Mother's Day

My Heros!

What would I do without my mommy??? I really never want to know. I am the person I am because of her. The greatest compliment that I receive as I try to find out who I am is when I am told I am just like my mom. I only wish I can be like my mom. She is truly amazing. I look back at my life and wonder how in the world did she raise 5 kids! Not to mention that all 5 kids are active members of the church and are able to make it in the world on their own. I have to say that is a great compliment to my mom and how she raised us. She is an example to me to how to keep going and never give up. She is pictured above with my 91 year old grandma on Mother's Day. She spends one or 2 weekends of each month caring for her mother. I can't imagine how hard that is for her, but she does it. Love! Devotion! Wow! I love you, Mom!

============================

This is how we feel most days being parents...

Some days we feel like we are going crazy! Being a mom, as most of you know, has its bad days, good days, and absolutely amazing days! I have to admit, I wonder what my life would be if I wasn't a mother. Truthfully, I can't imagine it... my life is what it is because of my kids. Every thought, every prayer and everything I do is because of my kids. My kidlets make me want to be a better person... A few months ago I was going through a VERY hard time in my life and I really had a hard time functioning... Thank goodness for my kids because they were the ones that got me out of bed and moving. I had to be their mother, I had to take one step after another for them. Because of their unconditional love, I dug myself out of that dark place and into a brighter part of my life. My kids are my world. I love them to pieces!

For Mother's Day Scott got me a new camera... I know, another one... This one is a nicer handheld camera for better portability... We had some fun taking some "test" shots...

I love being a Mom!
