why we are laughing in the video above is because this night in dancing, three of the little girls thought that Loralai was just so touchable! haha...too cute!
Love you my baby girl! :)
