Mothers Day

When I think about Mothers day I think about being a mother myself.  Being a mother is one of the hardest things I have ever done.  It was not easy for me to become a mother, and it is not always easy to be a stay at home mother.  But when things get hard this is the picture that I picture in my head.  These are the 4 reasons that I have this amazing calling.  This is my family forever, and nothing will ever change that.  I have never been prouder of any other accomplishment in my life then my three beautiful children and my hansome husband.  I think being a mother is the most rewarding job there is.  I have three beautiful, healthy children  that love me no matter what.  They don't care what size of clothes I wear, or if it something other than my Pajamas.  They don't care if I have showered, or have makeup on.  They don't care if my house is clean, or if I have made them a gourmet meal.  They love me unconditionally for who I am.  There is no one else in the world that can love as much as a child can.  I thank my Heavenly Father every day for trusting me with these special spirits to teach them, and take care of them.  I have never wanted to have a career or high paying job.  I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom, and I am so thankful for every moment of it during the good and the bad.
The other thing I am thinking about this Mothers Day is my Mother.  Words cannot describe how amazing this woman is.  She is truly an angel sent here from heaven.  There is nothing that she wouldn't do, or hasn't done for me and my family.  I honestly could not have made it through this year without her.  She literally put her own life and needs on hold for the entire first 6 months of Teagan and Peyton's life, to focus on making our lives easier.  She has formed a special bond with my children that will last forever.  From the minute they came home from the hospital she knew which one was which, and even knew their individual cries. I can never repay my Mom for all that she has done for me.  The only thing I can do is try and live up to her amazing example.  I love you so much Mom.  I hope you have a Happy Mother's day.  You truly deserve it.
 I was lucky enough to get to spend the entire Mother's Day weekend with my little family just hanging out and spending time together.  That was the best gift I could have ever gotten.  I got to sleep in go out to dinner and have a yummy breakfast made by my amazing husband.
On Sunday we went to the Cluffs house for a delicious BBQ and just to hang out.  Here is Courtney and Peyton Swinging.

It was nice to just enjoy each others company and the nice weather.  I love my family so much.  I have learned so much from my sisters and sister-in-laws. I hope they all had a Happy Mothers day, because they are all amazing mothers.
