I’m a lucky lady…I do love Mother’s Day because its an excuse to ask my husband for a late night Cold Stones run OR a reason to get together with family (and my dad can’t complain!) and having Yosh go to the grocery store (while I’m still asleep) to get stuff to make breakfast (and spend WAY to much money on ONE meal!) BUT its awesome. Many women loved to get pampered today…but I feel like I’m lucky in the sense that I get it all the time. Usually every weekend Yosh lets me sleep in until whatever time I want…he gets up with Owen with no complaints. The hubs KNOWS how I need my sleep…and gives that to me whenever I need it. Pretty awesome if you ask me!!
But MY Mother and I started celebrating our day on Friday. We went to dinner to Wabi Sabi’s to enjoy some sushi and a glass of wine (Mom was having one of those “I’m going to seriously get out of my car and kill the next bitch that drives slow in front of me” kinda day)…so I thought a glass of Zin would make her feel ALL better…and it did!!
From sushi we headed to a Mother’s Boutique hosted by Maverick’s Volleyball Club. It was fun b/c we got to learn some country line dances…shop around at some vendors (I paid $10 for a sparkly head band…which I’ve been wanting since I was bald…so I was very excited to get ripped off like that! haha) and we got a few Zumba dances in as well. It was a good time!
Saturday morning we were up bright and early in the Souza House. Yosh was up at 3:45am to go deep sea fishing (bought it on groupon for him about 5 months ago)…don’t think he was thrilled about going but said he had fun when he got back.
Owen and I were up early to participate in the Revlon 5k for Women’s cancers. We participated last year… 
Mom, Karen, Erika, myself, Owen and Gabby
So of course, we participated again this year as well…but were definitely missing a few friends this year! 
Mom (and a few other ladies) were wearing a shirt in honor of a little boy named John. John’s dad is a principal at an elementary school in Fontana Unified (where mom works)…and John will be starting kinder this fall… while battling leukemia. Mom said the lil dude is such a cutie and total fighter. So this year during our walks Mom will be honoring him. WHY don’t I have a shirt you ask…well I wasn’t suppose to be doing this walk…with all the difficulty I’ve had with my feet this year I didn’t think I’d be able to do it. And last minute I said eff it…we’re in! So THAT is why I don’t have a cute “It’s On…For John!” t-shirt.
The walk is very cool…but you definitely need patience for it. Trying to navigate around 35,000 other individuals for 3.2 miles is tough…but its fun and we just love the reason behind it all.
The funniest part of the day…when we were standing, moving .01mph trying to walk TO the starting line Owen and I were dancing (had some of our favorite songs!!)…people move soooo slow because at the starting line Halle Berry, Mario Lopez and 2 other celebs are there waving, dancing, motivating, blah blah blah. So we’re dancing away…Owens getting tired and goofy…and all of a sudden…my lovely son motor-boats my booty! Yes he put his face in my butt crack and wanted me to shake my booty! hahaha And he wouldn’t stop. It was funny and totally embarrassing! haha You know its one of those things you do at home…like being silly and then he goes and does it in public…haha Oh Lord.
Sunday I got a great gift…SLEEP! I saw on facebook a lot of women getting breakfast in bed…see my husband KNOWS me…don’t come NEAR me…the gift isn’t the breakfast it’s the SLEEPING! haha So when I rolled out of bed…I had breakfast waiting for me!
French Toast, Pancakes, Bacon, Sausage, Eggs…all so yummy!! AND Yosh was putting together my Mothers day gift…which was outdoor table and chairs…I’m very happy with that!!! Perfect for outside dinners now that the weather is warming up!!
We went over to my parents house after nap for a day by the pool and dinner. Heaven.
Sipping cocktails…chatting with my loved ones…and watching Owen’s excitement to be in the pool at Nana and Granda’s in priceless. He even learned to “choo-choo” all the way around the pool! 
I know Mothers day is tough for my Mom…not having both her children has got to hurt her heart (even more than the day to day hurt!)…I hate that she hurts on days like this without Paul!
But while I was laying out…I was just overcome with happiness. It was so awesome to get to hang out, no stress…and relax. Doesn’t always happen like that in my family, so it was a day that I will really cherish! I put on fb “Happy happy happy”…and everyone thought I was posting that I was pregnant…haha negative. No little Souza's coming right now!!! I’ve got a cruise to get through! haha
Later this week we’ll do “Mothers Day” again with my Mother-in-Law…Owen made a fun presents for her!!!
Hope everyone had an amazing Mother’s Day…I surely did!!!
