I love being a mom! I also love my mom. Saturday, Brian watched all the kids, so I could go to lunch and shopping with my mom and sister. We never seem to have enough time, but it was wonderful. My mom spoiled me with a new shirt and belt. I appreciate her gentle reminders to take some time for myself from time to time. I also appreciate the days when she comes over, rolls up her sleeves and just helps me clean. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
In the last six Mother's Days I have added four new boys to my family. It is an overwhelming task at times to take care of everything and everyone. People often ask how I do it, and at the end of many days, I ask the same question. Things are not perfect, actually far from it, but I know why I do it and that's the most important part. I truely feel a partnership with my Heavenly Father as I raise these little men. The gospel of Jesus Christ brings me such peace and guidance to this seemingly insurmountable task. These boys spoiled me with flowers from Costco and homemade treats from school and church.
My sweet, patient, supportive husband is a key element to any success I have as a mother. My boys adore him as do I. I love watching them hide when he comes home and then they all proceed to the trampoline until dinner.
I love that my boys have eachother. We were at the park yesterday and I sat on the bench with Henry and watched them all play together. They love eachother and laugh all the time. The giggles I can hear down the hall from their bedroom when they tell silly jokes makes it all worthwhile.
