The girls and I went to a Tea Party at preschool for Mother's Day! It was a very fun a special day!

Nattie was a sweet little kitty in the Little Red Hen!

Taylor was an adorable billy goat in the Three Little Billy Goats!

Graden gave me this beautiful dandelion before church. He was so proud!

I took the kids to Booster Juice on my birthday. The girls have always wanted to go.

My sleepy boys.......zzzzzzzz!

Nattie and Taylor are officially Graduates of Happy Days Preschool! Great job girls! I am soooooo proud of you both!

We traveled to Utah Memorial Day Weekend for Keller's BAPTISM! I cannot believe he is 8!!!!! What a great kid!

We stopped at the Malad Gorge. I thought the kids would think it was cool, and they did. For 2 seconds. lol!

Here is a kick off to a great summer!

who knew 29 years ago.....

I would grow up to be a wifey, mommy and happy....

Or get pregnant with IDENTICAL twin girls that would be healthy and strong. Beautiful, smart, sassy, and wonderful!

Or a son that would be my light in the day, and my stars at night......

After almost 7 years of marriage still be happy and safe. And in love....

Who knew what the Lord had in store for me.............

Before I Was A Mom~

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.



Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .

I did not write this, but Happy Mothers Day anyways!
