Happy Mother's Day

I was served breakfast in bed by Peyton and Jonah this morning. Peyton made me toast and orange juice.
He decided to cut the toast into hearts, since the tops of the bread slice looked like the top of a heart. Peyton is so observant...Love his creativity!

My beautiful children and I

We went to church this morning...my husband gave a wonderful talk on righteous women and Peyton sang two songs about Mothers (along with the rest of the Primary **children's class at our church**). Jonah decided he did not want to sing.

The boys came home with an M&M game to play with Mom. They were given a small bag of M&Ms and the directions for the game. You picked an M&M, then answered a question depending on the color of the M&M, then you were suppose to toss the M&M and see who could catch it...none of us caught it!  Guess we need to practice!

We had so much fun answering all the questions.
Asking Mom the questions

I am so very thankful for all three of my children. They are a blessing to me every single day. I feel so blessed that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with their care. I feel so unworthy and inadequate at times. There have been many times lately that I wish my mother could be here to answer questions I have or to tell me I am doing a great job. A friends mother told me that I am a wonderful mother and that is my Moms legacy...that meant so much to me, I never thought of it that way before. Heavenly Father did not leave me motherless all those years ago, I have been blessed with an amazing grandmother and awesome aunts. I am so thankful for a selfless grandmother who gave up a lot in her life to raise me after my mother's death almost 25 years ago. My MawMaw (grandmother) has been such a blessing to me through the years. She has been a wonderful example of a righteous woman. I know I could not be the person I am today without her. I LOVE YOU MAWMAW! I have been blessed with 4 amazing aunts, that have all taken a part in raising me as well. My mother's sisters mean the world to me...I don't think I could ever express in words how much they mean to me....I Love You All!
When I married Lawrence, I was blessed with another set of amazing women into my life. My mother-in-law Joyce and my sister-in-laws Edna, Sandra, and Laurie have all been there for us and have given advice when I have needed it. My children are so blessed to be surrounded by all these women who love them! Thank you all for all that you do...I Love You!
