Mother Dearest

Have I ever told you that I love being a mom?

Well, I do.

It didn't come easy.  It actually was pretty hard the first couple years.  

The days dragged on, and I really wondered how anyone could handle more than 2 kids.  

But over the years, things have changed.  They have gotten WAY easier.  Way more fun.  

And instead of long days, I am finding that the weeks and months go by too fast.  

I love it more and more all the time.

I love being loved by my kids.  They will often run up to me just to tell me that they love me.  :)

I love seeing them love eachother.  They bring out the best in eachother.  

Sometimes the worst, but usually the best.

I usually love the chaos. 

 A house filled with noise, laughter, music, and running footsteps is a house where 

great childhood memories are made.

I love my kids' animated faces!  Huge eyes and silly facial expressions make any dull day a blast.

I love really knowing how much my parents love me.

We spent Mother's Day in Orem with my mom, and boy did I get spoiled!

Crafts from kindergarten, preschool, sheet music to "WICKED!", and a day at the salon!

I felt the love, BIG TIME!

Our weekend was jampacked with fun activities.  Starting with a race for polio vaccines.

I even got to sing with the band!

We also got to ooh and aah all over the new baby!  

The girls started begging me to have another one...

Looks like I'll have to.  :)
