This Mother's Day was so great. Sadie made me this cute picture at the Y, and the big kids each made something for me at school.
Josh got to be with us all Saturday, and he made my dessert then since he would have to work on Mother's Day evening. Peanut butter texas sheet cake- soooooo good!
He grilled us turkey burgers then told me to get out of the house for a bit, and I gladly complied. I went to Dress Barn and got a new skirt and to Target and browsed in peace and got a bunch of cute shirts for $6 each! When I got back, the kids were in bed, the house was clean, and I found what they had been up to. Of course I promised to act surprised when the kids woke up:) Josh has always been a good husband and father but in the past little bit he has really stepped up his game and has been so thoughtful doing little and big things for me to serve me and show his love.
On Mother's Day I said I wanted a good picture of me with the kids and they cooperated! It only took 40 or so pictures ha ha. Church was great, the baby was in a great mood for the majority for the day, and the older ones were very eager to show their love. I got to talk to my own mom and I feel so lucky to have her- she is such an example to me of living the gospel and doing hard things. Add Josh's mom and grandma who send me nice things and are always so kind and supportive and also great examples of Christlike love and service and I am really spoiled in the mom department! Josh made thai chicken peanut wraps for dinner and then headed out to work, and the weather was gorgeous. It was a picture perfect weekend.
Being mom to many littles is exhausting physically and emotionally. But it is the best, and every now and then it is good to be reminded of just how lucky I am to be their mom.

I love the great picture you were able to get of you and all four very cute kids. Even the baby smiled, everyone has a really great smile, maybe even laughing!! Really perfect, even with all looking the right direction! Glad you had a nice mother's day weekend.
It was great to read and see the updates. Your kids are growing up so fast. We hope all is well at your new home.
