For my Mom on Mothers Day

I really love my Mommy.

She was the first person I ever met and ever loved.

She has always held me close and kept me safe.

And warm and cozy.

She made every single birthday special.

She has always been by my side to cheer me on.

She was my coach.

And she has always been so young and fun. And many people do not know this, but she is also a magic genie.

She has even rocked many awesome hairstyles with me.

My mom is beautiful, inside and out. I've always thought she has a special glow.

And she is truly one of my best friends. I can talk to her about anything. She is always there for me. And we have lots of fun together.
My mom is an amazing grandma to my girls. . .

And to our new son. . .they each have a special bond with her. They love her dearly.

I honestly think I have the best mom in the whole world! I'm so grateful to Heavenly Father for choosing her to be mine forever. I couldn't have asked for a better mother. She has every quality a mother should have and I hope I can become as wonderful a mother as she was. She truly made our house a home, a place I felt happy and warm. I remember coming home from school so excited to just walk through the door and get that feeling back. The Spirit was there when she was there. I am forever grateful for all she has done for me. Now that I'm a mother, I understand more of the sacrifices and work that motherhood requires. But most of all, I understand more of the love she has for me as I love my children and watch them grow. I want them to be happy and be the best they can be and I know firsthand thats what my mom wants for me. And I am so happy. My life is everything I wanted it to be. And I owe it to my angel mother.

Happy Mother's Day Mom. I Love You. XOXO

(And I want to thank my Dad for taking the time to scan lots of pictures from my childhood to share with you. I treasure these pictures!)

She is also very creative and can be found crafting at the table on many afternoons. She is in the 7th grade and is a very hard worker. She is one of the most "on task" kids I've ever seen and never has to be reminded to do her homework. She is also an amazing reader. She is in her second year of piano and is doing great! She also loves ice skating and is taking figure skating lessons. Its definitely a natural talent.She recently did a competition and won first place. She also loves basketball and is a great speller like her big sis. UIL Champ baby!

Cali

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
