Mother's Day!

I love being a mom. That's all I've wanted to be ever since I was 5, I do believe. I even dressed up as one on halloween one year. How you dress up as one, I don't know ask my mom. Pretty sure she put my hair in big rollers and I had a bath robe and slippers on, which looking back was probably offensive to a lot of women when they asked what I was and I said a stay at home mom. Hahha. ahh. got to love it. Either way its what I wanted to be. And I'm so happy that I am one to not one but three amazing kids. I love them so much they are EVERYTHING to me and thank God everyday for each one. I'm so thankful for my own mother. She's a very loving and caring person and am thankful she raised me with such love. And since it is Mother's day which is probably one of the happiest days next to my childrens birthdays and Christmas. Its a day to sit and just relish in the fact that your kids, your amazing little kids are yours! And you are their mother and you are the best mother for your children. (heard that today in church and loved it.)
 It really just is a happy day all around. And it's also an added bonus that the kids are always extra sweet to me and they make me the most thoughtful beautiful presents. I love mothers day! I love homemade gifts especially. They are worth way more and your kids created them! Its just awesome and I love it immensely.

 
 5 years ago with little Miss Kailyn
 3 years ago with Lil' Gus 
I only have printed photos of me with Wyatt as baby so I can't upload them. Which breaks my heart. :(
 These three. 
Ohh how I love them.


 My mother's day gifts!
Wyatt made me a book of poetry and the loveliest mothers day card. Kailyn made me a special craft she  hid in her drawer for a whole week! Thats hard for her, that little girl can't contain secrets or surprises long at all but she did this time and was so proud! I loved all of them.
 My very pretty card from my sister. love it.
 The kids made more stuff at church!
Wyatt's flower far left reads: my mom makes the best: food, My favorite thing to do with my mom is: go to the park, My mom is good at: making stuff, My mom is as beautiful as: can be, My mom teaches me: to learn, My mom loves me because: I'm her sun, I love my mom because: She's my mom.
Gus's flower is the middle we did in nursery its things he loves about his mom aka. me: cleaning up w/me, going to the groceries w/me, give me water when I'm sleeping, she puts on my shoes, she plays with me. And Kailyn's beautiful bookmark! 

 After church we came home and the boys made me lunch and then we played legos for the rest of the day. 

 Wyatt is amazing at legos. The stuff he builds is crazy!
 After dinner, that my amazing sister tosh made, the kids and I made brownies. While they cooled the kids put on a puppet show!! Big lulu far left, with little lulu (pinkie) and weenie the wiener dog far right.

 Taking a bow.


It was a wonderful mothers day. 
I hope everyone had a happy mothers day!

Aww! It looks like you had an amazing Mother's Day! You are superwoman/supermom practically raising them on your own. What does Travis do that has him gone most of the time?
