Hey Greenlake, thanks for the great mothers day!

Maybe I should've really been a lot more careful when I said that I wanted my 1st mothers day to be memorable...

All week Josh and I had been trying to plan what we were going to do for my 1st mothers day.  I wasn't really expecting any extravagant gifts...all I really asked for was for some good quality family time.  The plan that day was to be out and enjoying the weather, and where better place to go than Greenlake and Pike Place Market.

I woke up that morning to Josh making us breakfast...so far off to a good start!  After breakfast we decided to get going cause we really wanted to take advantage of the whole day.  When we got to the lake the weather was perfect, Brandon was in a great mood, and we were all happy to be together as a family. So about 3/4 way around the lake we decided that we should probably stop to feed Brandon before we headed to Seattle.  So we found the closest bench and fed him.  After he was done, I handed Brandon off to Josh so he could burp him.  We then continued our way to the car with me pushing the stroller and Josh holding Brandon.  As we were walking Brandon sneezed and got snot and boogers all over him and Josh...so I  grabbed some wipes and helped cleaned them off...and as soon as I turn to grab the stroller I see it already SUBMERGED INTO THE LAKE!!! OH.MY.GAWD!!  The thing rolled straight into the lake!!!! It all happened so quickly!!!  All I could say was "Oh, JOSH!"  I looked at him and then at the stroller and then back at him!!  Since he was still holding Brandon I just went ahead and jumped into the lake!!!  It wasn't very deep (thank God!) but there I was trying to pull this water logged stroller out of the lake...It was so friggin' heavy that I was having a hard time trying to get it up and over the ledge...finally this man who was sitting on a bench was nice enough to help me pull the damn stroller out.  When I got out of the water the guy asks me "Gosh, there wasn't a baby in there, was there?!?"  Josh says "Nope, I've got him right here."

I was so embarrassed, mad, and shocked all at the same time!  I seriously couldn't believe what just happened...So there I was soaking wet from my hips down praying that I don't get some nasty V-bugs and looking at our sad waterlogged stroller that had Brandon's baby bag attached to it...it had all of his extra clothes, diapers, toys, my wallet, and my cellphone!! AWESOME!

To top it all off we had another few blocks to walk to get to our car!  So there I was pushing this soaking wet stroller with trails of water behind us, gosh how embarrassing!!

When we finally got to the car we just went back home and cleaned off all of the stuff that went into the lake...I probably took the hottest shower imaginable that day!

Josh felt so bad that he asked his parents to watch B that evening so he could take me out to a decent dinner to make up for such a disastrous afternoon.

Geez, talk about a memorable 1st mothers day  -___-
